As a youngster he was a big troublemaker at school and was expelled for stealing a teacher’s notebook. Growing up as the middle child with one elder and one younger brother, Owen was always on the lookout for some mischief that would set him apart from his brothers and get him his parents’ attention. But once he entered the world of films the loving brother took along both his siblings with him to Hollywood. With his distinctive crooked nose, smooth comedic style and deadpan humour he soon found himself an unlikely candidate for comedy films like ‘The Cable Guy’. Soon he was acting in a number of commercially successful films, many of which he also co-wrote.
