Tom Wilkinson
Popular British character actor Tom Wilkinson was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, and comes from a long line of urban farmers. He is the son of Marjorie (Percival) and Thomas Wilkinson. Economic hardships forced his family to move to Canada for a few years when Wilkinson was a child; after he had returned to England, he attended and graduated from the University of Kent at Canterbury with a degree in English and American Literature. Wilkinson first became active in film and television in the mid-1970s, but did not become familiar to an international audience until 1997. That was when he starred as one of six unemployed workers who strip for cash in Best Picture nominee The Full Monty (1997), and he went on to win a BAFTA for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. That same year, he was featured in Oscar and Lucinda (1997) and Wilde (1997). Wilkinson was also shown to memorable effect as a theatre financier with acting aspirations in Best Picture winner Shakespeare in Love (1998). Over the next few years, Wilkinson would become more popular, especially with American audiences, with such roles as General Cornwallis alongside Mel Gibson in the blockbuster The Patriot (2000) and as the grief-stricken father, Matt Fowler, in the critically acclaimed Best Picture nominee In the Bedroom (2001). For his role in that movie, he received a nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Since then, Wilkinson has made memorable appearances in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Batman Begins (2005), The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), Valkyrie (2008), Duplicity (2009), The Ghost Writer (2010), The Debt (2010) and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011), among others. Wilkinson also received his second Academy Award nomination for his acclaimed role in Michael Clayton (2007). Wilkinson won an Emmy Award for his work as Benjamin Franklin in HBO's John Adams (2008) mini-series.

Tom Wilson
A black, conservative Republican from Waco, Texas, Wilson moved to Nashville after high school and attended one year at Fisk University. He then attended Harvard and was head of the Young Republicans on campus there. Although he graduated in 1954 with an honors degree in economics, Wilson was more interested in jazz music, joining the Harvard New Jazz Society and working at WHRB, the college radio station, where he set up jam sessions and got involved in the local jazz scene. After graduation, he soon began producing jazz records, including the debut album of Sun Ra. He joined Columbia Records in 1963, replacing Quincy Jones in the Artists & Repertoire department there. Wilson then became the first black producer to be hired at Columbia. However, they wanted him to work with a fairly new artist they had recently signed, Bob Dylan. Wilson produced Dylan's albums Bringing It All Back Home, The Times They Are A-Changin', Another Side of Bob Dylan, and Highway 61 Revisited, from which he produced "Like A Rolling Stone" before being replaced by Bob Johnston after a falling-out with Dylan. While at Columbia, Wilson also produced Simon and Garfunkel's initial effort, the 1964 acoustic folk album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. Although it sold very poorly and led to the duo breaking up, by early 1965, the song "Sound of Silence" began to get increased radio play requests, especially from college students. After the success of "Like A Rolling Stone" in summer of 1965, Wilson had heard the Byrds' electric version of Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn" and got the idea to record a similar rock backing track for "Sound of Silence" with drums, bass, and electric guitars. He overdubbed the track onto the original acoustic track of "Sound of Silence" without the duo's knowledge, creating the duo's first hit song, released in late 1965, after which they reunited and quickly recorded a second album featuring the new electric version of the song. Around this time, Wilson left Columbia for a higher-paying position at MGM subsidiary Verve Records, where he produced Freak Out, the 1966 debut album from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. He also produced most of the 1967 debut album from The Velvet Underground and Nico, although production credit went to Andy Warhol. In 1968, he quit MGM and founded the Record Plant studio in New York City. He worked with Motown in the 1970's and lived in London for a time. Wilson and his business partner, producer Larry Fallon, were working with Danny Sims, the manager of singer Johnny Nash. Wilson and Fallon had written an R&B opera called Mind Flyers of Gondwana that, according to a 1976 article in Melody Maker, "weaves together the legend of Atlantis and the story of the black man in America from his roots in Africa." It was to star Nash, Gladys Knight, Gil Scott-Heron, and the Righteous Brothers, but it was never made. In 1978, Wilson died of a heart attack in Los Angeles, secondary to Marfan Syndrome, a connective tissue disease. He was buried in Doris Miller Memorial Park in Waco. For some reason, his tombstone incorrectly shows his year of death as 1975.
