Alexander Owen

Alexander Owen, a Brit through and through, has his fingerprints all over the UK comedy scene. If you’ve ever wandered into the West End, you might’ve caught ‘The Comeback’—yeah, that’s him, front and center, co-creating the whole thing and starring in it too. Busy guy. And he’s not slowing down, either. He’s got his name on the upcoming Amazon MGM feature ‘Deep Cover’ (hitting sometime in 2025), not just writing but co-writing. The dude’s everywhere. You’ve probably glimpsed him on the small screen too. He popped up in ‘Dreaming Whilst Black’—that’s the BBC/Showtime collab from 2023—playing his usual sharp, slightly off-beat characters. Or maybe you remember him from Netflix’s ‘1899’, the trippy historical mystery that got everyone talking in 2022. And honestly, who missed ‘A Very Royal Scandal’ in 2024? He was right there, adding his flavor to Amazon Prime’s lineup. But let’s not gloss over ‘The Pin’. Owen’s one half of that comedy double-act, with Ben Ashenden riding shotgun. These guys got themselves a nod for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Southbank Awards, which is no small thing—those judges don’t mess around. Whether he’s writing, acting, or cooking up something wild with his partner-in-crime, Owen’s out here making British comedy less predictable and way more fun. The industry’s watching, and honestly, you probably should be too.
