About

Owen Llewelyn

Owen Llewelyn is a British actor who is currently making waves in the horror and indie film industry. His serial-killer villain, The R.I.P Man, joins the short list of iconic horror characters, which includes Michael Myers from Halloween (played by Nick Castle), Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (played by Gunnar Hansen), and Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street (played by Robert Englund).

The R.I.P Man (Rest In Pain) follows the story of a serial killer with a rare oral condition called Anodontia (no teeth), who begins to target young adults and removes a single tooth from each victim. Can a family's kept secret unfold the truth and help prevent the murders from continuing?

Llewelyn has been professionally acting for the past 17 years on stage and screen. His screen work includes credits in films and series such as The R.I.P. Man (2025), Ghoul Squad (2025), and Can’t Go Home Again (2021), as well as earlier roles in projects such as Hot Chicks (a 2020 web series) and Stabbed Souls (a feature film).

His portrayal of the menacing lead, Alden Pick, in the critically acclaimed 2025 horror-thriller, The R.I.P. Man, has garnered substantial attention. He won Best Actor at the 2025 Haunted House FearFest for his performance.

He will reprise his role as Alden Pick in the upcoming film R.I.P Man 2, which is currently in production.

The R.I.P Man is directed by Jamie Langlands and written and produced by Rhys Thompson.
