C. Thomas Howell

Howell made a sort of splash in the sort of teen-oriented 80’s comedies that have dated really badly. Perceived as an overnight sensation, he had actually worked since his pre-school days on a variety of family oriented TV shows, usually as the 3rd or 4th kid in the family who had next to no lines.

Since his mid-80’s days as a sort of teen heartthrob, he has cannily kept a career rolling with a long series of small parts in big movies, and starring roles in TV films and direct-to-video stuff. Occasionally he’s managed to land a decent, if terribly obscure part, and that, combined with the mini-triumphs of his earliest film days combine to allow him to score reasonably highly on this list.
