Chancer, Series 1
Clive Owen's Early Years

WHY THIS You know that kick you get flipping through someone's yearbook and seeing how skinny they were way back when, or how silly their hair looked? This DVD set is just like that — but for Clive Owen. The British heartthrob was in his 20s when he made this cult BBC TV series, which followed charming, ruthless young businessman Stephen Crane as he parceled off pieces of his soul in pursuit of the almighty pound sterling. Thin, angular, hair-too-short: Watching Owen in Chancer is like looking at a foal you just know is gonna be a thoroughbred.
