Any movie with the name Ron Howard attached to it gains international attention. The director, producer, writer and actor is a heavy-hitter in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

He was born into a showbiz family so you could say he had all the right connections to break into Hollywood at a young age but it takes talent to make it to the level this Oklahoma-born star has reached.<\/p>\n

The father of four who started out at 6 years old playing Opie Taylor in \u201cThe Andy Griffith Show\u201d went on to become one of the greatest directors of our time.<\/p>\n

There are countless cases of child actors who you never hear of again once they reach a certain age but this hardworking man went on to appear in coming-of-age movie\u00a0American Graffiti<\/em>\u00a0which achieved widespread acclaim and became one of the most profitable films in history.<\/p>\n
