I wonder if his influence helped Ron Howard (Opie/ Richard Cunningham) follow in his footsteps some.

I know Rons dad was very kind to him when it came to Hollywood and even Andy who could be mean still supported his work.

Andy Griffith could be extremely mean, its why he wore a cast in the first season cause he broke his hand hitting a wall. Some things I agree with him on, like not letting Mt. Airy claim to be the real Mayberry. Other parts like talking down to returning Vets, I cant follow.

Ron Howard released a book co-authored with his brother last year (“The Boys”) which is a really good book but I don’t remember if he mentioned Sheldon in that regard.
