Owen been in all of them except Moonrise. He even co-wrote the first three.
I feel like he kind of owes his career to Wes. Bottle Rocket was his first acting role, too. Ben Stiller loved it, and then that relationship took off and he started getting roles through him. He did a great job of kind of circumstantially networking early on. It's not like he went to a prestigious film/performing arts school, either (English major at Texas).
Hell, Bottle Rocket was Luke Wilson's first movie, too.
And Rushmore pretty much launched Jason Schwartzman's career, though he obviously isn't as big a star as Wilson (plus, since he's part of the Coppolla family, he would have been ok regardless). Still, that movie is definitely what put him on the map.
I like the addition of Ed Norton to the group Anderson film regulars. He was great in Moonrise and looks like he'll be good in Grand Budapest too.
