Ron Howard was five years old when he made his debut in his debut in the drama of the Hungarian Revolution of Anatole Lithuk in 1959 "Travel". A year later, the red-head was thrown as a description of Taylor, the son of Meibery, the sheriff of North Carolina, Andy Taylor in the "Andy Griffith" show, which had the effect of turning it into America's brother. Television viewers watch Howard grew during the 1960s, so they felt like they had a skin touch in the game when he played a recent graduate high school student Steve Bolander in George Lucas's "American Graffiti". Then he landed the role of Richie Cunningham in the ABC's "Happy Days" sithom, at that moment it seemed as a family. Everyone wanted Howard to be distinguished.

However, if everyone was honest with him, it was hard to see that Howard's acting career lasted much longer than "happy days". He had a limited range and could not seem to be shaking his personal person. Fortunately, Howard has grown disinterested in acting and set the director's eyes. Before throwing "happy days", he enrolled at a film school at the University of Southern California. Actually, Howard has almost returned to Uscz Early on the eve of "Happy Days" when the series is re -examined for rating fighting.

While Howard got him stuck on the sithom until his contract ended, he managed to direct a movie while still filming the show ("Grand Theft Auto" in 1977) and wasted time not to get a full career in the movie after being free from all "happy days" obligations. This was extremely good for him (he won the best director Oscar in 2002 for "Beautiful World), but you might be surprised to find out that he has refused the opportunity to expose his craft by directing an episode of" Happy Days " .

When Howard appeared on Podcast without smart With Jason Batman, Will Arnett and John Chase in 2020, he revealed that his interest in directing was caused by his early days on the set of "Andy Griffith". As he told the trio:

"I was able to be part of this show and be part of this process that included cameras operators. At some point I realized that the director was the one who had to hang out with everyone, had to play with everyone.

Until the 1970s, Howard was careful enough to understand the difference between directing an episode of television and helming, let's say, "Graduated." He desperately wanted to try his hand to the latter, but he did not see the way to the masterpiece of Mike Nichols as a traffic director of a television trafficking. Howard was also respected The needs of his co-stars on "happy days", And he didn't want to pull hugs into an oil machine. Jerryiers Paris was a series of the series and, according to Howard, he knew better than anyone how to deliver what viewers were looking for from the show every week.

Howard's patience paid off, and while he never directed a classic at the level of "graduated", at least we have "ed" and that is not poverty!
