Douglas Wilson(I)
- Actor
- Producer
Doug Wilson grew up on his family's farm in central Illinois. He
graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and moved
to New York in 1986 to study at the National Shakespeare Conservatory
to pursue a stage and screen career. He won several stage and
commercial roles but he didn't quite take to the hurry-up-and-wait
nature of auditioning. In the meantime, Doug supplemented his actor's
income by doing different odd jobs from professional window washing to
handyman chores to word-of-mouth interior design jobs. Later in the
April 2000 issue of House and Garden magazine he noted an article on
color psychology which got him an invitation to audition for "Trading
Spaces," which, at that time, was in its formative stages.
