RIP RANCE HOWARD 1928-2017

The father of Ron and Clint Howard has died.

Rance started his career in 1956 in a small film called "Frontier Women" and moved on to do a lot of TV after that including "Bat Masterson" and "Zane Gray Theater" to name a couple.

Howard became a great character actor and one of those faces you saw and recognized immediately. He also had roles in films like "Village Of The Giants" which also starred his young son Ron, and "Cool Hand Luke".

His other son Clint was in a TV show called "Gentle Ben" and Rance was in 30 of those episodes as well. Rance worked in every genre of film and television and would pop up unexpectedly in many films such as "Mars Attacks", "Sasquatch Mountain", and "Grand Theft Auto".

A talented man with a very talented family. He died on Nov. 25th, 2017 at the age of 89 just 8 days after his birthday.
