Clint Howard has taken the time to bask in the Christmas excitement alongside local governance, from the mayor to the Burbank fire department, a bout of fun he shared on social media earlier this week. As an actor, Howard has over 200 acting credits, including Apollo 13 and Waterboys, and both he and brother Ron offer a unique perspective growing up as child stars in their new book The Boys.

Christmas essentially got the family into acting in the first place / Ron Howard on Instagram Christmas is actually a very important time to the whole Howard family, from father Rance to sons Ron and Clint. It was performing in a Christmas play at the age of 12 that told Rance he wanted to pursue acting as a career. Years later, his wife Jean would pursue a similar path, though she wanted to know the kids were a little more grown before she did. Clint Howard is such a Christmas fan, he makes snow globes as a hobby / Clint Howard on Instagram When Jean did enter the limelight, it was to step right into - you guessed it - Christmas movies. Some of her earliest credits were A Smoky Mountain Christmas and Scrooged. The former put her alongside the likes of Dolly Parton and Lee Majors, and was directed by Henry Winkler. So, basically, it was an all-star team. As for her very first credit, that came from 1985’s Cocoon, directed by her very own son, Ron Howard. Not Christmas-themed, but definitely powerful.
