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 from 1980 to 1984 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'' with Tom Selleck (1984).〔(Bond-Owen on the Internet Movie Database )〕 His television roles included Tristram Fourmile in ''George and Mildred'' (1976–1979), ''Park Ranger'' with Richard Gibson (1979), Alan Shaw in ''Airline'' (1982), Peterkin in ''The Coral Island'' (1983), Charley Bates in ''Oliver Twist'' (1985), Graham in an episode of ''Dramarama'' (1986), First Boy in ''David Copperfield'' (1986), and Derek, a troubled teenager in an episode of the schools' series ''Starting Out'' (1986).
