is it just me or did this ruin CTHowells career

thanks pluk

if it were up to me I'd chose to speak like Humphrey Bogart, but....it isn't

Mostly obscure stuff and bit parts. He's got a career though, so I guess you can't say he's a failure.

I don't remember him ever being that successful, even at his peak. He got a couple of lead roles, including this one, in movies that didn't do that well. I don't think he was as well known as even actors like Andrew McCarthy or Anthony Michael Hall.

Nah, I wouldn't say this hurt his career that much.

He's said in interviews that both he and director Steve Miner felt blacklisted after the film came out. Nothing was said to him directly but he'd hear through the grapevine that a lot of Hollywood types were offended by the content. Steve Miner wouldn't direct for another 3 years, and that was Wonder Years episodes!

Howell got "A Tiger's Tale" with Ann-Margaret but it tanked, and he ended up doing a couple of French films. This was followed by the epitome of volleyball films to end all volleyball films, "Side Out". Since then he's been a direct-to-video king with a zillion credits. Had the weird distinction to star in the tv or video versions of two big-screen remakes, "Poseidon Adventure" and "War of the Worlds". And War...part 2!!

Well he is doing well in Southland on TNT.
