CALLOUT {Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture}]

Signature Style The 59-year-old Brit seems to take himself more seriously as an actor than as a fashion template, preferring to keep a low-key style for publicity outings.
This Look At a premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, Wilkinson is appropriately casual in a blazer and jeans.
