Owen Smith, comedian/actor, was born in Nassau, Bahamas, and raised in the Washington DC area. Smith's unique ability to look at this rough society and still paint a clean picture has audiences gasping for air all over the country!
Destined for success and longevity, this energetic 1995 Notre Dame graduate has already logged appearances on NBC's "Friday Night," BET's "Comic View," HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," and the hit ABC sitcom "Cupid." Clearly one of the hottest young comics today, this Island native's smooth style blends pure creativity with class and unparalleled genius.
