Clint Howard On His B&B Appearances

“You’re handed a lot of scenes to do and you’d better be prepared,” he relayed to the outlet. “I was taught by both my mom and dad, Rance and Jean Howard, since I was a little kid that my primary responsibility is to be prepared to show up to work, even as a very young child…And then knowing that soap operas, it’s possible to get handed boatloads of dialogue, and you’ve got to learn it. You’ve got to understand it. You got to be able to deliver it. You got to be light on your feet.”

Despite the accelerated production pace, Howard, who’ll appear in scenes opposite Tanner Novlan’s Finn and Sean Kanan’s Deacon, found the shoot “exhilarating.”

B&B isn’t Howard’s first exposure to the inner workings of a daytime soap — he previously toiled on three episodes of NBC’s much lamented Santa Barbara. Of his previous stint he recalls: “That was a freedom. That was another lifetime ago. didn’t have as much to do on Santa Barbara as I did on Bold and The Beautiful, and I haven’t gone back and looked at it. I don’t even know if I could.”
