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.

I didn’t know he played Chaka on LOTL.
Learn something new everyday
Isn’t Cruz an anchor baby in Canada?
That has got to be the uninformed statement I have read to date.
No skin off my back. But I would note that it makes you look uninformed.
Cruz 2016
Canada registered his birth by their laws. His mother is a USA citizen, which makes him one, also.
Of course he renounced his Canadian citizenship...he isn’t a citizen of Canada. He was born there, he didn’t live there, participate in the school system, or vote in any of their elections.
Are you daft?
*** Are you daft? ***
Switch to the ad hominem attacks much?
I live in Texas, and supported, and voted for Cruz when he ran for the U.S. Senate here. He never said he was born in Canada, or anything about dual citizenship. He won here because of Palin’s endorsement.
Some of us Texans are wondering if we bought a Pig in a Poke with Cruz.
*** Ted Cruz is Catching Fire. ***
Yeah, Pants on Fire!
He didn’t say he was born in Canada because it isn’t relevant.
I don’t care where he was born, he is a citizen. He memorized the Constitution before he graduated high school, he knows it backwards and forwards and his record proves he fights for its content.
If the only reason you voted for him was because of Palin.....never mind...weak minds aren’t worth my time.

I supported him prior to the Palin endorsement. You have a reading comprehension problem, and ad hominems, I feel pity for you.
I read what you posted...and I answered accordingly.
You voted for him because of a Palin endorsement. How stupid is that? You let all of the media choose your candidate?
I’m sick of sheeple.
I did not say I supported Cruz because of Palin’s endorsement. I said Cruz won Texas because of Palin’s endorsement.
This leads me to believe you have no interest in open, honest, assertive communication w/ those who do not support your Candidate.
We also had ex-Dem. Willkie in 1940, who really never got over his “democratic” tendencies.
