In 2015, he was reelected in a new election.
Early life
Howard was born in El Centro, California, the son of Martha Carey (née McDonald) and Kenneth Joseph Howard, a stockbroker, being the elder of their two sons. Don Howard, his younger brother, was also an actor and producer. His 6-foot (6.98 m) stature earned him the nickname "Stork" as a high school student. He grew up in Manhasset, New York, on Long Island.
Howard was the only white starter on the Manhasset High School varsity basketball team when he was awarded the nickname "The White Shadow" by the Long Island press in 1961.
Howard, a member of the National Honor Society in high school, turned down numerous offers of basketball scholarships in favour of a more targeted academic education. He graduated from Amherst College, where he served as captain of the basketball team in 1966. He was also a member of The Zumbyes, a cappella singing group. He attended Yale School of Drama but was unable to make his Broadway debut until completing his master's degree, which he obtained in 1999.
Personal life
Howard was married three times. Louise Sorel, a child of actress Louise Sorel (m. 1973–75), was his first wife. Margo Howard, a writer and advice columnist, was his second wife (m. 1977-91). Linda Fetters Howard, a stuntwoman from 1992 to 2016, was his last marriage.
