Owen Wilson

Biography

Owen Cunningham Wilson is an Academy Award-nominated American actor and screenwriter known for his laid-back persona and distinct comedic voice. A frequent collaborator of Wes Anderson and Ben Stiller, he has remained a Hollywood staple for over three decades, balancing indie favorites with massive studio blockbusters. In 2026, Wilson reprises one of his most beloved comedic roles: Kevin Rawley, the spiritually enlightened and suspiciously perfect ex-boyfriend, in "Focker In-Law" (November 25, 2026). The film, which is the fourth installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, sees him reuniting with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro to navigate a new generation of family chaos involving a pop star in-law played by Ariana Grande. He also stars in the R-rated festival comedy "Rolling Loud" (2026), where he plays an overprotective father who attempts to bond with his son by sneaking him into the famous hip-hop music festival. The film features appearances by real-life artists like Travis Scott and Sexyy Red. These theatrical releases follow the success of his Apple TV+ series "Stick", which premiered in mid-2025 and was quickly renewed for a second season. Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, a washed-up pro golfer attempting a comeback by mentoring a young phenomenon. The role has been praised as a perfect vehicle for his charm, often described by critics as the "Ted Lasso of golf".
