HOUSTON, Texas - Today the Cruz for President campaign announced the endorsement of actor Clint Howard. Howard is an actor who has starred in over 200 films over the past 50 years including How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Apollo 13.
"Clint Howard is an excellent actor and a true patriot," Cruz said. "It is encouraging to see members of Hollywood stand up for principle. Our country is in desperate need of leaders who will guide us toward what is moral and right and Clint is one of those leaders. He understands where our country is headed and what needs to be done and I truly appreciate his support."
"When candidates began declaring their intentions to run for President, I started doing research and quickly landed on Ted Cruz. I discovered a guy who has deep conviction for a set of principles and ideas I believe in," Clint said. "I like Mr. Cruz because he has courage to fight and take the flak from people who want to undermine those ideas. He’s not only unafraid, he’s anxious to engage these people in a dialogue that puts truth and common sense into the conversation. And then, there’s old fashion ‘leadership’. As the campaign heats up, it’s clear to me that Ted Cruz has what it takes to give our great nation the leadership she deserves."
Howard was born in Burbank, California, the son of actors Rance Howard and Jean Speegle Howard, and the younger brother of actor-director-producer Ron Howard. Clint Howard began his career when he was two, appearing in five episodes of the Andy Griffith Show. As he grew older, he appeared on various shows such as Breaking Point, The Fugitive, Gentle Ben, Night Gallery, various Star Trek episodes, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, and My Name is Earl.
In his film debut he appeared on The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and has since been in Grand Theft Auto, Cocoon, Gun Ho, Backdraft, Parenthood, The Waterboy, Austin Powers, and many more.
Howard is outspoken about his views of conservatism in Hollywood in the midst of much backlash and trepidation.

Clint played Leon on Andy Griffith, the kid wandering around town offering people a bite of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Sounds just like Donald Trump
I didn’t know Clint is “conservative”, Ronny surely is not.
Shouldn’t this be in the humor section?
Well, you sure have a crappy attitude and I truly hope that i’ve stunk up your evening ...cheers !
Well I do remember Leon from TAGS. He didn’t talk much, wore his western apparel, IIRC.
You post: “Yawn ... quit wasting bandwidth” on a positive thread posting and I have a crappy attitude?
Talk about projection.
already been posted by other anti-Trump Democrat trolls.
As usual, you’re a day late and dollar short.
Got a deal for ya then, Trump can take all the super models (male and female) and Cruz can take the rest.
It’s a non-story , a true waste of bandwidth ... your response was the only thing crappy and was very insulting to all of the Patriotic Trump supporters that want to Make America Great Again ... just step back , take a deep breath, and join us
Trump is only candidate we have running who’s ever been a Democrat.
“Clint Howard is fat, ugly, and stupid and not a real conservative. He’s a bad person.”
I met him once while waiting in line to see Cheap Trick. Turns out, we’re both huge fans. Seemed okay to me.
“Trump is only candidate we have running who’s ever been a Democrat.”
You mean like Ronald Reagan when he ran, right?
Thanks for the invite, but I don’t vote for liberals.
Is this a joke?
Neither do we , that’s why we are supporting Trump ... all the others are open-borders globalists , including Cruz
“look at the rats running around with fish heads...fish heads, fish heads.”
This Cruzer reminds that we have had a great Republican President who had been a New Deal FDR Democrat.
