Clint Howard is one of the few actors willing to work on a wide variety of films, be it the big screen or the small across many genres. What separates him from his brother and his niece is his ability to fit in every role he portrays.
First time on the channel and appreciate your respectful tribute to Clint Howard. I'm just a year older than him and remember fondly the Gentle Ben series back in the 60's. Thumbs up!
One of my favorite roles Clint did was one he did with Rance Howard on Workaholics. Adam and Blake go on strike so their boss replaces them with Clint and Rance's characters. As soon as Clint gets in the cubicle shared with Rance and Adam and Blake's friend Anders he immediately goes "Ooh a computer. Any firewalls on this thing or am I...free to use my best judgement?" and then some time passes and he yells "Craigslist Casual Encounters blocked? What is this, fucking North Korea?" Other highlights include Rance rambling on about somebody from his church making all kinds of soups. I don't know why that Clint Howard role sticks out in particular. I think that's kind of the magic of Clint Howard, anybody's favorite role of his is completely legitimate cause he manages to leave such lasting impressions with the smallest of parts.
I adore these videos. I have since their first version years ago. They are a labor of love and the passion and love you have for it really show. I hope we see more episodes one day. Thank you for these awesome documentaries!
I'm impressed that a balding teenager could still get that many acting parts. Props to Clint Howard's charisma and acting skills. I loved him in the 70's and 80's movies- they were fun.
i came back here because one of my classes today was showing Cinderella Man (2005) because of the subject about the great depression. this scene (26:45) as soon as Clint Howard said "shat ap" everyone in my class started laughing and that led me back to here to share this moment :)
This was fantastic. Thank you so much for putting this together. I LIVE spotting Clint Howard in films. In a weird way it’s like seeing a guy I know. The support is always the unsung… thank you for doing him (and The Ice Cream Man) Justice
I saw Ice Cream Man in a special showing at Brew & View at the Vic in Chicago in the late 90s. He actually introduced the film. Brew & View specializes in showing second run cult films at that venue and the crowd went wild. It seemed like he had a good time and that was very happy making.
Somebody else has probably asked here, but why was there no mention of Clint's amazing role on Seinfeld? Was it a licensing thing? If so, that's a shame. His episode as the serial killer who Kramer is mistaken for is one of my favorites, and frankly, he's a scene-stealer. Absolutely hilarious. Also, his portrayal of Leon on Andy Griffith is the best, especially when he rats out Barney during his mannequin episode in the department store. Anyway, thanks for the great documentary for a well-deserving guy!
Haha, when I was a kid my mom worked briefly in a video store... I remember that Ice Cream Man movie from walking through the horror section. Just like you said, I never watched it.
This is the first of this series that I have seen (and I intend on seeing more 😉). I really enjoyed this, and especially realizing that I HAVE seen Clint Howard in many, many films. I hope that one day you do one of these videos about Missi Pyle, who is a favorite of mine. Keep up the good work! 😁👍
Great video, I really like Clint Howard’s acting, I just knew at my 49 years that he is Ron brother. . .BTW didn’t grew on the US. So never saw it on TV
One of my favorite smaller Clint Howard roles is as a lackey in Fist of the North Star, costarring Dante Basco. There's a great scene where he's improvising while his character shoots at the public and he says "ooh, a baby!" (kablammo!) It had me laughing.
I was a kid in the 1960's & I first saw Clint Howard in Gentle Ben in prime time. He looked "normal" as a kid but as he grew into an adult he looked "weird & geeky & he used that to his advantage to play eccentric roles. Whether it's a lead or supporting role or a bit part he's always memorable. In 1981 I bought "Evilspeak" on video disk & I rented "Ice Cream Man" in the 90's. Clint Howard is so distinctive one of a kind & the true definition of a character actor. When they made Clint they broke the mold.
Awesome video. As you said, Ron Howard tries to get brother Clint into his movies. However, in “Willow” he had no part for him. Yet, Ron instructed the technicians at ILM - who did the special effects - to make the heads (faces) of the Dragon, the Ebersisk, resemble Clint’s. And there you are. Now, we shall drink the tranya.
My favorite role that I’ve seen was actually in a Law and Order episode. He was definitely a weirdo in it, but he wasn’t just a weirdo. He played it with some sincerity and heart. He even managed to be funny too despite the darker tone of the episode.
I worked on one of those straight to DVD films that Clint was in. I remember being at the craft service table and over the walkie talkie, I heard the AD announce "Picture's up.." I wasn't where I needed to be, so I immediately ran out the back door to my place and almost ran over Clint Howard. He looked am me, like, "what the hell!?" Sorry, Clint.
I always watched gentle Ben as a kid !! And throughout the years when ever I saw him in movies, I was like “that’s the gentle Ben kid) I ad no idea until about 10 yrs ago he was Ron’s brother
I always liked Clint Howard a lot from the first times I saw him on Star Trek and Gentle Ben and on from there. Hey, there was someone one in the very first scene that I think would be great for one of your videos. *Fairuk Balk* has always been great in the parts she has had. From her time as a child star and up.
My favorite Clint Howard role is the foreman who spits on the cotton or whatever Nicole Kidman was working on in Far and Away. Couldn't have casted anyone better for that little role.
Ice Cream Man was a blast and watching it made me search this video up, since it's where I first heard of Ice Cream Man. Rewatching this was completely worth my time.
I sure have seen him a bunch of times, yet few of the titles you showed rang a bell. But the whole time I was thinking "now THAT'S a Ferengi!" - and sure enough, at least briefly, he really was
Great to see this re-uploaded at last! Was particularly devastated that you had to take down this episode of No Small Parts - was always my favourite, and could never find it in any of the archives.
This is a new one, not a re-upload. We're still in the process of re-uploading all of the old ones once a week, but we wanted to get a new one in there ASAP!
The Back Focus Argh - how do I remember having seen this before? This is freaking me out! 😮 Have I somehow imagined watching an entire RUclips documentary about Clint FRICKING Howard??? FML
When I daydream about being a big important government official trying to save the world from disaster, I stomp into the room and point to the guy at the desk and yell "STATUS REPORT!" And always, ALWAYS the guy at the desk is Clint Howard.
Once again, you've created a lovely tribute to an iconic actor. Just curious, will you be doing more interviews with actors, like your Wesley Mann interview?
I'd pass up movies with the pretty boys, but I'll see a Clint Howard movie any time--real characters, real acting!--and a very special, unique individual! I want to see more of Clint Howard! Just read "The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family" about the Howard Family. A GREAT read!!!
Hey Brandon, just a minor suggestion regarding Patreon - put the link in the video description so people don't have to go to your channel's about page to find it!
They are brothers, and was a close family growing up. I think Clint has built up enough credentials without being in Ron's films myself. His small roles are very memorable to most ppl which means he is very good at what he does
Woooo!!!! New No Small Pa- I mean Supporting Actor Spotlight
I hope Clint enjoyed this as much as I did.
I love Clint Howard! Such a great acting career. Can't wait to see what's next from him.
Clint Howard lives down the street from me. Proud to have him as a neighbor.
like him better than his goof brother.
@@PlatypusPlessisLipswhy do you say that for? Ron is a genius director
Clint Howard is one of the few actors willing to work on a wide variety of films, be it the big screen or the small across many genres. What separates him from his brother and his niece is his ability to fit in every role he portrays.
I love how Clint looks like his mom and Ron looks like his dad.
Finally a new one! :D
Still dying for one on *Jackie Earle Haley*
Yessssss! Spectacular actor
The name change to this series fortunately didn't change how damn good these are!
Keep doing what you're doing, Brandon!
YES! I was always a fan of Clint Howard and glad to see an episode around him.
First time on the channel and appreciate your respectful tribute to Clint Howard. I'm just a year older than him and remember fondly the Gentle Ben series back in the 60's. Thumbs up!
28:00 HOLY SHIT! I had no idea that was Clint Howard either.
One of my favorite roles Clint did was one he did with Rance Howard on Workaholics. Adam and Blake go on strike so their boss replaces them with Clint and Rance's characters. As soon as Clint gets in the cubicle shared with Rance and Adam and Blake's friend Anders he immediately goes "Ooh a computer.

I think that's kind of the magic of Clint Howard, anybody's favorite role of his is completely legitimate cause he manages to leave such lasting impressions with the smallest of parts.
I always give Clint Howard respect and I think he is a GREAT actor.
Clint Howard slips into the background so well that I didn't even realise this was a new episode until near the end
Gentle Ben ... ahhh .... my first love when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old Clint Howard! Love him still at 59!
I adore these videos. I have since their first version years ago. They are a labor of love and the passion and love you have for it really show. I hope we see more episodes one day. Thank you for these awesome documentaries!
Fascinating! There was so much more to him than I knew!
I'm impressed that a balding teenager could still get that many acting parts. Props to Clint Howard's charisma and acting skills. I loved him in the 70's and 80's movies- they were fun.
You make your vids with such love. This one is perfect.
I loved him in the movie parenthood as lou at the ballpark. He was so funny we used to rewind over and over again
Love this Guy! The true to himself Actor! Wonderful Life! Thank you so much for posting.
"Well, in many ways, the Big Boy never left, sir. He's always offered the same high-quality meals at competitive prices. "
My FAVORITE line!
i came back here because one of my classes today was showing Cinderella Man (2005) because of the subject about the great depression. this scene (26:45) as soon as Clint Howard said "shat ap" everyone in my class started laughing and that led me back to here to share this moment :)
I LOVED Clint Howard in "Tango and Cash"! He's a brilliant, and hilarious actor!!
Another great video Brandon. Long live Clint Howard!
Major pull from this excellent episode: Brandon REALLY doesn't care for Joe Bob Briggs' interviewing style.
Neither do we or his guests
This was fantastic. Thank you so much for putting this together. I LIVE spotting Clint Howard in films. In a weird way it’s like seeing a guy I know.
The support is always the unsung… thank you for doing him (and The Ice Cream Man) Justice
Clint is so relatable to me because of addiction problems, and i think he has an incredible talent to play anyone
I love "The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes" !!!
Night gallery
I am shocked this doesn't have more views. Great production and super entertaining.
Dude is a legend as far as supporting character actors go
I rented Ice Cream Man once a week for like a year and a half when I was a kid. That movie is the definition of a "classic".
dude you really made a informative & really quite heartwarming documentary here. well done
I'd heard about Clint Howard from his B-movie roles and didn't know he was Ron's brother until my dad referred to him as such
I saw Ice Cream Man in a special showing at Brew & View at the Vic in Chicago in the late 90s. He actually introduced the film. Brew & View specializes in showing second run cult films at that venue and the crowd went wild. It seemed like he had a good time and that was very happy making.

Anyway, thanks for the great documentary for a well-deserving guy!
He also had a part in the Tex Murphy series of PC games. He really does pop up everywhere. Thanks for yet another awesome documentary.
Clint looks like Beetlejuice in his punk band. Probably borrowed the look after working with Michael Keaton.
He could easily be spotted in a lot of films Ron directed. Ron always made sure that Clint and Rance came first. Same went for his kids.
I loved Clint Howard's fancy huge budgeted talk show, especially the Johnnie Ramone interview 🎉
Haha, when I was a kid my mom worked briefly in a video store... I remember that Ice Cream Man movie from walking through the horror section. Just like you said, I never watched it.

i just found this series and i just wanted to say its amazing!!! i dont know how these dont have more views!
31:50 The Fringe appearance was great because his character became a huge Star Trek reference which hat-tipped to his role as Balok.
Man, it's about time this guy got some serious time!
I remember The Simpsons had Gentle Ben as a talk show host and of course, it doesn't go well.
"No Ben! Nooooo" lol
🤣😂
Man, you rock for making this video :)
Happy 60th Birthday Clint Howard

Three year after this was posted, I found it and was somehow only the one thousandth like. I’m certainly sharing this around.
I love Clint Howard. I love this video. Well done. 👏
Clint Howard is absolutely great!

Clint truly is the underdog who fought and made it on his own terms. When Doug Stanhope kicks it, maybe Clint could play the lead role......
I always liked Clint Howard a lot from the first times I saw him on Star Trek and Gentle Ben and on from there.
Hey, there was someone one in the very first scene that I think would be great for one of your videos. *Fairuk Balk* has always been great in the parts she has had. From her time as a child star and up.
Its sooooo good to have this back, I mean, what's this new series, looks interesting
I just met him
Very nice guy gave me two autographs
And a bottle of wine
Because he can’t take on plane
I loved seeing him in solo
My favorite Clint Howard role is the foreman who spits on the cotton or whatever Nicole Kidman was working on in Far and Away. Couldn't have casted anyone better for that little role.
Clint Howard is the modern day Lon Chaney, The iconic Silent film character actor
I love that comparison!!! I loved Lon Chaney and LOVE Clint Howard!!!
Your video essays are beautiful. You have a wonderful talent, thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Another great episode!
The scene in Austin Powers with Dr. Evil's rocket always makes me laugh!
So excited for the new episode!
Ice Cream Man was a blast and watching it made me search this video up, since it's where I first heard of Ice Cream Man. Rewatching this was completely worth my time.
A great video!!! Hope to read the new book soon! Mark in Milwaukee!
Bravo and well done. It is very hard work and he really does make acting real for us all understand and to be apart of the scene... you dig?..
I missed the hell out of these! Another awesome episode.
I sure have seen him a bunch of times, yet few of the titles you showed rang a bell. But the whole time I was thinking "now THAT'S a Ferengi!" - and sure enough, at least briefly, he really was
It was really fun re watching all the old videos. Can't wait to see more!
Great to see this re-uploaded at last! Was particularly devastated that you had to take down this episode of No Small Parts - was always my favourite, and could never find it in any of the archives.
Do you come from the Berenstein universe?
This is a new one, not a re-upload. We're still in the process of re-uploading all of the old ones once a week, but we wanted to get a new one in there ASAP!
The Back Focus Argh - how do I remember having seen this before? This is freaking me out! 😮 Have I somehow imagined watching an entire RUclips documentary about Clint FRICKING Howard??? FML
Clint Howard always played interesting characters.
My absolute favourite...Rock 'N Roll Highschool.
When I daydream about being a big important government official trying to save the world from disaster, I stomp into the room and point to the guy at the desk and yell "STATUS REPORT!" And always, ALWAYS the guy at the desk is Clint Howard.
He's the the GOAT of character actors. The spice in the soup.
Once again, you've created a lovely tribute to an iconic actor. Just curious, will you be doing more interviews with actors, like your Wesley Mann interview?
Nice job sir. I watch all your videos and have for several years. I highly enjoyed that one. Thank you
Flippin' love this
I'd love to see one of these on John Candy ^-^
Another amazing video
I'd pass up movies with the pretty boys, but I'll see a Clint Howard movie any time--real characters, real acting!--and a very special, unique individual! I want to see more of Clint Howard! Just read "The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family" about the Howard Family. A GREAT read!!!
Beautifully done, *standing ovation*.
Clinttttttt!!!!
Super excited to watch this! Fantastic video as always
Please make more Brandon, I love them all!!! 👏🏻👏🏻😻🤩💚
This is a great video!
Hey Brandon, just a minor suggestion regarding Patreon - put the link in the video description so people don't have to go to your channel's about page to find it!
Not knocking him, but he's built up a reputation for having a very famous brother who always gives him a part in every single movie.
They are brothers, and was a close family growing up. I think Clint has built up enough credentials without being in Ron's films myself. His small roles are very memorable to most ppl which means he is very good at what he does
@shable1436 I agree. I met him once, and he is a very nice man.
Great episode! Worth the wait. :)
9:00... "hey great the money is here ILL TAKE MINE!!"
Anyone else remember Clint Howard as Creepy Rodney in My Name Is Earl?
The man that shook hands with Andy Griffith
"Flaccid dix, Mr. President" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the new video brandon
