Tom Owen Career

Tom began his protracted acting career after graduating from college. He was able to get his first work as an assistant stage manager at Leatherhead Theatre in Surrey because of his father.

He obtained a comparable position at the Westminster Theatre a year later.

After four years in the television industry, he returned to Sidmouth Repertory Theatre in Devon, where he worked and directed.

After his father, Bill Owen, was known for playing Compo Simmonite before passing away in 1999, Tom’s debut on the show continued a family tradition. Tom appeared as his long-lost son.

With Michael York in Great Expectations, David Hemmings in Unman, Wittering, and Zigo, and Kirk Douglas in the television movie Queenie, Owen made several appearances.

He has also appeared on The Bill, The Onedin Line, and Upstairs Downstairs on television. He starred in the 2018 motion picture The Bromley Boys as well.

With his ex-wife Mary Bernadette Therese Moylan, whom he wed in 1978, Tom has two sons: James and William.

In 2010, he commented, “It was a really weird experience, losing a parent, and then being cast as his fictional son,” in an interview with MailOnline. But I simply ignored my emotions. It was a fantastic job that paid well.

Tom was never close to his “talented but odd” father, according to his own admission.

Tom remarked, “I know this will sound strange. But in retrospect, it appears that we were just two men who happened to be father and son. Between us, there was no true connection. Ngnews247.com
