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.
