Ron Howard
Ron Howard got his first taste in the entertainment industry when he was only five. His first ever credited role was in The Journey. He later appeared in TV shows like The DuPont Show with June Allyson, Dennis the Menace, The Twilight Zone, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Eleventh Hour just to name a few. He later transitioned into film, starting with American Graffiti, The Shootist, and others.
Howard soon found himself sitting on the director’s chair. Among his works included Night Shift, Splash, Parenthood, Apollo 13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Cinderella Man, Rush, In The Heart of the Sea, and Inferno. The actor-turned-director used some of his investment money to create Imagine Entertainment. His business venture has since produced films like Friday Night Lights, Inside Deep Throat, Felicity, 24, 8 Mile, and Arrested Development. Thanks to his contributions to Hollywood both as an actor and as a director, Howard has received numerous nominations and accolades.
