Rance Howard (their dad) appeared in the episode where George trades glass frames with a blind man-- the ep name escapes, but Rance was the blind man from the health club.

actually he voiced in When You Dish Upon A Star and Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder

Let's all have a glass of tranya in his honor.

I invented it. It's called a lawnmower. Want one?

Of course, Clint Howard's most important role was as the son in the series "Gentle Ben" in the sixties; Dennis Weaver played his father (and an airboat was commonly used in the series; see the Simpsons episode where they kill the alligator).

After that, Clint Howard's significant role was as Ron Howard's brother. And he played this well, showing up in most Ron Howard films in a bit role. (I noticed him in Night Shift, and then noticed him again in another Ron Howard film; the third time I realized there was a pattern.) I think this still happens, though I've been paying less attention in recent years.

It was great that MTV awarded this sidekick hero with lifetime achievement award 1998. He joined to an exlusive club:

1992 Jason Vorhees, Friday The 13th 1993 The Three Stooges 1994 Richard Roundtree, Shaft 1996 Godzilla 1997 Chewbacca, Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back/Return Of The Jedi 1998 Clint Howard

1. Don't forget Dennis Weaver made an appearance on The Simpsons. 2. Clint Howard was one of the mission control guys in Apollo 13. Another Ron Howard movie!

Yes, he was also in Apollo 13, and From the Earth to the Moon, and (not a Ron Howard movie) the Austin Powers films.

Clint also portrayed the alien kid in Star Trek TOS...

Don't forget the star of "Gentle Ben" as well...
