Connection
Chris Owens is a Actor Canadien born on 7 september 1961 at Toronto (Canada)
Christopher Bradley "Chris" Owens (born 7 September 1961) is a Canadian actor.
Owens was born in Toronto, the son of Jeannette, a jazz singer, and Garry Owens, a jazz drummer.
Owens has performed in many feature films, often in minor roles, including appearances in Cocktail and The Recruit. However, he is best known for his performances on the television series The X-Files. Owens initially guest starred as the younger version of William B. Davis's character, the Cigarette Smoking Man, in a 1996 episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man". He returned in 1997 in the same role in an episode called "Demons". Later that year, he played the Frankenstein-esque Great Mutato in a surreal episode called "The Post-Modern Prometheus".
In 1998, Owens was cast as special agent Jeffrey Spender, son of the Cigarette Smoking Man and alien abductee Cassandra Spender (Veronica Cartwright). Spender was credited as 'Also Starring' but only appeared in eight episodes, spread across the show's fifth and sixth seasons, before his character died at the hand of his father. Owens returned in a 2002 episode called "William", playing a hideously disfigured Jeffrey Spender who had survived the "murder". He appeared a few episodes later in "The Truth", the series finale.
He has been nominated for numerous awards, including a 2002 Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for The Uncles.
Owens a joué dans plusieurs longs métrages, souvent des rôles mineurs, comme dans Cocktail et La Recrue. Toutefois, il reste principalement connu pour ses rôles dans la série télévisée X-Files. Il incarne tout d'abord le personnage, en plus jeune, de l'homme à la cigarette, normalement interprété par William B. Davis, dans l'épisode L'Homme à la cigarette, en 1996. Il reprend un an plus tard le même rôle dans l'épisode Démons. Par la suite, il incarne le « Grand Mutato » dans l'épisode surréaliste Prométhée post-moderne.
Finalement, en 1998, Chris Owens obtient un rôle récurrent dans la série en étant recruté pour incarner l'agent spécial du FBI Jeffrey Spender, fils de l'homme à la cigarette et de Cassandra Spender (une femme fréquemment enlevée par les extraterrestres). Bien que crédité parmi les acteurs récurrents, il n'apparaîtra finalement que dans huit épisodes, à cheval sur les cinquième et sixième saison. Son père, insatisfait de son travail, lui tire dessus, et il est présumé mort jusqu'à son retour, au cours de la neuvième saison, dans les épisodes William et La vérité est ici (le dernier de la série), où il apparaît affreusement défiguré à la suite d'horribles expériences menées sur ordre de son père.
Il est nommé pour de nombreux prix, notamment en 2002 pour The Uncles.

Predatory lenders Simone and Eddie awaken on either side of a room split by a cage containing a scale, wearing head harnesses with screws poised to pierce their temples. They learn via videotape that the one who sets more flesh weight on their tray will survive. Eddie cuts fat from his torso, but Simone chops off her arm, which tilts the scale in her favor; the timer expires, and Eddie is killed by the screws. While he reviews the game's footage, Detective Lt. Mark Hoffman is called to the scene by FBI Agent Dan Erickson, who found Agent Peter Strahm's fingerprints around the room. Also present is Agent Lindsey Perez, whose survival was covered up by Erickson for her protection. They learn from Dr. Adam Heffner, who performed all of the autopsies for the Jigsaw case, that the knife used to cut the jigsaw piece from Eddie's flesh was only used on Seth Baxter before then. The agents intend to find the Baxter videotape to prove Strahm's involvement.
