I met him at a bar at LAX airport once. He was mortified that I requested a Martini garnished with a twist rather than an olive.

Meet him, Tim Conway and Barnard Fox at Biltmore House when they were filming Private Eyes. My grandmother slapped him on the back real hard and said " I really like you John don knots". He took it in stride and had a good chuckle about that. He was very pleasent talking to us. It has been a family joke since.

And don't forget Pleasantville.
Although ... I'm not sure if that's him doing his own lines in it. I mean it's his face, but from what I've heard Craig Shoemaker got to do his Don Knotts impersonation for the movie. |

Didn't Morgantown, WV rename one of the major roads after him?

Andy and Barney did more to destroy the respect for American LEO's than anyone else. The cop who didn't need a gun was a genius loved by all, the cop with a gun was an idiot and a menace.

I was born in '84 but my grandparents and parents raised me off a healthy dose of Don Knotts, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, etc. I had the best childhood growing up watching those on VHS. Pretty sure we owned every Don Knotts movie. The Reluctant Astronaut is still my favorite.

Funny, I just watched a Biography about him on Youtube. He was quite the ladies man in real life. His ex wives were quite stunning! He was also a major hypochondriac. Known as a tireless worker. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/actor-don-knotts-with-his-wife-loralee-czuchna-attending-the-los-picture-id488983067?s=612x612 View Quote |

As I understand it, he frequently had LEOs give him a bullet as an homage to his "Barney Fife" character. During an interview(talk show?) he said "If you are a police officer, and you gave me a bullet, I still have it". I have to wonder how many there were and what happened to them after his death. That's my strange sense of curiosity I guess.

Don Knotts did an interview late in life and talked about the "nervous man" character that he created. He used this character in several movies and people just loved it. the hardest role in acting is being the doofus and he mastered the role.
Don't forget Shakiest Gun in the West. The red head was pretty hot. Ippity-doo, kanaba dip, double dare, knock off the chip! Now, what's this all about? You wanna know what that's all about? I'll tell you what that's all about. You knock off that chip and you'll see what it's all about. |

I think the oldest movie I saw him in was No Time for Sergeants, with Andy Griffith.

Like All in the Family, Mayberry RFD stands the test of time. A couple of shows I find myself laughing at when watching alone.
