Early life
Wilson was born in San Francisco, California and was raised in Sebastopol, a city in Sonoma County, California. His introduction to acting came thanks to his mother, Janis Wilson, a musical composer and musician. When he was nine-years-old, she was directing a local production of A Christmas Carol. Wilson agreed to take part at the suggestion of his mother, and was cast as Tiny Tim. From that moment on he continued doing theater as a child. While he didn't do theater in high school, he partook in concerts and marching bands playing alto and tenor saxophone.
At fifteen, Wilson decided that he wanted to become a professional actor. While in high school he signed with Look Talent, a San Francisco talent agency. At seventeen, he began studying at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, he landed a manager in Los Angeles who began getting him auditions.
