C. Thomas Howell

When your film career starts out with E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and The Outsiders people expect big things to follow. C. Thomas Howell has made good on this promise by working steadily ever since those early 1980s milestones—and promoting literacy through screenings of the S.E. Hinton classic. He has scores of film and television credits, but Leonard and Jessie are most impressed with his work ethic. The quality that Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola noticed so long ago still fires his work, most recently in the features One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two , both now available on digital.
