Brad’s 4 Shots From 4 Films – Happy 100th Birthday, Andy Griffith!


Today would have been Andy Griffith’s 100th birthday! I love The Andy Griffith Show so much. It’s one of those shows that just makes me feel good on the inside, as the warmth of its homespun nostalgia still echoes to this very day. At least it does in my house. I’ve seen every episode of the series at least 3 or 4 times in my life, and I’ll often bring various scenes or sayings up in my daily conversations. 

As is the case for all people, Andy Griffith was a much more complicated man than his Sheriff Andy Taylor from the classic series. And his many other roles were also more diverse upon a further inspection. What we can be sure about is that Andy Griffith is an icon of American television, and I celebrate him today with 4 Shots from 4 Films! 

As “Lonesome Rhodes” in A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957)
As Sheriff Andy Taylor on the “Mr. McBeevee” episode of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW which premiered on October 1st, 1962
As the evil John Wallace in MURDER IN COWETA COUNTY (1983)
As Ben Matlock in the MATLOCK series which ran from 1986-1995
