    Brother of actor Clint Howard

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a 'bachelor' contestant on 'The Dating Game' (1971).
    He started balding in his twenties.
    He casts his brother, mother and father Clint in his movies.
    Three of his children are named for where they were conceived: Bryce Dallas in Dallas and twins Paige Carlyle and Jocelyn Carlyle at the Hotel Carlyle in New York City.
    Speaking of being a teen and not getting acting work he said, 'You're 14 or 15, and they can hire an 18-year-old and not have the child-labor law restrictions, and so they do. Just at the point when you're feeling confused and vulnerable, you're being rejected.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He made the transition from child star to actor/director.
    He married his high school sweetheart, Cheryl (June 7, 1975).
    He doesn't mind spoofing himself (2 appearances in 'The Simpsons' as himself, 'The Dennis Miller Show' playing himself & 'Saturday Night Live' where Eddie Murphy kept calling him 'Opie Cunningham' until he said in mock anger 'Sit on it, bucko').
    Many actors have praise his directing skills.
    He won the high school National Kodak Super 8 film contest.
    He ranked #61 in Forbes Power List (2000).
