Biography

Born in Boston and raised in Vermont, Andrew Bowen is an artist whose passion for family, character-driven storytelling, science fiction and comedy has been the driving force behind his more than two decades of work in the film and television industry. Raised on Marvel Comics, pop culture of the 80s and 90's and the movies of Cameron, Spielberg and John Hughes - Andrew's enthusiastic work ethic, ability to transition from comedy to drama (both in-front and behind the camera) and his infectious love for cinema has produced a filmography that includes working with such entertainment legends as Gale Anne Hurd (Aliens, The Walking Dead), James Mangold (Ford VS Ferrari) and Lasse Hallström (What's Eating Gilbert Grape). Since his debut as a series regular on MAD TV (where his impressions of Keanu Reeves and Nic Cage are legendary), Andrew has worked steadily as an actor appearing in over 250 film and TV productions including Shameless, NCIS and over 150 national commercials. Andrew has lent his Voice Talents to brands including Jeep, Lexus, Navy and McDonald's and has been featured in some of the most successful video game titles of all time. Some notable acting credits include his work opposite Uma Thurman in the romantic short film The Gift, playing the repulsive Reggie in the horror anthology Holidays, as his multiple incarnations of Jack in the award-winning independent feature A Boy Called PO, and as the voice of Johnny Cage in WB's hit video game series Mortal Kombat. An accomplished screenwriter and director, Bowen recently received praise for his work behind the camera with his award winning comedic sci-fi, action-adventure short film The 716th. Written, produced, edited, production designed, starring and directed by Bowen, the VFX-heavy sci-fi short film landed the honor of world premiering at The 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. The short's hugely entertaining combination of comedy, characters and scope (a remarkable feat considering his budget of only $10K) and its overwhelmingly positive reception by audiences and critics led to its digital release on Amazon Prime Video. Bowen can be seen starring opposite Grant Harvey and Gia Mantegna in the hilarious comedy All For Nikki which premiered May 12th, 2020 on AppleTV. Bowen is working closely with literary agent Joe Fronk (Artistry), attorney Andrew S. Howard (Jackoway Austen Tyerman), producing partner Jon Alvord (VFX supervisor and producer on The 716th) to develop several film and TV projects including an expanded TV series based off The 716th, a comedic family adventure trilogy The Mcauliffe Equation and the psychological horror film/creature feature Scent.
