Andy Griffith
Ben Matlock
Andrew Griffith is the son of Carl and Geneva Griffith. The family lived in Mount Airy N.C., known to many as Mayberry. His home today is a bed & breakfast and is located across the street from the Mount Airy water tower. At a young age Andy showed his many talents at the Rockford Street School Auditorium. He belonged to a singing group called "The Darlings". At first, he studied to be a preacher. Then, he decided on another career and received a music degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For a while he was a teacher and then did the Rotary circuit with a preacher act. His Broadway debut was a great success as he starred in "No Time for Sergeants". The show was later turned into a very successful movie. It was in this movie that he was first involved with Don Knotts. Then, he got the big break all celebrities wish for by becoming the star of his own TV show. The Andy Griffith Show has been suggested as the most popular TV series ever made. It was here that Don Knotts found success as Deputy Barney Fife. A very short distance from his hometown is Pilot mountain which turned around is Mount Pilot. In The Andy Griffith Show he portrayed Sheriff Andy Taylor, very possibly fashioned after Mount Airy's own Sheriff Sam Patterson. In 1994, Mount Airy, NC. was chosen by "The National Civic League" as an All-American City. If not for Mr. Griffith, Mount Airy would not even be on the map. After 'The Andy Griffith Show" ended, Andy went on to show his artistry in motion picture, stage, and TV. However he will forever be our own Andy.moreless -

Don Knotts
Les Calhoun
What does an actor do when he earns Emmy after Emmy playing a high-strung, overenthusiastic sheriff's deputy on a long-running TV comedy hit? If he's Don Knotts, he brings variations of that same character to the big screen in a succession of juvenile comedy features. This skinny, bug-eyed comic performer, adept at playing hypertense, frequently unnerved types, is a former ventriloquist who made his way to radio and the stage. He made his film debut opposite Andy Griffith in No Time for Sergeants (1958), in a memorable role he'd played previously on Broadway. He followed Griffith to series TV, finding fame as small-town deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-65), the role that earned him five Emmy awards. This fame led to his unlikely positioning as a movie star, in such broad (often kiddie-oriented) comedy vehicles as The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964, in which his character was transformed into an animated cartoon fish), The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966), The Reluctant Astronaut (1967), The Shakiest Gun in the West (1968, a remake of Bob Hope's The Paleface the misfired "adult" comedy The Love God? (1969), and How to Frame a Figg (1971). He then became part of an unofficial comic repertory company at Disney, costarring in No Deposit, No Return (1976), Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977), and Hot Lead and Cold Feet (1978), and, teamed with Tim Conway, in The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975), Gus (1976), and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again (1979). He and Conway also costarred in some nonDisney comedies, The Prize Fighter (1979) and The Private Eyes (1980). In addition to hosting his own eponymous TV variety show from 1970-71, Knotts enjoyed a long run as an irascible landlord on "Three's Company" (1979-84).moreless -
