Christopher Rob Bowen

Christopher Robert (Rob) Bowen is an American actor and producer. Bowen was born in the small town of Shawnee, Oklahoma to Lorna Mae Rosamond, an order controller, and Robert Larry Bowen, a construction worker. Bowen grew up in Bethel, a remote part of town, on 10 acres of land with his parents and older sister Kimberly. Bowen began his acting career as a child doing musical plays at his hometowns' "Shawnee Little Theater". As a teenager, he left acting behind to pursue sports, but returned to acting after rediscovering his love for the craft while performing in his senior class play at Bethel High School. Bowen attended Shawnee High School in Oklahoma until his Junior year. After poor conduct and poor grades, his parents transferred him to a much smaller Bethel High School where he graduated from in 1991. Religion was a big part of his upbringing and he regularly attended both Baptist and Church of Christ churches.

After graduating high school, Bowen left Oklahoma and headed for Dallas, Texas where he quickly landed an agent and went to work. He booked several small projects before securing a single episode role on "Walker, Texas Ranger" starring Chuck Norris. After several years in Dallas, Bowen headed for Los Angeles to pursue his new founded career. Upon arriving in L.A., Bowen went straight to work on several projects including a role opposite of Melissa Joan Hart on the hit television show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" in 1999. Shortly afterwards Bowen met his future wife and decided to start a family. He took a 10 year hiatus to raise his family before returning to the stage for the musical production of "Evita" in 2010. As a follow up in 2011, Bowen won the "Outstanding Male in a Supporting Role" for his stage performance as "Capt. Jack Ross" in the hard hitting play "A Few Good Men" at the High Street Arts Center in Moorpark, CA.

Bowen's most notable screen time can be seen as the bank manager forced to commit a crime with his family held hostage in the action flick from LionsGate: "Marauders" (2016). Bowen also plays an ex-military wanna-be hero named "Eric" opposite Jeffery Dean Morgan, in the LionsGate movie "Heist/Bus 657" (2015) which also stars Robert De Niro. In some other notable roles, Bowen has acted opposite Adrian Grenier in "Arsenal/Southern Fury" (2017), as well as Bruce Willis in the action/heist movie "Precious Cargo" (2016). Precious Cargo marks Bowen's second film with Bruce Willis, following a supporting role in the movie "Extraction" (2016) where Bowen plays a CIA agent named "Purvis". Behind the camera, Bowen has produced several projects and has several larger ones in development.
