After playing the role of lonely 10-year-old Elliott in E.T., Thomas returned to his hometown of San Antonio, Texas, where he focused on school and took on film and TV roles sporadically. In the 1980s and '90s, he returned to acting, most notably cast in Legends of the Fall (1994), Gangs of New York (2002), and most recently as leading man Hank Wil...

After E.T., he focused his career primarily in theater, ...

A widow since 1995, Wallace was married to actor Christopher St...
He may have played the mysterious scientist/government agent "Keys" in E.T., but long before that in real life, Coyote was a prominent force of the counter-culture theatrical movement in San Francisco in the mid-1960s to 1970s. Since 1975, Coyote has been a practitioner of American Zen Buddhism and later became an ordained lay priest in Zen in the ...
His small role as Tyler — one of Elliott’s friends who helped E.T. evade authorities—was a precursor of big things to come for Howell. Many moviegoers remember him from a string of cinematic 80s hits like The Outsiders (1983), The Hitcher (1986), and Soul Man (1986). But besides being a film and TV actor, Howell has worked with Francis Ford Coppola...
Who knew that the ethereal blonde-haired girl whom Elliott had a crush on would turn out to be a Playboy Playmate a mere seven years later?
