Rance Howard RIP

[Jan]

Rance Howard who played David Sheridan, John's dad has passed away.

Clint & I have been blessed to be Rance Howard’s sons. Today he passed at 89. He stood especially tall 4 his ability to balance ambition w/great personal integrity. A depression-era farm boy, his passion for acting changed the course of our family history. We love & miss U Dad.

He did a great job with that part and you really felt that he loved his fictional son.

On every TV show there's always someone, guest or recurring cast, who the rest don't like. But everyone on #babylon5 loved #rancehoward. He was charming, professional, funny, smart...if we could've adopted him, we would've. His loss diminishes us. @RealRonHoward

He did a great job as the elder Sheridan. RIP.

And did some pretty good work in other stuff too. He also created Ron AND Clint Howard.
