With one of the fullest dance cards in all entertainment, a return to acting isn’t high on the priority list for Ron Howard, but that doesn’t mean the days of acting are completely behind him. With notable roles in American Graffiti and Happy Days on his impressive CV (one among the highest grossing films of all time adjusted to inflation and the other a beloved smash hit TV show), his focus is – and has been for decades – on directing and producing, but there is one person who could coax him out of acting retirement, his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard.
“I happen to play myself in an upcoming episode of The Studio, and I had a lot of fun doing that,” he noted.
However, Howard shared that his daughter, actress and director Bryce Dallas Howard, could likely get him to step back in front of the screen. “I think that if my daughter Bryce cast me in something, that would compel me to put down the directing obligation, put them on hold for a minute and show up,” he said.
He continued, “But otherwise, between what’s going on at my company Imagine Entertainment with Brian Grazer and our team, and what I’m personally trying directorially, I keep my calendar full in ways that are exciting and I want to succeed at. I want to focus.”
