All this Oscar trivia about TAGS got me to thinking about the oldest nominee.
There was an actor who appeared on TAGS that was nominated for an Academy Award
in 1936 for Best Supporting Actor. He did not win, Walter Brennan won it that
year. I know within reason that there is no one who could possibly guess
this without looking it up on IMDB.
But if you want to play the game and guess before you look it up I will give
you a hint. He appeared only once on TAGS, and he appeared the first season.
And his character's name was written in a strange place on the show.
Orville Hendricks - Peddling Butter and Eggs. You know even Andy and Barney
were just small boys in 1936 when this person was nominated.
