My Take
Owen Wilson interests me because his easygoing drawl hides a real craftsman. People remember the warm, rumpled charm of Cars, Night at the Museum, and Midnight in Paris, but I keep coming back to the fact that he co-wrote The Royal Tenenbaums and earned an Oscar nomination for it. That Texan, Wes-Anderson-shaped sensibility, dry yet tender, runs through everything he does. He has a rare gift for lowering the temperature of a scene, letting a film breathe just by ambling into frame. Unflashy on the surface, principled underneath, he is exactly the kind of actor I never tire of watching.
