St. Petersburg, Florida – “A Gifted Man” is CBS’ hottest new fall series and the show’s lead character, Patrick Wilson, was back in town Saturday night.

The Tampa Bay native was playing on stage in front of a sold out crowd at a club called LOCAL 662 in St. Petersburg. Wilson played the drums while his brothers Mark and Paul also performed on stage with him in a band named “Van Wilson.”

The event was held as a fundraiser to raise money for the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.

Patrick Wilson says, “I feel like if you can do something you’re passionate about and have a great time you know then it doesn’t feel like a dinner when everyone is in suits and ties and you’re giving money.”

Wilson adds, “Those events are certainly important. But for us if you can get the common person that may just want to come out and have a good time and hear some music and give to charity – especially a very noble one like the free clinic – then we’re in good shape.”

Organizers say it’s fitting that the band is raising money for the St. Petersburg Free Clinic, because Dr. Holt, the character Patrick plays on “A Gifted Man,” leaves his private practice to help a free clinic.

Patrick was wonderful on “Watchmen” Unscripted and you can watch it below!:

ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! talked to Broadway and Film star Patrick Wilson on the Vancouver set of Watchmen about playing Nite Owl II, to read the interview click here.

Adapted by Zack Snyder as the follow-up to the smash CGI-enhanced Persian War epic 300, the film features Wilson as Night Owl, described as “a rich kid interested in birds.” Watchmen will “be set in an alternate 1985 with plenty of Cold War overtones.” It will also feature Matthew Goode as clever vigilante Ozymandias, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the Comedian, Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach and Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre and Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan.

The project the subject of big screen speculation, with such directors Paul Greengrass, Darren Aronofsky and Terry Gilliam once interested in directing a Watchmen film. Larry Gordon, Lloyd Levin and Deborah Snyder will produce.

In 2008, the biggest movies of the year were superhero movies: The Dark Knight and Iron Man. In 2009, another superhero movie looks to be equally huge, and that’s Watchmen, Zack Snyder‘s adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel.

First published as a serial comic book in 1986, Watchmen was immediately heralded for turning the notion of a “superhero story” on its head. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, Watchmen depicts a group of vigilantes who band together to fight crime; they have costumes, but no unusual powers … save Doctor Manhattan, a scientist who acquires supernatural abilities after being caught in an experiment gone wrong.

There’s been a lot of talk (maybe too much talk — OK, sorry, antiquated U2 reference) about Zack Snyder’s involvement in the project, which has taken eons to get off the ground. Would he be faithful to the book? Too faithful, not faithful enough? How would he handle all the side stories, and such a large ensemble cast?

Now you can get the answers straight from the horses’ mouths, as Moviefone’s Unscripted interview series is bringing several of the stars of Watchmen together to talk about the movie. Now’s your chance to grill Patrick Wilson (Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl), Billy Crudup (Dr. Jon Osterman/Doctor Manhattan), Matthew Goode (Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias) and Malin Akerman (Laurie Juspeczyk/Silk Spectre) about their geek knowledge of the comic book, about what it felt like to wear all that rubber or play a ginormous blue man … or whatever else your fanboy/girl heart may desire.

Submit your question in the comments section below for Crudup, Goode, Akerman or Wilson by Tues, Feb. 17, and be sure to include your first name and the city where you live. Then check back here on March 2 to see if your question made the cut. Thanks, and good luck.

Tall, handsome and clean-cut, Patrick Wilson, who co-stars with Kerry Washington in “Lakeview Terrace,” seems born to play the romantic leading man.

But for his roles in “Angels in America,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Hard Candy” and “Little Children,” right up to “Lakeview”, Wilson looks for the cracks in guys with perfect facades.

“I’m certainly attracted to the fallen hero. That always interests me,” Wilson said in a one-on-one Herald sitdown earlier this week. “The emasculation of the male I get very into. We all want to get into that identity and what it means to be a man, a husband, a father.”

In “Lakeview Terrace” Wilson plays Chris Mattson, a man married to his college sweetheart, who “thinks he’s fine. He’s got little secrets here and there, but he doesn’t realize he’s on different pages than his wife. He has to consider what it means to be a man and be in this marriage and possibly a father. He’s not sure about any of those things.”

As Brad in “Little Children,” Wilson played an unemployed househusband with a disinterested wife, swept away by an adulterous affair.

Married to actress Dagmara Dominczyk with a 2-year-old son, Wilson graduated from Carnegie Mellon University majoring in drama. With time and much experience, he’s adjusted to the rigors of making love and getting naked onscreen,including a nude swimming romp with Washington for “Lakeview.”

“It’s always awkward filming,” he said. “It’s just as awkward as when you’re 15 and you have to kiss a girl onstage. It never changes. But after doing scenes like ‘Little Children,’ it doesn’t even faze me anymore. It’s just a day at the office, sadly,” he said and laughed.
