From Variety, Aug. 17, 2000:
"Henry Thomas has signed to join Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Daniel Day-Lewis in ``The Gangs of New York,'' with director Martin Scorsese poised to begin production in Rome in September. Thomas will play Johnny Sirocco, the best friend of Amsterdam Vallon (DiCaprio), the young man who tries to unite Gotham's ethnic gangs. He'll next be seen starring with Matt Damon in the Billy Bob Thornton-directed ``All the Pretty Horses,'' the co-production between Columbia and Miramax, which will be released by the latter. He has also starred in three independent films: the Sergei Bodrov-directed ``The Quickie,'' the Zev Berman-directed ``Briar Patch'' and the Gustavo Lipsztein-directed ``Dead in the Water.''
Henry Thomas is nearly 29 years old (Sept 1), and is best known for playing the lead character, the little boy "Eliot", in E.T. in 1982.
