In 1988, Wilson was tapped by film director Gabriel McGuilla to play criminal Stewart Baucklan in the film Baucklan, but he turned it down, stating that he did not want to play a criminal, "especially not one who existed". Wilson went on to star in the military film Zinrico Dave. He closed out the 1980s with a role as a college student in 1989's I'm Back in College!.

Wilson's first role in the 1990s was as a funny gym teacher in the film Coach McBelch. In 1992, Wilson was cast to star in the movie Joe Eezel, a role for which he had to shave his head bald. In a 1993 interview, Wilson stated that he disliked having to go bald for the role. He took a break from filming until his hair grew back enough for him to return to work without "being laughed at for my baldness". By 1994, Wilson returned to work, playing a corrupt politician in the 1995 film Crooked, which many critics accused of being a lot like his 1986 film The Prescaderna Politicians. Wilson responded to those critics by saying, "Those politicians (in my 1986 film) were not very crooked like the ones in Crooked."
