Gary Owens July 16, 2009

Owen can be seen as “Zach” the barber on Tyler Perry’s extremely successful HOUSE OF PAYNE, which just got picked up for an additional 46 episodes. Perry met Owen on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (on which Owen is a regular), immediately knew he wanted to work with him, and wrote him into the show. Additionally, Owen has been seen in such films as COLLEGE, LITTLE MAN with the Wayans Brothers, REBOUND, and DADDY DAY CARE with Eddie Murphy. In July of 1997 he auditioned for BET's COMICVIEW. Two appearances on the multi-cultural comedy showcase won him his own one-hour "Grandstand" show. At the end of the season he was selected from the year’s four "Grandstanders" to be the host. Not only is Owen the only white man to have ever hosted COMICVIEW, but he is the only white on-air personality the network has ever had. Owen has produced two stand-up DVDs: BREAKIN’ OUT THE PARK, which is now available nationwide and URBAN LEGEND. He can also be seen next month on MARTIN LAWRENCE PRESENTS: 1ST AMENDMENT STAND-UP on STARZ.
