Wilson and Anderson launched each other's careers. Anderson's first feature film "Bottle Rocket," which Martin Scorsese named one of the best films of the 1990s, is Wilson's first credited acting role.
Wilson has worked the most collaboratively with Anderson, as he has not only acted in six of his films but also co-wrote the auteur's first three films: "Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore," and "The Royal Tenenbaums."
Featured in: "Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore" (he has an uncredited role as Ms. Cross' deceased husband), "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," "The Darjeeling Limited," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
Best role: Though "Bottle Rocket" was his breakthrough and he's anything but "not a genius" in "The Royal Tenenbaums, Wilson's role in "The Darjeeling Limited" is unlike most of his other credits. He gets a lot more screen time and deserves it.
