For those of you who don't know who Andrew Wilson is, he is the less famous older brother of Luke and Owen Wilson. Naturally, he is an actor like his brothers, albeit a less successful one. But this status does not bother him one bit. When told by a reporter that he didn't know that Andrew existed, Wilson quipped, "Perhaps you missed by turn as a gay cop in The Big Bounce?" Although he isn't a star he has turned up in small roles in his brothers' films. He broke out as "Future Man" in Bottle Rocket, turned up as "Coach Beck" in Rushmore, was stellar as "Hansel's Corner Guy" in Zoolander, and stole the show as "Beef Supreme" in Idiocracy. In addition to his acting talents, he co-directed 2005's The Wendell Baker Story with his brother Luke. A little known fact is that he has a pellet lodged in his hand from an accident when he was a kid. It can be seen as Ben Stiller's character's hand in The Royal Tenenbaums. Hopefully we will see more of Andrew in the future. For his impressive body of work, we give a hoot.
