Owen Wilson BIO

Audiences got their first glimpse of Owen Wilson (born November 18th, 1968) in the Wes Anderson directed cult favorite Bottle Rocket in 1996 which led to roles in 1996's The Cable Guy, 1997's Anaconda, and the 1998 blockbuster Armageddon.  Owen Wilson again collaborated on the script for 1998's Rushmore with Wes Anderson, and did so again in with their Academy Award nominated screenplay for 2001's The Royal Tenenbaums.  Owen Wilson catapulted to the top of the box office with roles opposite Ben Stiller in the films Meet the Parents (2000) and Zoolander (2001) as well as his chemistry-filled pairing with Jackie Chan in the films Shanghai Noon (2000) and Shanghai Knights (2003).  Owen Wilson later returned to the formulas that breeded success by matching up with Ben Stiller again in Starsky and Hutch (2004) and Meet the Fockers (2004) and also with director Wes Anderson in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and The Darjeeling Limited (2007).  Owen Wilson would once again conquer the box office in 2005 with the smash hit, Wedding Crashers, with Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher.  In 2008, Owen Wilson would star in the tear-jerker Marley & Me with Jennifer Aniston and would later rejoin Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian in 2009.  Owen Wilson has a huge slate of upcoming films including the family comedy Marmaduke (2010), a sequel to Meet The Fockers (2010), an Untitled James L. Brooks film (2010) and the Jenna Fischer comedy Hall Pass (2011).
