I ran into Clint Howard today on a photo assignment in Birmingham. He's here for the premiere of a film he's in, "Alabama Moon."
I've never met Ron, but from what I've seen and heard of him on the box he seems like a very personable, genuine person. Clint is the same way. Very warm and gracious; it's obvious he was raised by good parents.
We get a fair amount of "celebrities" through here as we have the Sidewalk Film Festival every Fall. It's a shame I can't say more are as nice as Clint Howard.
Although he has had a long and varied career, usually playing some weird-type character, he may not have the acclaim Ron has received for his work, but many will know the face if not the name.
Here's a crop from a photo.
