The 'E.T' Cast: Where Are They Now?
He was a young boy in 1982.Henry Thomas is 43 years old.What does he look like?
Henry Thomas is 43 years old and he still has mixed feelings about the role that made him famous.
For the first six months after E.T., it was like that.I was in a movie theater.I would get mobbed.Being approached by adults all the time freaked me out, I was a shy kid.
After the success of the film, Thomas took a break from acting, but he came back in films such as Gangs of New York.
He knows he will never be known for anything other than E.T., even though he has been playing T.J. Karsten in TV's Betrayal.
"I can guarantee almost every day I get someone going, 'Hey, you're the guy from E.T.', usually followed by 'What are you doing now?'"
