Happy Days, The Andy Griffith Show, Gentle Ben—these shows captivated millions of TV viewers in the ’60s and ’70s. Join award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and audience-favorite actor Clint Howard as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family story of navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors.
“What was it like to grow up on TV?” Ron Howard has been asked this question throughout his adult life. In The Boys, he and his younger brother, Clint, examine their childhoods in detail for the first time. For Ron, playing Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days offered fame, joy, and opportunity—but also invited stress and bullying. For Clint, a fast start on such programs as Gentle Ben and Star Trek petered out in adolescence, with some tough consequences and lessons.
With the perspective of time and success—Ron as a filmmaker, producer, and Hollywood A-lister, Clint as a busy character actor—the Howard brothers delve deep into an upbringing that seemed normal to them yet was anything but. Their Midwestern parents, Rance and Jean, moved to California to pursue their own showbiz dreams. But it was their young sons who found steady employment as actors. Rance put aside his ego and ambition to become Ron and Clint’s teacher, sage, and moral compass. Jean became their loving protector—sometimes over-protector—from the snares and traps of Hollywood.
By turns confessional, nostalgic, heartwarming, and harrowing, The Boys is a dual narrative that lifts the lid on the Howard brothers’ closely held lives. It’s the journey of a tight four-person family unit that held fast in an unforgiving business and of two brothers who survived “child-actor syndrome” to become fulfilled adults.

“It’s ten o’clock at night, do you know where your prepubescent children are?”
Oh, they’re perfectly safe. They’re in a Hollywood studio, with lots of reputable Hollywood-type people around them; under the sweaty wing of award-winning film director, Peter Pederasty. Other upstanding, erect Hollywood people fully vouch for Peter.

@caesar963 - could have been worse. They might had to stay back after choir practise until their voice broke.

…or even riskier - the child had to go home. As we’re all too aware, perpetrators of child abuse are most often the child’s own parents. According to NCANDS, their studies showed that 79.4% of child abusers were the parents, & the next largest pool of abusers consisted of unmarried partners of the parents of child victims. 40% of child victims were abused by their mothers acting alone, & a disturbing 17.3% were abused by both parents.
This offers the child practically no escape.
While a common misconception might be that child abuse victims come from “bad” or low-income families, the truth is that child abuse occurs across the spectrum of socioeconomic conditions & within all types of families.
The issue always is access. Statistically, the teaching profession has the highest proportion of child sexual abusers. Followed by the medical profession.
Whoever they are, in your family or mine, religious, atheist, teacher, doctor, social services coach - bury them under the phookin’ jail.
