Rumors of friction between the two had occurred late in the 1978–79 season, but it calmed down after Estrada's injury at the beginning of the 1979–80 season. Wilcox and Estrada were never the best of friends, and Wilcox confirmed that some of the rumors of on-set feuding were true. He added: "We're just two totally different people."
Wilcox was executive producer of the TV movie Death of a Centerfold: The Dorothy Stratten Story. The story had a deeper resonance for Wilcox, whose older sister was shot in front of her three children and her mother. The accused murderer, her husband, was later acquitted in a celebrated trial in Wyoming and subsequently killed in a barroom brawl, according to Wilcox.
Wilcox appeared in a 1985 made for TV movie sequel to The Dirty Dozen, called The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission. He played a convicted war prisoner recruited to help kill a German general who is planning to kill Hitler.
Wilcox was reunited briefly on-screen with his former co-star Estrada in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, and then again in CHiPs 99. He also appeared in a cameo as "Officer Jon Baker" on the 2009 Christmas episode of 30 Rock.
In October 2010, Wilcox was accused of securities fraud by the SEC for manipulating the volume and price of penny stocks to illegally generate sales. On November 5, 2010, Wilcox plead guilty to securities fraud in Federal District Court in Florida. Authorities allege Wilcox tried to bribe undercover FBI agents thinking that they were pension fund managers. He faces up to five years in prison.
On January 28, 2011, the Associated Press reported that Wilcox was sentenced to three years probation plus 500 hours community service. US District Judge James I. Cohn cited evident and sincere remorse on the part of the plaintiff, calling the episode an "aberration in what has otherwise been an exemplary life".
