And I love it.It happens all the time to the best of performers in movies and television when cameras roll on but for a second the performer is caught out of character.It s good because it shows the character more realistic.On two ocassions I caught Andy out of character.Look at one of the last shows The Wedding the very last scene with Emmett dancin up a storm .Look at Andy being egged on.You'll see him smiling nearly cracking up out of character completely out of character but very convining and realistic.Now in Goobers Contest the scene and this I believe could had an outake left in as I can't explain why Andy looks this way we hear Floyd complaining to Goober while sitting in his car at the pumps.look at the second long shot of Andy looking genuinely pained.I'm a good guesser and I'm piecing this together.my hunch is since this is one of the last scenes our beloved Howard McNear would film in his last episode you can see the effort the difficulty speaking due to his stroke.tho the shot of Andy is out of place it shows in my opinon his natural reaction to his good friend Howard tryng to make an effort to speak.its sad yes but still a well played episode.Andy and Howard I heard were close friends and rightly so. There are other scenes of actors out of character be it in this grand show or elsewhere.I applaud these hidden gems .It makes the scene more realistic.And on a personal note.Thank you friends for your kind words and prayers.
