I believe his name is Clint Howard. If I remember correctly he starred as the kid in Gentle Ben, and had a small role in Apollo 13.That is Ron Howard's brother.
WRONG:The lyrics for mash may have been used, the original intent was they were never to be used. Both Star Trek and M*A*S*H theme lyrics were written in minutes.
Steve, will you be using your new names to answer questions and the old Harper name to be a Smellfungus?WRONG:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Is_Painless
"[Suicide is Painless] was written specifically for Ken Prymus ... who sang it during the faux suicide of Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski ... in the film's "Last Supper" scene. [Director] Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for [songwriter Johnny] Mandel: first, it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless"; second, it had to be the "stupidest song ever written". Altman tried to write the lyrics himself, but found that it was too difficult for his 45-year-old brain to write "stupid enough". Instead he gave the task to his 15-year-old-son, Michael.
Altman later decided that the song worked so well, he would use it as the film's main theme, despite Mandel's initial objections."
The song was originally intended to be sung with lyrics at the faux suicide/funeral scene. Its use as the theme song sans lyrics came afterwards.
Again, you gave misinformation to the reading audience pretending for it to be accurate truth.
Despite your dismissive rejection of it, Anon1's answer in post #1476 was correct.
Canada?
That would be my guess.
No, Ron Howard did not appear on Star Trek.
That is Ron Howard's brother.

Sorry to disappoint you, my thin-skinned friend. I've only 1 handle on TERB and won't play your silly man-child games. Are you saying that I'm Anon1 or anyone else on this thread? How grossly inaccurate and simplistically-surmised by you.Steve, will you be using your new names to answer questions and the old Harper name to be a Smellfungus?
