Not to be confused with David Bowie.

David Bowe is an often seen but rarely recognized character actor in American movies and television. His best known role^{[citation needed]} is that of "Weird Al" Yankovic's sidekick, Bob, in 1989's UHF. His other film credits include A Few Good Men (1992), Made in America (1993), starring Whoopi Goldberg), and The Rock (1996).

Bowe also had a recurring role on the short-lived television series Life... and Stuff, which aired in 1997 and co-starred Andrea Martin.

On the DVD audio commentary for the film The 40 Year Old Virgin that film's director Judd Apatow credits Bowe as the inspiration for the film's Boner Jams 03 joke, saying that during the making of Heavyweights (on which Apatow served as a writer and Bowe portrayed a minor antagonist role) Bowe had displayed a mix tape he had compiled of his favorite scenes from various pornographic films.
