Owen was born in Royal Oak, Michigan.[2] He began acting as early as age ten, with his first recorded film credit in Le peloton d'exécution (1991), a French-Canadian film. After that, he appeared in numerous films of the 1990s, like Major Payne, Black Sheep, Can't Hardly Wait, She's All That, October Sky and the 1995 film Angus, the first of five films with longtime friend and collaborator Charlie Talbert.
In 1999, Owen appeared in the hit comedy film American Pie as Chuck Sherman, a teenager that boasts himself of being a "ladies man" and goes by "The Sherminator". Owen reprised his role in all of the sequels of the American Pie franchise, including one of the straight-to-DVD spin-offs called American Pie Presents: Band Camp. Aside from Eugene Levy, he is the only actor from the theatrical features to appear in the American Pie Presentsdirect-to-video spin-off series.
In 2014, a New York Daily News article reported Owen was working as a waiter at a sushi restaurant in Santa Monica, California. In the article, Owen says that "life doesn’t always go the way you planned. I love acting and this job lets me stay in the fight."[3] Since that article was published, Owen has appeared in several films, including a supporting role in The Last Sharknado: It's About Time, as well as a guest spot on Criminal Minds.
