Jake Owen can now add ‘actor’ to his list. The country songster will start his acting debut next month in an upcoming film “The Best Friend.”
Starring Jason Segal, Dakota Johnson and Casey Affleck, the film’s synopsis reads, “After learning that his terminally ill wife has six months to live, a man welcomes the support of his best friend, who moves into their home to help out. His impact on the whole family is much greater than anyone could have imagined.”
Shooting for the movie will begin during February in Fairhope, Alabama.
The Florida native shared hid acting news on the recent BobbyCast podcast saying, “It’s exciting man, I’ve been kinda dipping my tail into lots of different things, but I was really surprised to get this role” Owen says. “And I’ve never been one of these guys to lose touch with what really brought me to the table, but as you said earlier, I really feel like I’m at a place in life where I can try and do a lot of different things and it’s about taking risks and putting yourself in that uncomfortable situation . . . and I’ve never acted before. I’ve never done that, and I kinda want to be pushed and see if I can do it.”
Stay tuned to find out when Jake’s acting role in “The Best Friend” will be released for fans to watch!

“Catch A Cold One” Lyrics
Colorado cans on the Tennessee water
Nothing really nibblin’ on the end of that bobber
Me and my old man’s old man just talkin’ it up
He said just cause you drop a line
Don’t mean the fish’ll bite
So if it don’t rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don’t crank, it ain’t from Detroit
You want a good song, play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain’t always done when the day’s done
You can’t always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
Yeah I didn’t get it then, but I sure do now
It’s kinda up to you how it all turns out
Life ain’t always pinewood docks and blue skies
Every time I reach down in the ice
I can still hear him from the other side
If it don’t rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don’t crank, it ain’t from Detroit
You want a good song, play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain’t always done when the day’s done
You can’t always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
Yeah you can always catch a cold one
Life ain’t always easy
Man ain’t that the truth
You can’t win ’em all
But even when you lose
You can still drink a few
If it don’t rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don’t crank, it ain’t from Detroit
You want a good song, play an old one
Any good boat is a sold one
If it don’t rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don’t crank, it ain’t from Detroit
You want a good song, play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain’t always done when the day’s done
You can’t always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
Yeah work ain’t always done when the day’s done
You can’t always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
