Who is Bryce Dallas Howard?

Bryce Dallas Howard is an American film actress, writer and director. She didn’t want to be an actor in childhood but a forensic anthropologist. Howard acted first in her father’s film, ‘The Parenthood’ (1989). A few years later, she honed her acting skills at Tisch School of the arts and earned many roles in her school’s productions. She never looked back after that and soon embarked on a journey to stardom. Howard’s biggest break came with Twilight Series where she played the role of Victoria. Her other movies which won her accolades were ‘Spiderman3’, ‘The Help’ and ‘Terminator salvation.’ Although many of her films bombed at the box-office but she received critical acclaim for her roles. Bryce is an avid reader since childhood and was strongly influenced by the theory of existentialism in her later teenage days. Howard has also tried her hands at direction, screenplay and production recently.
