MiniBio

The NBA center famously known as ‘Birdman’ made a big splash in 2009 when he signed a $26 million deal with the Denver Nuggets, marking a major milestone in his career. Birdman, whose real name is Chris Andersen, later went on to achieve one of the highest honors in basketball—winning an NBA championship with the Miami Heat in 2013. Before rising to fame, Birdman played just one season of college ball at Blinn College in Texas, showcasing early promise that would eventually lead him overseas. He began his professional journey in 1999, playing for Jiangsu Nangang in the Chinese Basketball League—a unique start that set the stage for his international appeal.

Birdman’s personal life has had its share of ups and downs; notably, his wedding to Brandy Newman was called off shortly before the planned date, drawing media attention. Born to Claus Anderson and Linda Holubec, Birdman overcame early challenges to become a fan favorite, known not only for his energetic play but also for his distinctive tattoos and dreadlocks. Throughout his career, Birdman remained a resilient figure, and his journey—from junior college standout to NBA champion—is a testament to perseverance. Whether you call him Birdman or Chris Andersen, his impact on the game is undeniable.

C. Thomas Howell
C. Thomas Howell
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.
