That's in "Family Visit." Uncle Ollie has just roared away in the squad car, sy-reens a-blastin', and when Andy rushes out to the street he sees Floyd, and asks if he can borrow his car. Floyd has only a couple of lines, but Howard McNear's performance in that brief scene is brilliant. ------------------------------ >>>Hi, I have been watching quite a few of my DVD's lately and have noticed >>>another character actor that appears in alot of episodes.I was wondering if >>>any of you trained experts can tell me his name.

It's hard to get an exact count because sometimes his character's name is not mentioned, and it's uncertain whether he's supposed to be the same person from a previous episode or a new character altogether. For the curious, Mary Lansing comes in second. She played about 11 different Mayberry women before finally landing the permanent role of Martha Clark. Allan Melvin comes in third with eight different roles, most of which were bad guys.
