Ken Howard Biography

Ken was born Kenneth Joseph Howard Jr. in El Centro, California USA, on 28 March 1944. Ken spent most of his time as a kid on Long Island in Manhasset, New York, and was educated at Manhasset High School, where he got his famous nickname “The White Shadow”, actually for playing in the school’s basketball team and being the only white starter – he was 17 back then and almost 6 foot 6 inches (2m) tall. Ken was very good at basketball and received a number of offers of basketball scholarships, but chose to focus on his studies rather than on sport. He graduated from Amherst College where he was also playing basketball, and was a captain of the team.

Career

Career: Just like a lot of other famous actors, Ken started his career in theater – he got his first role on Broadway in “Promises”, and his next role was in “1776”, which turned to be his biggest success after his role in “The White Shadow” television show. He won his first award in 1970, a Tony Award for the Best Supporting Actor in “Child’s Play”. Ken had the main role in the TV series “Adam’s Rib” in 1973 and “The Manhunter” in 1974, before starting his third TV appearance in “The White Shadow” in 1978, in the role of a high school basketball coach called Ken Reeves. It seems that Ken was born to act, because he was doing so well and camera loved him. He starred in his first movie “Tell Me That You Love me” in 1970, and his movie career progressed steadily after that, in both comedy and drama such as “Independence”, “1776”, “Ulterior Motives” and many more. Something which younger people are unlikely to know is that he also starred in “Oscar” alongside Sylvester Stallone in 1991, and then again in “Rambo” in 2007. He also acted alongside the likes of Harrison Ford and Sandra Bullock.
