Owen Cunningham Wilson (born November 18, 1968) is an American actor known for the diverse roles he has played and his slightly crooked nose. He was also featured recently in the Girl Skateboard Company movie "Yeah Right!" in 2003 (A common misconception about this movie has people believing Wilson is a professional skateboarder, after a comedic bit between Wilson and professional skateboarder Eric Koston leads to Koston "challenging" Wilson to perform a number of impressive manuevers, for which a body double is used). Wilson has been dubbed "the Butterscotch Stallion" by the internet gossip site Defamer, a nickname which has widely caught on in the mainstream press. His mild voice and oddball character make him perfect for his many petty crook roles. Wilson has co-written three films with director Wes Anderson—Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums, and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001 for Best Original Screenplay for his work with Anderson on The Royal Tenenbaums. Wilson's younger brother, Luke Wilson, is also a well-known actor.

Wilson's roles have varied between small, quirky comedy collaborations with Anderson and bigger budget box office fare, including seven movies made with comedic actor Ben Stiller. He and Stiller, along with brother Luke, are considered to be three of the core members of the Frat Pack.
