In addition, he has appeared in a New York Shakespeare Festival production of “Macbeth” and as Probst in the WPA’s “The White Rose.” He was selected through a nationwide talent search and subsequently won roles on “Loving” and “Guiding Light.”

Howarth created the role of ABC’s “One Life to Live” Todd Manning in December 1992, turning what was originally a day-player into a compelling long-term character. He was awarded the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in 1994. Howarth appeared on “OLTL” from 1992-2003 and returned to the role again in 2011. Other television credits include “The Flash,” “Californication,” the science-fiction series “Prey,” “Dawson’s Creek” and “As the World Turns.”

Howarth’s theater credits include “Henry IV,” “Passions,” “You Touched Me,” “Mother Courage” and “Orestes,” and he made his Broadway debut in “The White Rose.” In 1999, he appeared in James Goldman’s Broadway production of “The Lion in Winter” alongside Stockard Channing and Laurence Fishburne.

Howarth currently resides in New York City with his wife, Cari. They have two children.
