In the process, I found his IMDB listing. However, no TAGS episodes are listed in his work as a stunt double. But for his acting work, one 1964 TAGS episode is listed (not named, but presumably "Barney's Sidecar") and his role given as "townsman." I checked the database on Mayberry.com, and he is credited for that show. So if he actually did stunt work on TAGS for Don, why isn't that listed on IMDB? His work as stunt double in Don's movies is listed there. Janet, The answer is simple IMDB has lots of errors and omissions. That's a lot of data to have everything 100% correct and complete all the time. As far as the way he's listed in the Griffith show credits I have no idea maybe it was a mistake, maybe he had a part other than the stunt work and it got cut, maybe they had to list him that way to get a certain kind of pay scale who knows. Johnny Coons is listed as being in an episode and he's not so there are errors in a few of the Griffith show credits. But I'd almost bet my life that in the high speed scenes of Barney on the cycle, Jerry is the one driving it not Don Knotts. As for the Mayberry.com database Alan has done a most excellent job with that but there are errors there also like Richard Bull as Bill Lindsey in "Goober Makes History" That is actually Sandy Kenyon the same guy that played George Hollander in "Opie Steps Up In Class" and that may not be Alan's fault it may be and I think it is listed that way in the credits of that episode somebody needs to check.
