Wilson was also one of three judges sitting on The WA Inc Royal Commission in the early 1990s which eventually led to former Premier Brian Burke being jailed in March 1997.
Studied at the University of British Columbia, where he became a member of the Players Club, directing, painting sets and acting in leading roles. Moved to London at the age of 22, acting in films, television and on radio.
