Clint Howard Net Worth $10 Million
Clint was born into a very artistic family, since his mother Jean Speegle Howard is an actress and his father Rance Howard is an actor. Clint‘s older brother Ron Howard is also a famous actor, producer and director; Clint‘s niece Paige and nephew Bryce Dallas are also actors.
Clint attended R.L. Stevenson Elementary School in Burbank, and it might be said that Howard dipped his toe in the television pool in 1962 when he appeared as a toddler in cowboy outfit in the sitcom “The Andy Griffith Show”. As a child actor Howard appeared in “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father” and was a voice of the elephant Hanthi Jr. in the animated movie ”Jungle Book”. Also, he was a voice of the Roo in “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh“and other Disney‘s animated series about Winnie the Pooh. These were a good start to his net worth.
Later on, Clint starred in “The Streets of San Francisco“, medical drama “Breaking Point”, and “The Home is the Hunted”. Clint’s first important role was in the series “Gentle Ben” in which he played for two years. Moreover, Howard appeared in a few “Star Trek” episodes, and later he played a role in “Arrested Development” (a series directed by his brother Ron), appeared in “Married…with Children” as a creepy janitor, and in “My Name is Earl” as Creepy Rodney. Undoubtedly, Clint can associate his net worth with his successful television career.
Clint played in his brother Ron‘s first feature-length movie “Grand Theft Auto“, and later played various roles, including Paul in “Gung Ho”, Lou in “Parenthood”, Seymour Liebergot in “Apollo 13” and Whobris in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. Moreover, other roles that are worth mentioning include portrayal of Kate the Caterer in “Cat in the Hat”, Johnson Ritter in the successful “Austin Powers” series, and Dr. Owen in “Nobody Gets Out Alive”, which was nominated for and won awards for the best director and the best actor. No doubt, that all these roles helped Howard to gain his wealth; in fact he has been involved in over 90 films, and more than 60 TV productions, indicating both audience popularity and demand on the part of directors.
Howard was also a founder of the rock ‘n’ roll group called The Kempsters in 1981 but the group was short-lived and never released any albums.
In his personal life, Clint has been married to Melanie Howard since 1995. He currently lives in Los Angeles, and enjoys playing golf. In 1966, Howard was nominated for MTV Movie Awards’ “Lifetime Achievement” and won. Since then, this award has been legalized and it’s no longer somewhat of a joke as it used to be.

I had a wonderful time working on the film Sand Castles (2014). Experiences like this reminds me of why I love acting.

One of my earliest memories is being inside the recording studio and I see the shadow of a figure that looks an awful lot like Walt Disney. Then the door opened and Mr. Disney walked in and said, "Hi Clint". I won't ever forget that.

People don't realize that doing a horror movie is hard work. You're out there all day screaming your lungs out, breathing in toxic make-up fumes, rolling around in the dirt, getting your eyebrows burned off - it's not like doing a sitcom.

I do not attempt to orchestrate my career. I let God do that. I like horror movies. To me, they are a very legitimate place for an actor to work. It's a great arena for me to experiment, to play a range of different funky characters. I like what I'm doing and I hope it shows on the screen. Acting is a great gig. It pays well, I get to meet some nice people and it allows me to play a lot of golf. I'm a real lucky guy.
