Bryce Dallas Howard Supports Dad Ron Howard's Acting Return in 'The Studio'

Bryce Dallas Howard expressed significant nerves and protective instincts regarding her father, Ron Howard, returning to acting for a cameo on the Apple TV+ series 'The Studio,' marking his first major acting role in decades. Despite her concerns, she accompanied him to set, ensured he was comfortable, and even approved his wardrobe, joking that she acted as a 'momager.' Bryce and others on set were ultimately impressed by Ron's performance, noting he was 'so on point' that the cast and crew were surprised by his skill. In the episode, Ron played a heightened version of himself in a comedic confrontation with Seth Rogen's character, which included a memorable moment where Ron threw his signature hat during a heated exchange. Both Seth Rogen and castmate Ike Barinholtz praised Ron's dedication and the stories he shared on set, with Ron himself stating he 'had such a blast' filming the cameo. Bryce humorously suggested her father's collaboration with Tom Hanks over the years may have influenced his strong performance.
