Wilson's Face - Perhaps the show's best-known gimmick. Since Wilson was partly inspired by a neighbor that Tim Allen had when he was very little and was too short to see over his neighbor's fence (and therefore unable to see his neighbor), the bottom half of Wilson's face was almost never seen on the show, unless he was playing another role. Instead, it was almost constantly hidden and sometimes blocked by various props, such as fences, grills, masks, plants, or scarfs. In one episode, Mark was papier-macheing his face leaving the bottom half of his face revealed. Also on one Halloween episode, Wilson was seen at a costume party dressed as the Phantom of the Opera, the mask covering the top half of his face and leaving his mouth revealed. On one occasion his entire face was visible, although hidden behind Halloween makeup.) On another occasion his face was covered with clown makeup. On yet another occasion his face was covered with a beard. His face was fully shown following the series finale episode while taking his final bow. During the show, Wilson is usually working on an unusual project of some sort in his backyard. One of his projects included a self portrait, and when Tim asked to see it, Wilson showed it to him, but only the upper half of Wilson's face was completed. The joke was referenced in "The Karate Kid Returns" as he said, "Some of them have never seen my face". Someone else was supposed to play the character 'Wilson'. When he found out that his whole face would never be shown, he refused to do it. The creators of the show held auditions again, and Earl Hindman got the role of Wilson. Once, Wilson's mother visited him, and because she was shorter than Wilson, the only thing of her the audience ever got to see was her right hand.
It's just a gimmick.
That was the gimmick, it kept people tuning in to see wether they would ever show his face.
It was just a gimmick. You know. Kind of like how we didn't see Norm's wife Vera on Cheers or Niles' Wife Maris on Frasier. Except we knew Wilson was there. lol.
What I want to know is. How come this question is in the Soap Opera category? Shouldn't it be in Comedy or sitcoms?
Take Care,

what the heck is up with the dude that answered this question first?? guess what? i wrote five sentences and still got two points for answering. ie: they don't show wilson's face so you will watch the show just in case they do show it.
The actor who played Wilson was only seen full faced in the season finale when the cast came on stage for a final bow. The actor himself died of cancer a few years ago.
