Henry Thomas
Henry Thomas Poor Henry Thomas. Now a grown, handsome man and actor of merit, he's to this day either not known by name, or recognized simply as that little kid from one of the most famous movies ever made: E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, which is this year being re-released to celebrate its 20th anniversary. But life as indeed gone on for Thomas, who was an unknown when cast to play Elliot, the little boy who befriended an alien and saved the world. Read on to find out more about what he's done in the last couple of decades.

Actually, Thomas wasn't completely unknown in 1982, when E.T. was made. This Texas native has wanted to act since he was a very little boy, and when he was eight, he begged his mom to take him to an audition. He got the part, and made his debut in 1981 in Raggedy Man, where he played Sissy Spacek's son. He then ventured into television, for the show The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid, which was based on, of all things, a Coke commercial. Fol
