Henry Thomas, renowned for his role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, left Hollywood after his fame, choosing a quieter life in Oregon. He impressed Spielberg during his audition and played Elliott. Thomas explained that he loved L.A. but preferred a quieter, farm life. He moved to Oregon with his wife and children, valuing the peacefulness away from the Hollywood spotlight. While he no longer acts, Thomas participates in events like Metro Comic Con. He will appear alongside Dee Wallace, his on-screen mother from E.T. Other stars like Coates, Guillén, Fehr, O’Brian, and Mills will also attend the event. Thomas’s decision to lead a simpler life in Oregon raises questions about his Hollywood departure’s wisdom.
