> Should watch that episode and compare him to Andy. Careful - Hollywood can fool ya! The movie Hondo, with John Wayne and James Arness is an example. One scene they are standing next to each other. Wayne never liked having anyone taller standing next to him. He refused to stand on a box so they dug a hole for Arness to stand in.

In the one show where the two men are selling produce out on the highway, the camera points up at Andy, making him look big and tall. With Barney, the camera points down, making him look weak and short. I've noticed it in other shows, too, but especially that one. > "This badge represents a whole lot of people that are a lot bigger than you."> Bee in New Concord, OH> (And please, someone, what is the meaning of "bread and butter" when going around a tree?> > > Brenda J.

Obviously the shortest was Johnny Silver aka Prothro Hanson (no relation to me)in the Great Filling Station Robbery.Imdb lists him as 4'11 1/2. Also remember him in Mel Brooks History of the World, has a small part as the small liar..(small lire) in the Roman Empire episode.> Anyone out there listens to Radio classics from Radio Spirits?
