Tis the season, and of course, my favorite Christmas movie is the classic, How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Adapted from Dr. Suess’ short story, in 2000 RON HOWARD directed the new version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas – this movie is the influence to my blog about the great Ron Howard.
If you don’t know who Ron Howard is, you’re living under a rock. He’s that funky looking red-head that is the narrator on Arrested Development. He was born in 1954 and was in his first movie at 18 months old. He was the baby in Frontier Woman. Ron Howard was born into an acting family, and has successfully become an actor, director, and producer of many TV shows and films.
Ron Howard played Opie on the Andy Griffith Show (1960) and played Richie Cunningham in Happy Days (1974).
As a director, Ron Howard started his career directing shorts. His first was Old Paint, which he created in 1969 at only 15 years old. Some of his more famous works include: Parenthood, Far and Away, Apollo 13, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, The Da Vinci Code, Frost/Nixon, Angels and Demons, The Dilema, Rush, Made in America (A Documentary) among others.
He is well known for acting the roll of the narrator in Arrested Development as well as producing the hit television series. He has acted in the Twilight Zone, The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, Dennis the Menace, Grand Theft Auto, and acted in many television shows throughout his early years. Ron Howard was also featured in SNL i 1981.
Ron Howard as a writer created Grand Theft Auto in 1977, Cotton Candy (1978), Parenthood (1989), and Far and Away (1992)
I admire Ron Howards’ creative diversity, being able to write, act, direct, and produce great television shows and movies. I love the television show Arrested Development and when I found out that Ron Howard had created it, I enjoyed it so much more.
And since it is the holiday season, one of Ron Howard’s greatest work is one of my favorite movies : How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
I have a lot of respect for men and women in the industry such as Ron Howard, who have created such a broad spectrum of shows and movies. All of these great people are my role models and influencers.
