C. Thomas Howell Shares Hollywood Stories: From Liz Taylor To Tom Cruise To Spielberg | toofab

[@Itsjosephortega]

I met this man and I’m an actor as well, asked him for advice and went into so much depth and took his time with me. What a great man, so happy for all his success.

[@sifugurusensei]

What. Advice did he give you?

He was also the only kid who did his own bike stunts in E.T. Everyone else had stunt doubles, except him, because his dad was in that industry- his dad taught him everything he needed to know. This fun fact just makes me appreciate C. Thomas Howell as an actor even more- seriously underrated 😩

The Tom cruise of ET 😂

[@davidmartin1949]

Great to see someone who has come out of Hollywood not screwed up in the head and has respectability for himself and others !

[@Joanna-u5c]

I don't think people realize just how iconic C Thomas Howell is. I mean i always knew it, but today i learned he has a film with Elozabeth Taylor, then i watched this interview and was mind blown at his stories about his father!!!! Now that is how you raise on of the finest actors of modern day Hollywood!!!!

[@thehotguy123idk4]

Patrick swayze is a legend and we always love him🥺

[@Boygonebad]

Everyone of the outsiders cast are tremendous actors

[@Colspex]

I hope they put him in "Cobra Kai" as a car buying customer going "uh no Daniel, you are not cutting my deal. No sir!"

[@Gl6619]

He’s really become like a character in a western flick….he even kind of has that cowboy accent, it’s like he knows it and embraces it I actually dig that hat

[@dillonmertens2222]

He signed my outsiders book at a golf tournament in Tahoe! Signed it stay gold ponyboy. I said thank you Mr Howell. And he put his fist in the air and said I’m a greaser man. Awesome guy!!!

[@toddsmitts]

He looks like he's about to say "GOLD! I found the gold!"

He and I used to live in the same town. I ran into him in a Japanese restaurant 15 years ago. He was still the pony boy back then. If he shaves his facial hair and put some facial creams he will look his age, I am sure.

Great character. The Outsiders will always be in my heart. It transcends generations and will continue to do so. My son beautiful is like Pony Boy. Soulful, wistful and true. Stay Gold folks.x

I will always think of C. Thomas Howell as Lt. Tom Chamberlain in Gettysburg + Gods and Generals - maybe it was the prominent Victorian moustache or maybe it's because I haven't really seen his other films but that is always how I picture him.

[@dadll1090]

Tommy Howell is a great actor!

[@scotthimrod347]

Dude was awesome in the Hitcher..

[@EphemeralProductions]

What a funny and awesome story about Jimmy Dean! lol

[@ideastudioscott]

For that role, C Thomas would have been good for Back to the Future. He would have been better than Stoltz. But I must say that for that role, Michael J Fox just fit it best.

[@sifugurusensei]

Yeah. Michael J. Fox just had that comedic timing and expression.

Agreed. I think part of it has to do with soul man, if we’re being fully honest. Is it fair, no. But that movie was destined to crash and burn

[@503zzach]

OMG! Me and my cousin used to have such a huge a crush on C. Thomas Howell back in the 80s and 90s. He used to look so innocent, cute and hot back in the day. I love him from The Outsiders, The Hitcher movies, etc. I love all the outsiders actors. All the cast were are good looking. The "outsider" is classic and timeless that you can watch all the time and not get sick of it. I have to admit (C. Thomas Howell ) aged horribly for only being 54. He looks super old like over 75-80 years of ages in here.

[@jackiegonzales6610]

He had a lot of health problems after the 80’s and 90’s and it nearly killed him al that can make you look a lot older than you are so maybe stop judging

[@503zzach]

@@jackiegonzales6610 Oh well, I'm just speaking my truth. No hate, No shade and No judging here. I'm 46 but every person that I meet always shock and told me that I looks in my early 20s when I reveal my real ages. I really wish (C. Thomas Howell ) looks super young like me.

Has anyone who’s complaining about his facial hair considered he might have grew it for a ROLE? he might eventually shave it.

[@LoneWolf-cv6pl]

Where did the southern accent come from? He's from vanuys ca lol

[@spookym123]

It's not what I would call a Southern accent. It's more of a rural/cowboy accent. I went to school in San Diego in the 1970s and a lot of guys had accents like this even though they were local. His childhood was spent around cowboys and his father, a rodeo performer. Maybe some of them had the accent.
