Born in Coventry, West Midlands, England in October 1965, actor Clive Owen is the quintessential handsome man. Put him in any movie looking dapper and sharp or get him rolling around in the mud and dirt and he'll still come up looking amazing.

Clive has not always been on the fast track when it comes to his acting career. Starting in 1988 through 2000, he appeared and sometimes starred in a number of British television series, TV movies and films. One of those notable films was "Croupier" (1997) where he played a troubled writer who begins to work in a casino in hopes of acquiring ins...

Spike Lee has parted ways with his agent after his new movie Miracle At St. Anna failed to top the box office.

The movie maker axed the William Morris agency after 15 years together and is now represented by Endeavor. Miracle At St. Anna has grossed $7.5 million to date - $163 million less than his 2006 thriller Inside Man.

Lee had yet to comment on the move as WENN went to press.

It's difficult to rank the films of Spike Lee in order of best to worst because, quite frankly, the auteur hasn't really made a horrible film. With nearly 20 feature films under his belt and more to come (his upcoming WWII film looks promising) Lee has of course put out his share of minor works, but even the projects that failed still had enough of the director's signature characteristics-fascinating characters, intriguing dialogue, and race relation undertones-and ultimately are merely cinematic experiments gone wrong. Consider this a list of best and minor works of one of America's finest...

Hey, isn’t that...? You know, that guy. The guy that always plays someone in the military. He was in, uh, Syriana, The Kingdom... Oh yeah! He was the father of the emo kid in American Beauty!

CENTURY CITY, Calif. - Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the courthouse… Fox Home Entertainment presents the dramatic first season of one of last fall's surprise television hits when Shark Season One comes to DVD October 2nd.

Maverick filmmaker Spike Lee insists he hasn't turned main stream despite finding box office success with last film Inside Man. The 2006 heist drama, which starred Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, was a massive success for Lee but he claims the film's triumph hasn't made future projects any easier to secure.

The director, who is currently working on pre-production on World War II drama Miracle At St. Anna, says, "My last feature film, Inside Man, was my most successful so far, and I was naive enough to think that meant I could go from there and make any film I wanted to make. But I w...

The volatile showdown between a determined cop and a perfectionist bank robber is sent spiraling toward disaster when a scheming power broker steps in to take control of the situation in Inside Man. This hair-raising film is directed by Spike Lee and stars Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. Also on DVD: Last Holiday and Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector.

Denzel Washington has slammed criticism of his home city New York, insisting it isn't as unfriendly as people believe. The 51-year-old star, whose new movie Inside Man is filmed in Manhattan, maintains the hustle and bustle of city life is misleading.

He says, "I love New York. To an outsider, it seems that a lot of New Yorkers are uptight and a little brusque but it is just the New York way. I remember coming from Los Angeles years ago and I was kind of famous and maybe I'd gotten kinda mellow, so I went into a deli and asked the guy behind the counter to add some extra pickles and I...

Denzel Washington had to play down his good looks for his latest part in the movie Inside Man because he had to be a convincing "regular guy." The Oscar-winner had to shave his head and pack on some extra weight to play a cop who negotiates with a master criminal played by Clive Owen.

He explains, "He's a regular guy. He's in over his head. He's been accused of stealing $140,000, his girlfriend wants to get married yesterday ... This is the biggest case he's ever had, so he's got a few issues."

The star insists his wife of 22-years, Pauletta, had no problems with her husband le...

He tells Hotdog mag...

Spike Lee fears he may have inadvertently created a horrific new video game by exploring the violent genre in his new film. Lee wanted to scare film fans into seeing just how violent video games have become in a scene in Inside Man, but he worries his tactics will simply prompt others to market his idea.

He says, "There's a scene where Clive Owen's character tells this young bank robbery hostage that he wants to talk to his father about playing violent video games. It was an opportunity to get in something real quick. I love the line that Clive came up with, where he says, 'I got to ...

Clive Owen insists he'd give up London and move to New York in a flash if it wasn't for his kids. The star admits he has fallen in love with the Big Apple and dreams of the day he'll be able to spend more time there. In the meantime, he has to make do with location shoots in the city - Owen has just completed filmmaker Spike Lee's latest movie Inside Man, in which he spent weeks in his favorite place on earth.

He says, "New York is the best city in the world and the capitol of the world, in my opinion. It's the only place I ever come where I could always stay longer. This was the fir...

Jodie Foster has no idea why Tom Cruise fired his longtime publicist Pat Kingsley last year because the actress thinks the PR mogul is one of the smartest women on the planet. Foster admits she partly based her steely-eyed business woman in new film Inside Man on Kingsley because she's the consummate professional.

Foster coos, "She's one of my favorite women. Here is a very, very strong woman who doesn't raise her voice; she doesn't need to raise her voice because she commands so much respect. The secrets, the vault that she is; if anything that's in her memory or in her head ever ca...
