While Ron Howard was getting awards and adulation from behind the camera for directing movies like "Cinderella Man", "A Beautiful Mind", and "Apollo 13", his brother Clint, despite over 160 roles in television and movies, toiled in relative obscurity as a character actor. On Saturday night outside of the Victoria Hall Theatre in Santa Barbara, the roles were reversed. Clint Howard was about to enter the second screening of his latest movie "Planet Ibsen" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Howard plays 1800's Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen ("Peer Gynt" "A Doll's House"). The movie, which is directed by Jonathan Wyche, is a stylized version of the latter play. While older brother stood happily by, younger brother was graciously accepting congratulations from friends, and the adulation of fans.
Ron Howard said that he loved his brother's part in the movie. I saw a cut nine of the movie nine months ago," Ron Howard said. "And I think that he (Clint Howard) gave a great performance. It is a really cool fascinating movie, that I am glad the Film Festival chose it. It is a good movie and a great showcase for one of the better character actors around." Read More
