Wes Anderson

Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969, in Houston, Texas) is an American writer, producer, and director of films and commercials. He attended St. John's School, a private school in Houston, which was later used as a filming location for Rushmore. Anderson then studied philosophy at the University of Texas, where he met future collaborator Owen Wilson.

Personnel

Anderson has created each of his films with many of the same actors and other crew. Actor Owen Wilson co-wrote Wes Anderson's first three films and has appeared in major roles in three of Anderson's films (only a photo of Wilson appears in Rushmore). Actors Bill Murray, Kumar Pallana, his son Dipak Pallana, Stephen Dignan, Andrew Wilson (the "third" Wilson brother, after Luke and Owen), Luke Wilson, Brian Tenenbaum, Eric Chase Anderson, and Seymour Cassel have each appeared in three. Anjelica Huston has appeared in two. Jason Schwartzman has appeared in only one Anderson film, though he was rumored to have been the first choice for a role in Life Aquatic, yet was unavaliable.

The Pallanas, Seymour Cassel, Brian Tenenbaum, Stephen Dignan, Eric Anderson (in his roles on film as opposed to behind the scenes), and Andrew Wilson often have smaller, yet still important roles.

Mark Mothersbaugh (as mentioned above) has been involved in the scoring of multiple Anderson films, and Wes Anderson's brother, Eric Anderson, has been involved in set design for several of the films and had very minor parts in three.
