“If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book.”

English actor

Clive Owen is an English actor. He first came to notice in the United Kingdom with the lead role in the ITV series Chancer, which ran from 1990 to 1991. His early film work, including Close My Eyes, brought him critical praise, and Croupier later made him known to a wider international audience.
