That same year, Charlie Korsmo showed off his range again, stepping into the shoes of the clever and street-smart character simply known as ‘The Kid’ in Warren Beatty’s high-profile Dick Tracy, and honestly, he was perfectly cast. As if 1990 wasn’t enough, Charlie Korsmo kept the momentum going strong in 1991 with a string of roles alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He played Richard Dreyfuss’ introspective, death-obsessed son in What About Bob?, then took on the role of William Hurt’s young child in the heartfelt medical drama The Doctor. Not long after, audiences saw Charlie Korsmo once more, this time as Robin Williams’ son who gets swept up in the magical world of Dustin Hoffman’s Hook. It was quite the run for someone so young. But after making such an impressive impact in just a few short years, Charlie Korsmo eventually stepped away from the spotlight, choosing to leave acting behind and return to his roots in the Midwest.

Actor Movie

When he was just a teenager, this baby-faced leading man saw his career take off in a big way—thanks to his deeply moving performance as Ponyboy Curtis, the thoughtful greaser with a poet’s heart, in Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film *The Outsiders* (1983). Howell truly captured audiences’ attention back then, emerging as a standout among the young cast. For a brief moment, it seemed like Howell was on the fast track to lasting fame, gracing the covers of teen magazines and building a loyal fanbase. But as quickly as it began, that Tiger Beat spotlight started to fade after only a few years. Though he appeared in modest successes like *Red Dawn* (1984) and the comedy *Soul Man* (1986), Howell’s trajectory shifted. By the late '80s and into the 1990s, many of his roles landed straight to video or filled out TV movie slots—not exactly the kind of projects that reignite blockbuster momentum. Looking back at the all-star ensemble from *The Outsiders*, it's clear that Howell’s early promise was later eclipsed by the massive careers of his peers: Ralph Macchio soared with *The Karate Kid*, Emilio Estevez became a Brat Pack icon, and Tom Cruise? Well, *Top Gun* turned him into a global superstar almost overnight. Still, despite the changing tides of Hollywood, Howell never stopped working. He embraced his path with quiet determination, appearing in more than 50 films over the years. And while not all of them were critical darlings, Howell consistently brought sincerity and depth to his roles. Even when the scripts weren’t award-worthy, Howell held his ground as a dependable and heartfelt performer. So while the world may have moved on, Howell kept showing up—proving that a true actor’s journey isn’t always about the spotlight, but about staying true to the craft.
