>>>Please stop me if this has been covered before, but I thought I saw a fellow in a barber's smock sitting out in front of Floyd's who was neither our beloved Howard Mcnair, nor the first Floyd (who's name escapes me) in the the episode where Opie was sweet on Thelma Lou, did anyone else notice if there were more than two actors who've portrayed Floyd? >>>
The first actor to play Floyd was Walter Baldwin, but he "couldn't cut it" and was replaced by the "real" Floyd, Howard McNear after just one episode. There wasn't a third actor to play Floyd, but a stand-in (double) was used for Howard McNear in many scenes, such as when the character was required to drive a car. It's common practice for every major character in most shows to have a stand-in, so the stars can take a break in scenes, for example, where their back is to the camera for an entire scene.
