From Child Star to Celebrated Filmmaker: The Incredible and Extraordinary Life of Ron Howard
First Acting Job
The Andy Griffith Show is not the first acting break that Ron Howard got, as his first appearance was in the 1959 movie The Journey. When other five-year-olds have a normal routine involving playing, eating, and going to sleep, Howard appeared in his first ever film! His parents’ intention was not to send little ‘Ronny’ to work to save up money for college or even real estate, they probably saw their little boy’s acting potential. The Journey features the wonderful pairing of actors Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr, who starred together first in The King and I.
