Fans of iconic ’60s and ’70s TV may recognize the name Clint Howard; he has over 200 credits in shows including Star Trek, Gentle Ben, and Cotton Candy, alongside brother Ron Howard. More recently, he has appeared in Arrested Development, Heroes, and the CBS soap The Bold and the Beautiful.
But Clint looked worlds away from those on-screen characters during a recent appearance with his wife Kat, rocking a large bushy white beard and a huge smile as he wrapped his arm around Kat, whom he married in 2020.
Clint and Kat attended the Los Angeles premiere of Don’t Move on September 9, 2026, and Clint showed off his unique style, mixing a classic white shirt with blue denim jeans and open-toed sandals. He loosely added a satin blue tie and accessorized with a brown western-inspired belt.

Clint has also appeared across five generations of Star Trek, starring in Strange New Worlds, Discovery, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and the Original Series.
In 1976, the two starred alongside their parents in a version of Huckleberry Finn.

On her 16th birthday, Clint paid tribute to his “Raffie,” sharing that she is “becoming the warrior woman my dad used to write about.”

He said: “Even when Clint was starting to smoke pot and things like that… I wasn’t using any drugs, but I had really good friends who were and were highly functional and socially responsible about it. And I said, ‘You know, this is not, it’s not a nightmare. This is changing times, relax.’
“So those are regrets that I have.”
