I grew up watching Happy Days in the 1970s and I like Richie Cunningham's character portrayed by Ron Howard better than the Opie Taylor's character on the Andy Griffith Show. Besides, The Andy Griffith Show debuted in 1960, four years before I was born.

Most of the actors I remember from childhood watching TV with Dad. When they did their 2nd roles I was a teen & out with friends or doing homework, not watching as much TV

I always thought of Bill Bixby as the dad in COURTSHIP OF EDDIE"S FATHER, an important show, also the housekeeper was a female ASIAN AMERICAN for the late sixties, that was a big deal!

Why did every question add up to 99%? It's not like people could choose "no opinion".
JDnHuntsvilleAL bemibet 45 months ago
All of mine added up to 100%. You must have done something wrong. :-)

I'm 84% as well. What are the odds?

A few of these were hard to choose for me. I associate each actor equally for the choice given in #6, 7, 9, and 13.

Personally I always associated the actor Bill Bixby with the role of DAVID BANNER and not BRUCE BANNER.

Of course, everything added up to 99% and as far as #'s 2, 8, 11 and 13 go, I couldn't care less which one.

Andy Griffith is always Lonesome Rhodes (from A Face in the Crowd) and Ron Howard is always Genius (from Village of the Giants) to me.
UTZAAKE DuanneWalton 64 months ago
53% similar. Definitely Lonesome Rhodes! For me, Ron Howard is the Arrested Development narrator.
GeoRubik DuanneWalton 64 months ago
Winthrop Paroo from The Music Man. Loved his lisp.
Debby 64 months ago
53% similar. I actually think of Dark Shadows for Kate Jackson, which was not a choice.
