Backstreet's Howie Eyes Film Role

Back - Index - Submissions - - What is RSS? Date: Apr 05, 2000 Source: MTV Submitted By: Gina Howie D., 20 feet tall... larger than life, indeed. The Backstreet Boys' Howie Dorough is in talks to return to the big screen in a new movie called "Bloom." In the coming-of-age film, Dorough is expected to play a town bully who picks on a young boy gearing up for his bar mitzvah while dealing with the societal and cultural ramifications of growing up Jewish. Although no one has been officially cast in the film (the project is still in the developmental stage) the movie is expected to start shooting later this year. Howie has flexed his acting muscles before, and not just in the video for "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." A much younger Howie made his big screen debut in director Ron Howard's 1989 Steve Martin comedy "Parenthood." -- Tina Johnson Comment on this item.
