Before They Were Stars: 5-Year Old Ron Howard on “The Twilight Zone”

Given that he was one of the most famous child actors of all time, you’d think it might be difficult to do a “Before They Were Stars” feature on Ron Howard. But the kid was barely out of his mother’s womb when he started acting, so this is one of his very first performances at the ripe young age of five (back when he was being billed as “Ronnie Howard”), making a guest appearance as a very awkward boy in this 1959 episode of The Twilight Zone.
