Full Clint Howard Biography
Clinton E. "Clint" Howard (b. April 20, 1959, Burbank, California) is an American film and television actor.
As a child actor, Clint Howard starred on Gentle Ben. He was sometimes seen on The Andy Griffith Show as "Leon", a toddler in a cowboy outfit who wandered freely around Mayberry and would silently offer people a bite of his sandwich.
One of Howard's other roles as a child actor was the voice of the elephant Hathi's son Hathi, Jr. in 1967's The Jungle Book from Disney. He also was the voice of Roo in Disney's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Howard appeared in various Star Trek episodes:
- The Corbomite Maneuver, a first-season episode of Star Trek. He briefly reprised the character he played, Balok, on Comedy Central's roast of William Shatner;
- Past Tense Part II, a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode;
- Acquisition, a first-season episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.
He played "Johnny Bark" on a first-season episode of Arrested Development, which was produced and narrated by his brother, Ron Howard. He was also seen in an episode of Married...With Children as a creepy janitor.
Howard has appeared in many films that were directed by his brother, Ron Howard, often playing unpleasant characters, including a callous morgue attendant in Backdraft, a sour Little League parent who taunts Steve Martin in Parenthood, a crossdresser named 'Nipples' in Little Nicky, an uncaring retirement home worker in Cocoon, and Flynn, a demanding, abusive factory overseer in Far and Away.
He also appeared as the head usher in Get Crazy, a television director in EdTV, a Southern-fried college football fan in The Waterboy, Seymour Liebergot in Apollo 13, a father of one of the main characters in Uwe Boll's Heart of America and in That Thing You Do (1997), as a radio interviewer.
In 1981, Clint formed The Kempsters, a New Wave Rock & Roll group. The band was composed mostly of Clint's friends who were neighbors with him on Kemp street, hence the band's name. In 1982, their original drummer, Mike "Spooner" Bauer was replaced by Tony Rodriquez and the band began to play regularly at Madame Wong's West. Clint retired the band in 1983. Although The Kempsters never released an album while together, Clint Howard has recently begun distributing a CD featuring 4 tracks the band recorded in various studios and 7 tracks recorded live October 17, 1982 at Madame Wong's. Clint is currently selling autographed copies of the album, which is titled No Brains At All.
In 1998, Howard was awarded the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award. The Phoenix, a Boston-based newspaper, listed Howard as 22nd in their list of "100 unsexiest men in the world," one spot behind his brother Ron.
Mad magazine spoofed his cameo appearance in his brother's films with the article "The Clint Howard Collection".
Howard was born in Burbank, California, the son of actors Rance Howard and Jean F. Speegle and the younger brother of actor-turned-director Ron Howard. Married twice: first in 1986 to ?, divorced 1987, and secondly in 1995 to Melanie. An avid golfer carrying a ten handicap, Howard boasts of playing 150 rounds a year. He is also known for his activity in the game World of Warcraft. Howard plays the game under the name Extas of the guild <Peekay> on the Dark Iron realm. |
