How to get an AbstractClientPlayer for all players?

Question

I'm working on an minecraft forge mod (1.8.8). I have en custom (ownable) entity and want to set its texture to the texture of its owner, because it's a mini version of the owner.

I found out that i can get the texture of players with AbstractClientPlayer#getLocationSkin(), but i can't figure out how to access either EntityOtherPlayerMP or EntityPlayerSP, which implement AbstractClientPlayer, in my custom renderer. Is there a way to get all AbstractClientPlayer, regardless of SP or MP? I can access the GameProfile and i have the EntityPlayer of the owner.

Ok, the solution is fairly simple: I was able to simply cast the EntityPlayer to an AbstractClientPlayer! I got the EntityPlayer with my EntityLiving, because its an ownable creature:

@Override
protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(EntityLiving entity) {
    IEntityOwnable creature = (IEntityOwnable) entity;
    AbstractClientPlayer player = (AbstractClientPlayer) creature.getOwner();
    return player.getLocationSkin();
}
