Wilson joked in response, ‘From now on, every time I get a bad review, I will say “Please talk to Richard Marx.” (Thanks @richardmarx, you’re pretty fucking great, too).’

In between thanking his fans and friends, he also congratulated his hometown Tampa Bay Lightning NHL hockey team for advancing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Wilson has worked quite consistently in big-budget fare and indie projects alike, in both leading and supporting roles, for nearly 20 years, though he doesn’t have the A-list type of fame that some of his contemporaries do.
