Q: Is the star of A Gifted Man the son of Paul Newman? He looks just like him.

Catch Patrick Wilson in the movie Young Adult.

Jane Anderson, Fort Myers Beach, Fla.

Patrick Wilson, the star of the new CBS medical drama, isn’t the son of Newman — although his actual father does get his fair share of screen time. His father, John Wilson, is the award-winning co-anchor of the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. news for WTVT, a Fox affiliate in Tampa. The station also features another Wilson: Patrick’s brother John, who also is an anchor and reporter. You can check out the acting Wilson, who was raised in Norfolk, Va., on the big screen in the new comedy Young Adult.

    Yes, the brother’s name is Mark. To Beth Hipp Tyler: Mary Kay is the correct name of Patrick’s mother. :)

  2. Mary Lou says:

    What’s up these days with Loretta Swit of M*A*S*H* fame?

  3. Maryann Studley says:

    Please make a correction in your next edition. Mark is the brother’s name. Fox 13 news is watched daily and weekends.

  4. Beth Hipp Tyler says:

    John & family lived behind our house, when he was in Charlotte market, when I was growing up. GREAT memories of John, Mary Kay (?) and the boys. Super neighbors. The boys were young then, John worked long hours and Mary Kay (?) took care of everything. Shocked and thrilled to hear what they are all doing today.

    There is an error in the response to this question. The brother’s name is Mark. I watch Fox13 news all the time.
