MichiganChris Owen (born September 25, 1980) is an American actor. He is best known for his role in the American Pie movies as Chuck Sherman (self-styled as "The Sherminator"). He reprised this role in American Pie 2, American Pie: Band Camp and American Reunion. Aside from Eugene Levy, he is the only other actor from the theatrical trilogy to appear in any of the spin-off films.
Life and career
Owen was born in Michigan and moved to California with his family as a young child. He has had roles in many popular films such as Major Payne, Angus, Can't Hardly Wait, Black Sheep, She's All That and Ready to Rumble.
He has also been a cast member in National Lampoon's early 2000s college-themed comedies, with roles of varying significance in Van Wilder, Dorm Daze 1 & 2, and Gold Diggers. In addition to the series of National Lampoon's college comedies, Owen also starred in the college film Going Greek as the antagonist Davis. This is in direct contrast to the roles he played in the American Pie movies as he was the one never being picked on. Similarly, Owen played a bully in She's All That as well as a bully named Scut Farcus in My Summer Story, sequel of A Christmas Story. By contrast, in most movies, Owen tends to be the target of bullying. He was picked on in the American Pie movies and was the target of bullying in Major Payne, October Sky, and in Angus. He also played a role in which he had fallen in love with a beautiful, sexy girl named Balmers maw, played by Madi Pendleton. He has also starred in October Sky, as well as a small part in Hildalgo as "First Soldier".
He plays a meathead in The Life of Lucky Cucumber along with long time friend Charlie Talbert who played Angus, and has recently played a character named Norm in The Mist. He also played the son of the Frogman (and turned out to be the true Frogman himself) in an episode of Picket Fences.
Owen also stars as Jordan in Something Corporate's music video "If You C Jordan".
