The Brightest Stars Of The ’80s – Would You Recognize Them Today?
C. Thomas Howell – Director, Producer
C. Thomas Howell is an ex-child rodeo star. He started his acting career in the epic teen movie The Outsiders that was released in 1983. There, he showed us great acting talent, and Hollywood wanted to see more of him. He has held popular roles including those in the movies Grandview U.S.A. and Red Dawn. He recently decided to try directing films, and he has worked with the great filmmaker, Francis Ford Coppola, many times. Though he studied at the National Conservatory Drama Arts, maybe he should try learning other courses as well (like perhaps online law classes), particularly since he has expanded his career horizon outside acting.
