Biography Born in Ashford, Surrey in 1968 as Nicholas Owen, to parents Diane and Sid Owen, he got into acting by accident after his older brother signed with a child model agency. As there were already several people with the name Nicholas Owen registered as actors with Equity, he needed to pick a new name. As a fan of James Bond he chose 'Bond' and so became Bond-Owen. He went to school at Abbotsford County Secondary school in Ashford (Surrey) from 1981-85 and then on to Spelthorne College until 1986, where he studied Photography.

His first film role was as Kevin in Confessions from a Holiday Camp (1977). Other film appearances included Little Boy in Rhubarb Rhubarb (1980), Tristram Fourmile in George and Mildred (1980), and Freddie in Lassiter (1984) with Tom Selleck.
