Derailed costar Clive Owen

by Erin

Clive Owen

Jen has said that the opportunity to work with Clive Owen was a major factor in her decision to play Lucinda in Derailed, and to hear Jen tell it, he did not disappoint:

“Of course, Clive Owen didn’t hurt and he truly is as wonderful a person as he is an actor.”

Born in 1964 in Coventry, England, Clive Owen is a distinguished actor on both stage and screen. Much like Jen, he discovered his passion for acting at a young age, and went on to pursue formal training, at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in Clive’s case. A veteran of the Young Vic Theatre Company, he has made his mark in features such as Croupier, Gosford Park, Closer (for which he was Oscar-nominated), and most recently Children of Men (for more on this film see Pop Buzz UK). He is married to actress Sarah-Jane Fenton, with whom he has two daughters.

Derailed

In Derailed, Clive plays Charles Schine, an advertising executive who meets Jen’s Lucinda on the train. Despite their respective marriages, their lust for one another quickly surfaces, and if you don’t know how the story proceeds from there, that can be very easily remedied by seeing it (or reading the novel by James Siegel). Clive was an ideal choice for the role; he gave Charles a unique combination of vulnerability and intelligence that was essential for the progression and eventual outcome of the story.
