>>>>Can someone tell me the name of the gentleman who is in a lot of episodes with a couple of speaking parts. In Aunt bee the warden he holds the ladder for Otis. He is in many episodes. Probably more than any other actor that's not a regular. Thanks, Frank Johnson, Centerville,Indiana <<<
Frank, howdy this is your Indiana neighbor, (Westfield IN) the Untrained Voice. That man is Tom Jacobs, half-brother of Danny Thomas (who of course spun The Andy Griffith Show off of his show). I think you are correct. He appears as much as any other background actor. I am currently making a list of his appearances. which is difficult because he is not credited. I think Paul has pointed out in the past that his only speaking parts are in Goober takes a car apart (How'd they do it Sheriff?) and once when he greets someone getting on or off a bus. His most memorable scene is when he witnesses Barney taking off a dress on main street (The Bank Job?) and Barney says "What's a matter? Haven't you ever seen a man take off a dress before?" He usually has a white hat on in street scenes. He's been seen on a Bulldozer, and at Wally's (getting mad waiting on Gomer) among various places in town. I'll let you know when I get my list finished, but I expect he may surpass Mr. Schwamp's 22 appearances.
