MiniBio

He’s an American actor who really started making waves in 2022 with standout roles in two feature films—They/Them, which starred Kevin Bacon and Anna Chlumsky, and Swallowed, where he shared the screen with Jena Malone. That early momentum set the stage for even bigger things, and by 2024, he had landed a major role as Erik Menendez in the highly anticipated Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. It’s safe to say his career has been on a steady rise, but before all the spotlight, he was already building a foundation in the industry as a model. He also took his craft seriously, earning a BFA in Acting from the prestigious Pace School of Performing Arts in New York City.

Interestingly, he comes from a family deeply rooted in Hollywood. His great-grandfather was Howard W. Koch, a well-known producer behind classic comedies like Airplane! and The Odd Couple. And continuing the legacy, his grandfather is Hawk Koch, who produced hits such as Wayne’s World, starring Mike Myers, and the critically acclaimed Primal Fear, featuring Edward Norton and Richard Gere. So while he’s certainly making a name for himself, there’s no denying that storytelling and showbiz run in his blood. With each new project, he seems to be carving out a unique path—honoring his heritage while stepping boldly into his own spotlight.

Trivia

He actually took a horror class with James Franco over at Studio 4, which was definitely a unique experience. Since then, he’s built up quite an impressive resume—now boasting more than 15 acting credits as his career continues to grow. James Franco’s influence might’ve helped shape his path, but it’s clear he’s been making strong moves on his own. With each new role, he adds another solid credit to his name, steadily building momentum in the industry. James Franco may have been a mentor early on, but now he’s carving out his own space in the world of acting.

Fans love how consistent and real he feels, like he’s just one of us having a good time online. Before all the fame and viral moments, though, he was building his presence from the ground up. He actually launched his third—and finally successful—TikTok account back in June 2020, which turned out to be the sweet spot for his creative voice. And before TikTok even entered the picture, he was deep into the streaming scene, particularly known for his Fortnite gameplay on Twitch. That early experience definitely helped shape his on-camera energy and timing. Oh, and fun fact: he was born in Virginia, adding that Southern flavor to his charm. His mom always jokes about it—she brought him into the world on a Friday, which he likes to say set the tone for his weekend-vibes personality. All in all, his journey is pretty inspiring, and his name continues to pop up more and more as he grows his digital footprint.

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.
