So like any good, closeted young lesbian of the Seventies, I developed a raging crush on Ron Howard from Happy Days.
—Jane Lynch, from her memoirs, Happy Accidents

So remember that Opie kid from The Andy Griffith Show? He grew up to star in Happy Days and discovered while being one of the biggest sitcom stars in the world that he liked directing. He's good at it too - good enough to win an Oscar.

Some of his films include:

Many awards. Big Ears. Narrator on Arrested Development.
