Where To Watch
Who is in this scene: Little Ronny Howard or Bill Mumy?
For many viewers in the '60s, these child actors had them seeing double.
In the 1960s, little Ronny Howard was a star on the mega-hit sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. By the time the decade was over, though, audiences were introduced to another redheaded child star: Bill Mumy on Lost in Space. For anyone who regularly missed episodes of either show, it could be easy to get the two '60s kids confused.
That's why we assembled some of their best appearances on other hit shows, like Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone and Big Valley, to try and stump you.
Think you can tell two of TV's top child stars apart? Take the quiz and find out!

I would've gotten 12/12 if my finger hadn't slipped on #5. I have no trouble distinguishing Billy from Ronny. Of course, there's one former 1980s child actor who has something in common with Bill Mumy: Wil Wheaton. Wheaton also appeared on sci-fi TV show playing a smart alec kid traveling through space with his redheaded Mom, a pompous old man, and a silly robot.
Easy quiz 12/12.
12/12 These guys look nothing alike. How would anyone confuse the two?
Thank you! That was fun they both were cute very talented little boys 😊❤
Now they're two 68 year old men. Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future.
