He looks to have aged quite a bit, but his whole overall demeanor seems to have aged as well. It seems affected, as if he's trying to become some grizzled old prospector from days of the California Gold Rush. This is not the Ponyboy I remember. Sad and strange.
Always liked him. I remember him fondly from the gone too soon series “kindred: the embraced”. He seems totally eccentric now and you’re right, It seems somehow affected.

He’s looked ancient for years, now even more so. He’s only 54, but could pass for 20 years older.
I don’t know why he’s using an affected voice now, too. He didn’t use to sound like that.
The Hitcher is one of my favourite thrillers. Loved it.

If he groomed the beard a bit I could kind of see him as a kris kristofferson.

He's only 2 years older than me but seeing him makes me feel old.

I think that's the look he's going for, or Jeff Bridges. Maybe he thinks it will give him enough of an edge to land some Academy Award winning role.

He was married to Rae Dawn Chong during the Soul Man days.

He's been using the same skin care products as Justine Bateman.

R20, "little" is right. Were his balls taped up during that scene? There should be some visual nuggets hanging down.

Well I know he had some sort of health issue, perhaps that contributed to ageing, I kinda think he’d have some interesting stories to tell. He worked with Franco Zeffirelli, I wonder how he found that experience.

Kyle Richards always got guys way out of her league. Tommy Howell (when she was underage and 2 noses ago, no less), Farrah’s handsome father and Mauricio.

He does great bit parts and character roles these days.
I do remember nothing made me harder than when Rutger Hauer grabbed Tommy's dick in "The Hitcher"

I'm 52 and could almost pass for his son. Meanwhile, a co-worker recently said to me, how old are you again? 55?

I swear every couple of years someone starts a thread bemoaning how old C. Thomas looks and every single time, we have to remind OP that the guy lost three feet of intestine and parts of his stomach due to a ruptured appendix. He's very lucky to be alive.

That accent is definitely affected. He is playing a role, probably for $ from some insane Outsiders stans.

r39 -losing three feet of intestine and parts of his stomach due to a ruptured appendix does not make a man look that old. Its hard living, sun, drugs, and alcohol. John Stamos is 5 years older and has an incredibly disgusting belly button and he looks better than Howell
