Richard Wilson is celebrating his 88th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor Richard Wilson (Merlin, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 88th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Wilson, a cultural icon
Born Ian Carmichael Wilson in Greenock on July 9, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish 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 Richard hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Richard Wilson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 88.
Happy Birthday, Richard, you're the best!
