However, she is not making great strides in the film industry yet and prefers to keep a low profile when it comes to sharing details about her life.

Ron is also a director, producer, and screenwriter who has been active in the entertainment industry since 1956. He started as a child actor in the ’50s, playing mostly guest roles in TV series, including The Twilight Zone. His first breakthrough came with his role as the young Opie Taylor in the sitcom The Andy Griffith Show from 1960 to 1968.

Who Are Jocelyn Howard Siblings?

Jocelyn Howard has three siblings. They include her twin sister, Paige, her elder sister named Bryce Dallas and a younger brother named Reese Cross.

She and Paige share the same middle name, Carlyle as a tribute to their place of conception, Hotel Carlyle in New York. The same thing applies to her other siblings, Bryce Dallas, and Reed Cross who got their middle names from the places where their parents conceived them.

Jocelyn’s twin sister, Paige Carlyle is also a popular actress in her own right. Paige has been acting for more than a decade and it looks like she wants to build a robust career out of her talent as an actress. Jocelyn and her twin sister have worked together on a TV project titled Arrested Development which happens to be the only one for her at this time. Paige on the other hand has played roles in other projects like Adventureland and Cheesecake Casserole.

Jocelyn and her twin sister, Paige, are close with an incredibly strong bond; relying on each other for emotional support. From a young age, the two sisters were inseparable, and Paige was often seen as the protective older sister. The Howard twins make it a point to spend time together whenever possible, whether it’s taking trips or simply enjoying dinner out. Despite their different interests, passions, and hobbies, the two remain close and continue to share an unbreakable bond.

Jocelyn Howard also has an elder sister named Bryce Dallas and a younger brother named Reese Cross. All the siblings have played one role or the other in the entertainment industry. Jocelyn’s elder sister, Bryce Dallas was conceived while her parents were in the Texan city of Dallas, thus her middle name, Dallas. Bryce is an American actress who has been active in the industry since 1989. She is more popular than the other Howard siblings as she has gained strong ground in the movie industry. Some of Bryce’s movies include The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), Jurassic World (2015), and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) to mention a few.

The only son of the Howard household is Reese Cross who was named after a street in London. He was actually conceived in a Volvo but his parents thought the name would be weird and opted for the London street name instead. Just like his sisters, Reese is also an actor. He doubles as a movie producer, writer, and director with great potential to excel in the competitive industry.

What Does Jocelyn Howard do for a Living?

Jocelyn may be described as an actress but she has only one credit to her name in that regard. She appeared alongside her twin sister, Paige in a single episode of Arrested Development in 2018 and that remains her first and only appearance as an actress so far.

She may come from a family with deep roots in Hollywood but Jocelynn seems to be uninterested in the industry. However, her siblings seem to be serious about making it in the industry. So far, Jocelyn has maintained a low profile when it comes to details about her professional life. Thus, we can’t say what she has been up to in the corporate world.
