Excessive drinking at an early age derailed his career. Sobering up in 1988, he returned to the big screen in a few minor roles, but for the most part has been working in theatre. In July 2004, Wild underwent surgery for oral cancer and had some vocal chords and part of his tongue removed, affecting his speech.
