I also have heard that Andy himself can be rather hard to get along with in real life. Kind of a curmudgeon. But, maybe that is what makes him a good actor. After all, it is his business. Maybe he has to make business decisions and has that kind of reputation. I have always heard that he and Francis (Aunt Bee) did not hit it off very well. But, on screen, they played their parts so well. That's Hollywood. And also, after reading Don Knott's book (several times now), I realize that most actors fret about where their next job is. Don was constantly worried that he would never work again. What is an endearing character to us, is a job to an actor. It must be a stressful life. "Don't that just clutch ya?"
