Ronald William Howard (born March 1, 1954) is an American filmmaker and actor. He first came to prominence as a child actor, guest-starring in several television series, including an episode of The Twilight Zone. Howard gained national attention for playing young Opie Taylor, the son of Sheriff Andy Taylor (played by Andy Griffith) in the sitcom The Andy Griffith Show from 1960 through 1968. During this time, he also appeared in the musical film The Music Man (1962), a critical and commercial success. He was credited as Ronny Howard in his film and television appearances from 1959 to 1973. Howard was cast in one of the lead roles in the coming-of-age film American Graffiti (1973), which received widespread acclaim and became one of the most profitable films in history. The following year, Howard became a household name for playing Richie Cunningham in the sitcom Happy Days, a role he would play from 1974 through 1984. Howard continued appearing in films during this time, such as the western film The Shootist (1976) and the comedy film Grand Theft Auto (1977), which also marked his directorial debut. In 1984, Howard left Happy Days to focus on directing, producing and occasionally writing variety films and television series. His films include the science-fiction/fantasy Cocoon (1985), the fantasy Willow (1988), the thriller Backdraft (1991), the historical docudrama Apollo 13 (1995), the Christmas comedy How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), the biographical drama A Beautiful Mind (2001), the biographical sports drama Cinderella Man (2005), the thriller The Da Vinci Code (2006), the historical drama Frost/Nixon (2008), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), and the documentary Pavarotti (2019). For A Beautiful Mind, Howard won the Academy Award for Best Director and Academy Award for Best Picture. He was nominated again for the same awards for Frost/Nixon. In 2003, Howard was awarded the National Medal of Arts. He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2013. Howard has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions in the television and motion pictures industries.

Ronald Howard ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, Regisseur und Filmproduzent sowie zweifacher Oscarpreisträger. Ron Howards Vater Rance Howard, ein bekannter Schauspieler, brachte ihn und seinen Bruder Clint Howard häufig in Kinderrollen unter. Jahrelang wurde er als Ronny Howard geführt. Seit früher Jugend interessierte ihn das Filmemachen. So drehte er mit Vater und Geschwistern als Schauspielern kleinere Filme, die zum Teil schon Auszeichnungen erhielten. Howard spielte recht früh in der Fernsehserie Andy Griffith Show den Opie Taylor mit Andy Griffith (geführt als Ronny Howard). Im Kino hatte Howard seinen ersten Erfolg 1973 als Schauspieler in der Rolle des „Steve Bollander“ in George Lucas' Kultfilm American Graffiti. Danach spielte er jahrelang in der erfolgreichen Sitcom Happy Days. Dazwischen hatte er 1976 eine tragende Nebenrolle in dem Western Der letzte Scharfschütze, der gleichzeitig der letzte Film mit dem legendären US-Schauspieler John Wayne war. Seine Karriere als Regisseur begann 1977 mit der Arbeit an dem Low-Budget-Film Highway 101. Anschließend arbeitete er einige Jahre als Regisseur bei Fernsehserien. Anfang der 1980er-Jahre schaffte Howard den Durchbruch in Hollywood und führte seitdem Regie bei vielen beachteten Produktionen. 1986 gründete er zusammen mit Filmproduzent Brian Grazer die Produktionsfirma Imagine Entertainment, mit welcher er fortan seine Filme produziert. Publikumserfolge und filmtechnische Glanzleistungen wie Splash, Willow und Backdraft begründeten seinen aktuellen Ruf als großer Hollywood-Regisseur. Bisheriger Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn war 2002 der Gewinn von zwei Oscars in den Kategorien „Beste Regie“ und „Bester Film“ für A Beautiful Mind – Genie und Wahnsinn. Mit The Missing legte er einen künstlerisch beachtlichen Versuch einer Neusicht des Western-Genres vor, der zugleich realistisch und beunruhigend wirkt. Sein Bruder Clint Howard ist häufig in einer Nebenrolle in seinen Filmen zu sehen. 2008 zeichnete Howard für die Verfilmung von Peter Morgans Theaterstück Frost/Nixon verantwortlich mit Frank Langella in der Rolle des Richard Nixon und Michael Sheen als Fernsehmoderator David Frost. Das Drama brachte ihm erneut Regie-Nominierungen für den Golden Globe Award und Oscar ein. Weitere Filmprojekte folgten, darunter auch weitere Literaturverfilmungen. Im Juni 2017 übernahm er inmitten der Dreharbeiten die Regie von Solo: A Star Wars Story, der 2018 in die Kinos kommen soll. Howard ist seit 1975 mit der Schriftstellerin Cheryl Howard verheiratet, zusammen haben sie vier Kinder. Seine Tochter Bryce Dallas ist ebenfalls Filmschauspielerin. Seit dem Film Nightshift – Das Leichenhaus flippt völlig aus arbeitet er beinahe ausschließlich mit dem Filmeditor Mike Hill und dessen Kollegen Daniel P. Hanley zusammen. Als regelmäßiger Kameramann kommt seit 2003 Salvatore Totino zum Einsatz. In der 4. Staffel der Fernsehserie Arrested Development spielt Howard sich selbst.

Om Howard var först i Hollywood under 1994, med att göra en biotopic-film. När han tillsammans med Tom Hanks tog sig att dramatisera Apollo 13:ons gastkramande kamp för att inte bli fast i rymden, Det kan jag inte säga att han var till @00% procent. Men att filmen ger en tillräckligt akkurat bild av det som astronauter.gick i genom. Det kan jag verkligen säga att den gör. Sedan har han också skildrat de numera legendariska intervju-serien med Frost. Och tillsammans Hanks har Howard också filmatiserat flera av författaren David Brown spänningsromaner.

朗·霍华德出生于俄克拉荷马州一个演艺之家,早在18个月时就登上银幕,成为了童星。对他来说,最艰难的不是从童星到成人明星的转变,而是从演员到导演的过渡。尽管他也曾因表演得到过不错的评价和奖项,甚至出演了《美国风情画》这样的经典之作,但其兴趣始终在于导演。 他18岁时即开始用超8毫米机器拍摄影片,后来也曾就读于南加州大学,但感到难以从学校得到真正的经验而退学。霍华德通过导演低成本小制作影片最终跃进到好莱坞主流电影中,从《美人鱼》到《远离家园》,其作品总能吸引到大明星的加盟。但很显然,他的影片没有多少个性色彩,他无疑是属于好莱坞体制内最为顺从的导演,对商业片的游戏规则稔熟于心。他的作品技巧精湛,通俗易懂,能够用最具有娱乐性的方式包装起主流意识形态和价值观念,并且恰到好处地煽情,或许有些俗套,但却可靠有效。 霍华德影片的精彩程度很大部分依赖于剧本,而从《阿波罗13号》以来,他显示出自己具有将极富戏剧张力的剧本与高科技结合起来的能力。朗·霍华德属于好莱坞中生代导演中稳打稳扎、不事声张的那一类型,不过随着《圣诞怪杰》的票房大热,和《美丽心灵》在奥斯卡上的风光无限,他已经证实了自己和斯皮尔伯格一样具备制作高质量商业片的能力。他能够在受到片商们欢迎的同时,得到学院派认可。因为他的影片既好看,又有意义。 《美丽心灵》之后,霍华德相继推出的《失踪》、《铁拳男人》、《达芬奇密码》虽然都启用了大牌明星,但口碑参差不齐,未能获得一致好评。2008年他风格一转,拍出了传记题材的影片《福斯特对话尼克松》,将曾经饱受丑闻包围的美国前总统搬上银幕,与银幕内的记者和银幕外的观众对话。独特的形式和犀利的观点令本片获得不少好评。2009年霍华德的新作是《达芬奇密码》的续集《天使与魔鬼》。
