From wiki:
He has more than 50 film credits, including In the Heat of the Night, In Cold Blood, The Great Gatsby, Dead Man Walking, Pearl Harbor, and Junebug.[2] In 1980, Wilson received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture for his role in The Ninth Configuration.[3][4]
I only know him from the Walking Dead (Zombie show). But in interviews, the other actors would talk about what a great guy, and a great actor he is. My kids are big fans, and one of them has a photo of him and herself up on her wall. Taken during one of those fan conventions where they really make the money I think.
I’m a friend of Scott. He would have appreciated you and your kids! Glad you posted. I’m really saddened. Great, authentic person.
