In case you think you have seen comedian Gary Owen before, let us help you out; you have. In case you were thinking that maybe you may have seen him in a film; you have. In case you were thinking that you have seen him on a comedy show; you have. After being in the comedy game since the 90’s its pretty hard to say that you haven’t seen Owen. From hosting the old Comic View on BET to making small appearances in such films like Little Man, Owen has hit every stage and been on every comedy show made for television. The question would then be what took him so long to become a comedy superstar?
Well, all we can say is that there is no time table on who has next and who will reach superstar status, but we can say that after Owen has done so many pilots for television and somany films, it looks like this is finally his turn with this new filmand new Comedy Special.
With a new starring role in the new film Think Like A Man and a new comedy special produced by Codeblack Entertainment titled True Story about to drop it looks like the ball is now in his court- and from the looks of it, it looks like Owen is about to slamdunk!
We got a chance to sit down with Owen and discuss his journey to Hollywood and his comedy career and how he fell into acting. Here is an excerpt of the conversation;
Humor Mill: Humor Mill Magazine sitting down with actor and comedian Gary Owen. Gary how are you?
Gary Owen: I like the sound of that: actor AND comedian.
Humor Mill: We had to say actor and comedian because you have been in a lot of films. A lot of people see you doing stand up all across the country and have been for years, but tell us how did you get your start in the acting side of things?
Gary Owen: I think it’s a natural progression. You do stand up and hopefully somebody sees you and they put you in something, cause I have been lucky enough that the movies I have been in… I did audition for a few, but the last couple were just offered.
HM: We saw you in Little Man, and you had a real brief cameo and now you are in another upcoming film. Can you tell us about that film?
GO: I am in a movie called Think Like A Man, and its going to be out March 9th (ED. Note- it was pushed back to April 19th) and its got Michael Ealy, Romany Malco, Terrance J, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Hart, Tariji Henson, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, La La…basically 86% black
