Popular actor Luke Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Legally Blonde, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Wilson, a cultural icon

Born Luke Cunningham Wilson in Dallas on September 21, 1971, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Wilson's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Luke hasn't done.
