Ride & Recent Roles That Prove C. Thomas Howell’s Wild Versatility
Rideis an exciting continuation of the career of‘80s film star C. Thomas Howell, whose fame in that decade didn’t quite translate to massive success in the decades after. Still, Howell has worked consistently, and a few recent roles point to the impressive versatility of the actor.Rideitself is a prime example, with Howell’s character John Hawkins a deeply flawed man who has a strained relationship with his own son. InRide, Howell’s portrayal of a desperate father willing to do anything to save his daughter’s life looks to be a strong reminder of the actor’s dramatic prowess.
Another upcoming dramatic project of Howell’s is the upcoming presidential biopic,Reagan.Reaganstars Dennis Quaidas the titular president, and Howell joins the cast as Reagan’s Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. In this role, Howell will likely show his ability to portray real-life characters while finding his own unique way to relate to their personalities. In an interview withForbes, Howell stated,“I carry a pocket knife everywhere I go, and that’s how I looked at Caspar. He was Reagan’s pocket knife.”With a clear gift for playing rough-around-the-edges characters, Howell seems perfectly fit to execute this interpretation of Weinberger.
The dramatic weight of those other two projects makes Howell’s turn as the drug-loving bomb defuser Hagerty in Netflix’sObliterated.Created byCobra Kaishowrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg,Obliteratedsees Howell baring it all (literally) as part of a special forces unit who, after celebrating what they believe to be the aversion of a crisis, find themselves hungover and having to save Las Vegas from a nuclear bomb. Howell is unhinged and hilarious in the series which, in combination with projects likeRideandReagan, allow audiences to see the wide range of the actor’s considerable talents.
Ridewill be available to watch in select theaters and on demand on June 14.
