Actor Luke Wilson draws inspiration from his Los Angeles living experiences for his role as a washed-up soap star in Netflix's 'No Good Deed'.
Living in Los Angeles has proven to be beneficial in more ways than one for Luke Wilson. Not only has the actor called LA his home for more than two decades, but it’s also provided plenty of fodder for his latest role as JD Campbell in the new Netflix series ' No Good Deed .'
