[edit] A flaccid penis?

"Its resemblance to a flaccid human penis has been noticed by satirists on NBC's Saturday Night Live."

Is that really appropriate here? That just sounds silly to me...

[edit] The Butterscotch Stallion?

Is this a legitimate nickname? john k 30 June 2005 20:27 (UTC)

[edit] Chindo?

chindo? the wikipedia link is for a breed of dog; is that what's referred to? if so, it needs a lot of clarification.

also, it'd be helpful in the filmography to list writing, direction, and production credits for his movies, rather than just acting roles. bikeable (talk) 07:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture?

Could someone find at least one picture for this page? At the moment, all we have is a tiny picture of his lookalike in Date Movie. --DearPrudence

[edit] Political Donation

Is this info really necessary? I personally don't care for it, but it is documented and factual, so perhaps it should be allowed to stay. --DCrazy talk/contrib 00:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

"Owen has been accused of often playing the same character in all his films. Indeed, it would appear that aside from Behind Enemy Lines, Owen has made a conscious effort to turn his back on the quirky indie type films which made him his name in favour of manufactured typical Hollywood Romantic Comedy films.[/i]"

Huh? He's made a conscious effort, has he? Could you back this up with a statement? And it should be noted that Behind Enemy Lines preceded his roles in both Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic, so your argument could be better argued.

[edit] Furry?

The person next to me is wondering if Owen Wilson is a furry. Any information on this subject available?

[edit] Nose

The Yahoo Movies biography says his distictive nose shape was the result of it being twice broken. This article claims it is a birth defect. I'm going to change it. All search results indicate broken. Prometheus^-X303- 13:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Roles

Are Cars and the Shanghai Noon franchise really representative of his career? I'd think the following films are more suitable selections:

• Bottle Rocket (his breakthrough debut)
• Zoolander (His first large role opposite frequent co-star Ben Stiller)
• Wedding Crashers (Biggest hit to be carried on his star power)

This article mentions that Behind Enemy Lines is his only dramatic role. But he was in the Minus Man.

[edit] Schools

The present article mentions "his high school" — which one? He attended St. Mark's School of Texas in his freshman year, then was expelled and attended Thomas Jefferson High School, and eventually graduated from a military school in New Mexico. We should clarify. Incidentally, this bouncing around from school to school is mentioned in most bios of him (including the Wilson Brothers site), so it's probably notable enough to include in the article. I just can't decide which is the most appropriate spot. Lawikitejana 06:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's going on

this page is totally fucked up. is it supposed to be the Owen Wilson page, but has somehow acquired the text for St. Mark's, or is it St. Mark's page, but has been retitled Owen Wilson? Triangl 21:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the article back before it was changed to be the St Mark's info. --Sidhebolg 21:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life

Do encyclopedias use the word fucking?

This one apparently does! You might want to check up on the anacronyms of Snafu and related ones.....eye opener!

[edit] Character quotes

The Character quotes are a complete mess.

[edit]

There is no quote in this article that can demostrate or affirm that he is catholic--Domingo Portales 23:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
