Stay Gold - C. Thomas Howell's 50 Years In Hollywood

from Talk Is Jericho · host Chris Jericho

Actor C. Thomas Howell joins with incredible behind-the-scenes stories from The Outsiders! Hear how he landed the role of Ponyboy Curtis, the unique workshopping they did that served as auditions, what it was like working with Francis Ford Coppola, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, and Ralph Macchio, and how some of the most iconic moments in the film were improvised (like the famous “There’s a monster” moment outside the church)! Tommy also talks about appearing in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial at just 13-years-old, and why filming that movie was like stepping onto a top-secret movie set run by the C.I.A.! He reveals the unbelievable story about being cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future for two weeks before the role ultimately went to Michael J. Fox. And he discusses his brand-new action films One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two, shooting two movies simultaneously, playing the villain, and working alongside Ryan Phillippe. Plus, stories about Celebrity Cadabra, filming with Elizabeth Taylor, lessons learned from Rutger Hauer, the underrated film That Night, and the real secret to longevity in Hollywood! ONE MILE: CHAPTER ONE and ONE MILE: CHAPTER TWO are available on Digital now!
