Owen Smith is a comedian and writer—and stars in Chris Rock’s Everybody Hates Chris, which airs on the CW Sundays at 8PM/7PM Central, and BET’s BUFU.

Released on March 7, 2008 in theatres worldwide, the epic 10,000 BC—directed by Roland Emmerich—revolves around a mammoth hunter determined to rescue his captured love by leading a small group of hunters on a search through unexplored territories. Steiger’s films have starred a multitude of respected and award-winning actors including Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy, Sally Field, Whoopie Goldberg, Mike Myers, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Klein, Robert Downey Jr., Teri Hatcher, and Garry Marshall.
