Biography
Born on the 7th of
December, 1966; Christopher Thomas Howell, or commonly known as C.
Thomas Howell, is a natural actor with remarkable talent. With an
infinite list of filmography in all different types (acting, writing and
directing), Howell has definitely made his mark on the world.
Christopher had an
early introduction to show business. At the tender age of four, he made
his debut as a keen actor on television series' "The Little
People". Although quite hard to believe, he never had much of an
interest in acting, but he did indeed have a passion for pursuing the
rodeo circuit. Howell travelled extensively with a rodeo, and was named
the California Junior Rodeo Association’s
All Around Junior Boy’s Champion for 1980 and 1981.
Luckily for us, he
decided to go back to show business, which then won him a regular role
on television series' "Two Marriages". Following this role, he
was cast in the film, "E.T. - Extra Terrestrial", before
scoring himself a role in the action movie, "The Outsiders",
as Ponyboy Curtis. The film, originally written as a book, focused on
the streets of Tulsa, USA and its gang violence. "The
Outsiders" skyrocketed C. Thomas Howell to fame as he played the
role of tough, yet sensitive Ponyboy Curtis. While playing this role,
Howell was lucky enough to score the role alongside current Hollywood
stars' Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible 1 & 2) , Rob Lowe (TV- The
West Wing) and Matt Dillion (There's Something About Mary).
In the next fifteen
years or so, he scored a never-ending list of roles. These included the
thriller, "The Hitcher", "Soul Man", "Grandview
USA", "Red Dawn", "A Tiger's Tale",
"Kid", "Return of The Musketeers", "Side
Out", "That Night", "Acting On Impulse",
"Payback", "Dangerous Indiscretion", "Suspect
Device" and "Last Lives". In 1986 C. Thomas Howell was
listed as one of twelve "Promising New Actors of 1986" in John
Willis' Screen World, Vol. 38, when he had been at only 20 years of age.
In
the
1990's, CT continued to have an impact on the world with his
exhilarating performances in Side
Out, Kid, That Night, Breaking the Rules, Suspect Device, Shameless,
Sleeping Dogs, and Fatal Affair. Besides all his many roles on the big
screen, he still had time to star in TV series such as "Kindred:
The Embraced", as well the critically acclaimed mini-series
"Gettysburg".
C.
Thomas Howell has seemed to have proved to the world that he is a man of
all abilities. However, his talents don't stop there. Christopger had
directed the
films The Big Fall, Pure Danger, and Hourglass. In addition, he co-wrote
Hourglass with longtime friend Darren Dalton.
Although
clearing having much luck with acting, he has been married twice, to
former co-stars' Lori
Loughlin ("Secret Admirer") and Rae Dawn Chong ("Soul
Man"). Fortunately, he is now married to Sylvia, his third wife,
with whom he shares a daughter named Isabelle.
Currently
residing in Los Angeles, California (USA) with his wife and three
children, his most recent films include, "The Prince and the
Surfer", "Enemy Action", and the award winning
independent film, "The Glass Jar".
