He appears to be Tiger Woods in the season 7 episode "Frank's Pretty Woman." However, Dee recognizes him and calls him out as the one who pretended to be McNabb at the Eagles' tryouts.

Owens' employment in a Trader Joe's were among the daily Mail's most popular images of him in 2018. Owens complied with the "job shaming" description, eventually resigning due to the uninhibited interest. The tale led to producer Tyler Perry's decision to offer Owens a ten-episode role in The Haves and the Have Nots. Owens has also appeared in the films NCIS: New Orleans and supporting roles in Fatale and Hide and Seek.
He appeared in the film Impossible Monsters, in which he played a police detective. "I'm usually cast as parents, lawyers, physicians, and educators, so playing a detective was really fun," he said. He has since appeared in Power Book II: Ghost as a support actor.
Owens is the founder and artistic director of The Brooklyn Shakespeare Company. He has taught acting and Shakespeare at Columbia University, Yale, the Adult School of Montclair, and Pace University.
