Owen Cunningham Wilson (born November 18, 1968) is an American actor and screenwriter. He has frequently worked with filmmaker Wes Anderson, with whom he has shared writing and acting credits on the films Bottle Rocket (1996), Rushmore (1998), and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)—the latter received a nomination for the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay. He has also appeared in Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), and The French Dispatch (2021). Wilson also starred in the Woody Allen romantic comedy Midnight in Paris (2011) as disenchanted screenwriter Gil Pender, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination. In 2014, he appeared in Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice and Peter Bogdanovich's She's Funny That Way. He made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the Disney+ series Loki (2021–2023) as Mobius M. Mobius. Wilson is also known as part of the Frat Pack, with whom he has starred in comedic films Meet the Parents (2000), Zoolander (2001), Starsky & Hutch (2004), Wedding Crashers (2005), You, Me and Dupree, Night at the Museum (both 2006), Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), How Do You Know (2010), The Internship (2013), and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014). He has collaborated with Jackie Chan on three action comedy films: Shanghai Noon (2000), Shanghai Knights (2003), and Around the World in 80 Days (2004). He is also known for appearing in the family films Marley and Me (2008) and Haunted Mansion (2023). His non-comedic films include Anaconda (1997), Armageddon (1998), The Haunting (1999), Behind Enemy Lines (2001) and No Escape (2015). His voice acting roles include Lightning McQueen in the Cars film series (2006–2017), the titular character in Marmaduke (2010), and Reggie in Free Birds (2013). Wilson's accolades include an Academy Award nomination and a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Screenplay (for The Royal Tenenbaums), a Golden Globe and two SAG acting nominations (for Midnight in Paris and The Grand Budapest Hotel) and an Independent Spirit Award (for Inherent Vice).
