Ron Howard

Director of excellence (e.g. Rush, Apollo 13) and excrescence (Angels and Demons, The Dilemna).

During an interview for Rush, Simon unfortunately refrained from telling the director about the case where a man in a coma woke up during a particularly forceful Kermodian rant for Angels and Demons.

Howard is the father of House Prices Dallas. Mark has occasionally referred to him as Richie Cunningham, his character from Happy Days, when having a senior moment.
