Career:
Wilson won critical acclaim for his performance in Mike Nichols' 2003 drama HBO mini-series Angels in America. He received both a Golden Globe nomination and an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He played Joe Pitt, a Mormon, Republican and sexually confused, but in the end, gay lawyer.
Next he appeared in The Alamo in 2004. In the same year, he appeared in The Phantom of the Opera. He starred alongside Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum.
In 2006, he had his first star billing film role when he was cast to play Brad Adamson in Todd Field's Little Children opposite Kate Winslet.
That same year he appeared in the Golden Globe-nominated Running With Scissors as Michael Shephard; the film was an adaptation of Augusten Burroughs's best-selling memoir of the same name.Note: He plays an IRS Agent and appears on screen for approximately 30 seconds.
In 2008, he starred in Neil LaBute's Lakeview Terrace as Chris Mattson opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and Jay Hernandez.
Wilson plays Nite Owl II/Dan Dreiberg in Zack Snyder's 2009 film adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen. For this role he had to gain 25 pounds after filming flashback scenes as the slimmer Nite Owl II. This film reunited Wilson with his Little Children co-star Jackie Earle Haley.
Wilson was recently confirmed to voice a variety of villains in the feature Buggs P.I. with Ben Stiller, Will Arnett and (rumoured) Dolph Lundgren.

The most underrated actors (21 person items)"Hugely talented on the stage and film, Wilson has a part in every area. Singing and acting. He holds himself strongly in each film he stars in and yet his work is never looked upon with recognition.
