Kevyn Major Howard is a Canadian actor and photographer best known for his role as "Rafterman" in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

After acting in high school, Howard moved to Los Angeles and Hollywood in the late 1970s. His headshot was delivered to Paramount Pictures and, shortly thereafter, he was called in and booked for his first major film role, in The Serial, with Martin Mull, Tuesday Weld, Sally Kellerman, Pamela Bellwood and Peter Bonerz. This was followed by the film Scared Straight Another Story. He appeared as Stomper in Death Wish II and later as Hawkins in 1983's Sudden Impact, notably making him the only actor to be in both Death Wish and Dirty Harry film series. In 1988, he appeared in the episode "Line of Fire" of the cult TV series Miami Vice.

In the BBC show The Human Face, Howard is touted as the "King of the Hollywood headshot" as he has become a leading headshot photographer after retiring from acting.^[1]
