In 1995, Wilson graduated with a B.F.A. in Drama from Carnegie Mellon University. Shortly after, in 1995, Wilson made his acting debut as an understudy in the role of Chris in the U.S. touring production of Miss Saigon.[4] The following year, he portrayed Billy Bigelow in the U.S. national tour of Carousel.[5] A role in the Off-Broadway production of Bright Lights, Big City (1999) followed, and Wilson made his Broadway theatre debut in The Full Monty (2000), portraying Jerry Lukowski.[6] For his performance in the role, he was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical.[7][8]
Circa 2000, Wilson completed work on the film My Sister's Wedding, which has never been released.[9] He sang "On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady for Julie Andrews' awards ceremony when she received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2001.[10] In 2002, his performance as Curly in the Broadway production of Oklahoma! received critical acclaim, with Wilson being nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical and Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for the second time each.[11][12] He won critical acclaim for his performance in Mike Nichols' 2003 HBO drama miniseries Angels in America. He received nominations for both the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie.[13][14] He played Joe Pitt, a closeted Mormon Republican.[15]

Wilson played Dan Dreiberg / Nite Owl II in Zack Snyder's 2009 film adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen, gaining 25 pounds for the role after filming flashback scenes as the slimmer Nite Owl II.[21] This film reunited Wilson with his Little Children co-star, Jackie Earle Haley. On October 19, 2010, in Yankee Stadium, he sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch of Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between theTexas Rangers and the New York Yankees.[22] On November 20, 2010, in Yankee Stadium, he sang the United States National Anthem before the first football game in the new stadium, played between Army and Notre Dame.[23]Wilson played the primary antagonist Lynch in 2010's The A-Team, and co-starred with Rose Byrne in James Wan's horror film Insidious.[16] He returned for the latter film's sequel, Insidious: Chapter 2, which was released in 2013.[24] In 2013, Wilson portrayed the famous paranormal investigator Ed Warren, alongside Vera Farmiga starring as his wife Lorraine, in the horror film The Conjuring.[25] The film was critically acclaimed, becoming one of the highest grossing horror films of all time.[26] Wilson reprised the role in the film's sequel, The Conjuring 2, released on June 10, 2016.[27]
In January 2014, Wilson was announced as the lead for the second season of FX's anthology series Fargo, for which he is nominated for the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Miniseries or Television Film.[28] In March 2014, Wilson was cast in an unspecified role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man,[29] but later left the film due to scheduling conflicts brought upon by multiple delays with the film's production.[30] That same year, he was cast in the independent Western film Bone Tomahawk opposite Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox.[31] In 2015, he joined the cast of John Lee Hancock's biopic The Founder, based on the life of McDonald's fast food restaurants founderRay Kroc.[32]

On June 18, 2005, Wilson married Polish-American actress Dagmara Domińczyk, also a Carnegie Mellon University graduate (he graduated in 1995 with a drama degree; she graduated in 1998).[33] On June 23, 2006, Domińczyk gave birth to their son, Kalin Patrick Wilson.
