"Closer" actor Owen (5)

I believe the answer is:

clive

(Other definitions for clive that I've seen before include "Robert -, established British rule in India" , "Indian hero" , "Robert ---, victor of Plassey" , "Boy" , "English general who captured Calcutta" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
