Kanin Howell biography
Growing up the son of a three-time Emmy-nominated stunt coordinator, Kanin Howell was exposed to the magic of movie-making at an early age. It was no surprise that he followed in his father Norman's footsteps, and began performing stunts at only five years-old. Moving from his hometown of Austin, TX to Southern California, Howell appeared in Dances With Wolves, Wyatt Erp, and Live Wire with Pierce Bronson, and quickly made a name for himself as a talented, young stunt person. Howell's stunts were also featured in the major blockbuster successes Pearl Harbor and American Wedding. Despite his achievements in the stunt world, Kanin Howell's true passion remained with acting. Closely working with renowned acting coach Dee Wallace Stone, Howell was able to hone his acting skills and soon nabbed roles in the historic drama The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger and Secondhand Lions with Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. He has since had the privilege of working alongside other Hollywood heavyweights including Kevin Bacon, Dennis Hopper, Kyra Sedgwick, and Christian Slater, among others. On the small screen, Kanin Howell has appeared in some of television's most popular drama series, including Heroes, CSI:Miami, CSI:NY, Sons of Anarchy, Criminal Minds, The Forgotten, Walker Texas Ranger, and Lie To Me. In addition, he has had recurring roles on HBO's groundbreaking series True Blood, Passions, Port Charles, and The Division. Always adapting and evolving in the television world, Howell currently co-stars on CBS's long-running hit soap, The Young and the Restless in an on-going story arc. Howell shines in the role, which began as a one episode guest appearance, and has become a focal point in the multi-faceted storyline. Howell resides in Los Angeles where he focuses on his acting craft. In 2010, Howell will also establish his own production company, further immersing himself in every dimension of the industry.
