Ron Howard has long been a presence in television before Arrested Development, so he didn't "return" to TV for that project. So I added further information about his TV activities. JuanOso 20:16, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

6 Career Chronology

[edit] Composer?

Will anyone write about how Ron Howard is a music writer and composer? I belive he even wrote the music to "A Beautiful Mind". Good stuff. 65.9.89.94 04:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnicity

Assuming that Ron Howard doesn't actually have six parents, how significant are the several ethnicities listed in the opening paragraph (Dutch, Scottish, English, Irish, German and Cherokee Indian)? Is there some special reasons that these are all listed there? If not, that part of the sentence should be moved to the main article, or deleted altogether. (I would think most Americans could come up with nearly as long a list if asked to go back to great- or great-great-grandparents) -- Renesis13 20:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What the hell!?

who put up "young gay vampires in south america" we need to block these idiots.

Well actually that is pretty funny, and plus there would be no way to go about doing that.

[edit] Da Vinci Code

His latest film, The Da Vinci Code, reteaming Howard with Splash and Apollo 13 star Tom Hanks, has been a box office hit, despite largely negative reviews and criticisms of its historical and theologic accuracy.

Is it worth noting the criticisms of accuracy for a fictional movie of a fictional book? Shouldn't the furor be mostly over the book, and the line about the movie end with "despite largely negative reviews"? Unless the movie has additional inaccuracies beyond the book (I haven't seen it, so I can't say), it seems like an unnecessary point. --4.254.112.191 03:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Max Baer

Ron Howard did a great slander to the memory of Max Baer in Cinderalla Man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.206.165.28 (talk) 22:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Career Chronology

Although The Music Man was Howard's first major big screen success as a child actor, he had already been appearing on The Andy Griffith Show for 2 years by the time the picture was released. The article seems to suggest that the film came first. It is more likely that he had gained recognition first as Opie, which led to his being cast as Winthrop. MDonfield 05:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
