Career

Born in Woolwich, London, England, he is best known to television viewers for his work as Jacko in Esmonde and Larbey's late-1980s BBC TV sitcom Brush Strokes and as the title character in the series Mulberry (also by Esmonde and Larbey).

However, Howman first worked with the two comedy scriptwriters on the final series of Thames TV sitcom Get Some In! in 1978 replacing Robert Lindsay (who left after the fourth series to star in Citizen Smith at the BBC) in the role of Jakey Smith. Howman co-starred with Lindsay in Claude Whatham's That'll Be the Day (1973), and also appeared in the sequel Stardust (1974).

Howman's other films include Exposé (1976), a film described as a video nasty, S.O.S. Titanic (1979) as 5th officer Harold Lowe, The Long Good Friday (1980), Babylon (1981), Party Party (1983), The Truth About Love (2005) and in the Porridge feature film (1979).

He also starred in the episode "Shadow" in the BBC series Blake's 7,[1] in the Minder episode "All About Scoring, Innit?" playing Danny Varrow,[2] and in the episode "May" of The Sweeney playing Davey Holmes.[3] He replaced Peter Davison in the BBC Radio 4 school-based comedy drama series King Street Junior when Davison left after the first two series. Howman appeared in the 1980 ITV series Fox, the last two series of the Judi Dench/Michael Williams comedy A Fine Romance, and in Babes in the Wood with Denise Van Outen.

Howman has provided voice-over for UK digital television station Nuts TV. He played a role in the ITV drama The Bill for four episodes in 2001.

He is well known for his recurring role in the commercials for the Flash brand of cleaning products and McEwan's Export Scottish Ale, the latter of which was later developed into the BBC Scotland comedy drama series Bad Boys in 1995 where Howman reprised his role.

Theatre appearances include Teeth 'n' Smiles (1975/6) and the character of Mr Paravavincini, a foreign visitor at a guest house in the first UK tour of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap (2011).

He also starred in the BBC Radio 7 audio show Coming Alive as Terry, an educated ex-convict who helps divorcee Sandra (Phyllis Logan) through many ups and downs with the Grove Hill Community Centre. Three series of six episodes, originally broadcast 2008–09.

On 25 September 2014, it was announced that Howman had been cast in long running BBC soap EastEnders.[4] Howman appeared as the character Buster Briggs. In his time on the show, Buster's storylines included his relationship with Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), his relationship with his two sons Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) and Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), running a fish stall and having an affair with Kathy Sullivan (Gillian Taylforth). In July 2016, it was announced that Howman would be leaving the show after nearly two years.[5] Buster left the show after his relationship with Shirley and his affair with Kathy both ended with Howman's last episode airing on 23 September 2016.[6]
