Something I found Out

[Hobie Hartkins]

Hey, guess who has the same birthday as Catherine Bach??? Opie! ( Ron Howard)….I just found out about this. You guys may have known but I thought it was interesting!

I didn't know that. They weren't born the same year were they? 

So, little Opie met Uncle Jesse before Daisy did......and before he was called Uncle Jesse. How did you spell it anyways? Was it Drisco or Brisco Darling?

Believe it or not, they were born on the same day: March 1, 1954.

Ron(ny) Howard appeared as Opie Taylor in 225 episodes of 'The Andy Griffith Show', while Denver only appeared as Briscoe Darling in six. As far as I can see, the first show that they're both credited in was Denver's second episode, 'Mountain Wedding', in 1963, but I don't think they shared any screen time. In fact, flicking through the episode, I can only see Ronny in the opening credits. If anyone has the time to watch it through fully, I stand to be corrected.
