Hey Rob,
Can you please add his son, Ronald Howard? Was in the hit Sherlock Holmes TV adaptation and a bunch of noteworthy films too. He gets listed as 6ft and often looks close...
What do you think?

Editor RobI remember seeing him recently in an old Robin Hood episode and near 6ft looks reasonable for him.

Can't believe it was nearly 3 years ago this was added,for a long time there wans't a page on here! Seems about right, I'd have guessed 5'10 range and 150 pounds.

Editor Rob a lot of the time it is easy to forget some names that have been added, I certainly have a good idea of them, but a percentage I will have forgotten, especially with nearly 10,000 entries now.

Didn´t look over 1`78 to me.
Still wonder how Vivien Leigh was so crazy about him in Gone with the wind. Specially since she had Clark Gable. Well, I guess she just got the craving. NAughty girl.

I would have said this was right, always looked a tallish guy back in the day, thought he was a bit wooden as an actor though
