As Clay Verris, he’s at the center of the cloning dilemma and shares most of his scenes with either one of Will Smith’s characters. Prior to the film’s release on October 11th, Owen spoke to Screen Rant about his approach to playing the so-called bad guy and the honor of working with a costar of Smith’s caliber....
