My god. C. Thomas Howell appearing in something that's not straight to video horse**** or a SyFy channel original, alongside greats like Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bill Pullman, and Richard Jenkins?
About time his Agent got their head out of their ass. Now we just need for Eric Roberts, Franco Nero, Bruce Davison or Caspar Van Dien to star in a deep emotional psychological thriller.
C. Thomas Howell is not a bad actor. He played a supporting role in Southland that was a great show (and cast) through 2013. He id doing quite well with the consideration that he made the cut from child to adult actor. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299368/
And also Doug McKeon, a talented teen actor who fell to the wayside, will be playing the Vice President. This should be interesting.
shareWalter and Hubert Humphrey were pivotal roles in "All the Way". I wonder if Howell and McKeon will therefore have significant screen-time in this.

Tommy is one of the kindest, hardest working actors I have ever worked with(Worked with him on this and several other films) PLEASE DON'T think just because he does some smaller films he doesn't care about the work..HE LOVES TO WORK! Nothing wrong with that!!!!!
shareHe was utterly, freaking amazing as the bad guy The Reaper in several Criminal Minds episodes. Couldn't take your eyes off him.
shareNot everyone makes the best career choices after they've achieved relative stardom (thinking Jean Claude-Van Damme here)especially if they've achieved it as a young person.
True enough that Casper Van Dien kind of fell of the map after Starship Troopers, but I really enjoyed C. Thomas Howell as Thomas D. Chamberlain in both Gettysburg & it's later sequel Gods & Generals both based on books by Michael Shaara and featuring star studded casts and superb musical scores.
I'm not sure Jenifer Jason Leigh is really that huge of an actress. I can't think of much I've seen her in since Backdraft in the 1990's.
My oddest thought was Woody Harrelson as LBJ. That I've got to see. He is a long time favorite ever since his idiot days on Cheers and I bet he's going to do a great job, just thought he was an odd choice for the role. Have to wait and see I suppose.
