Luke Wilson and I first met in 1999, when Bill Clinton was president and Luke’s team and mine, the Dallas Cowboys, were only three years removed from a Super Bowl, as opposed to the current 26. Luke lived in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park, in a ramshackle house that felt like the setting of a film noir classic.
