Who Knew A Freckled 6 Year Old Would Be the Perfect Example For Child Stars to Follow - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Born into an acting family in Oklahoma, Howard was The Andy Griffith Show's freckle-faced Opie at 6. By 19, he was the star of Happy Days. But Howard's interest always lay behind the camera — he shadowed George Lucas on the set of 1973's American Graffiti and soon thereafter enrolled at USC film school. ''I was disappointed by the scripts I was getting after Graffiti,'' he told EW in 1999. ''So I had a decision to make.'' Howard chose directing. Twenty movies and four Oscar nominations later, it's clear he made the right call.

Well, its simple, he's multi-talented. I don't think I've ever seen anything Ron had his hand in (in front or back of the camera) that I didn't enjoy. Whatta talent - no mater how you slice it!
