* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/AndyGriffith as a supervillain-- albeit he played far worse characters in the films ''Pray for the Wildcats'' and ''Murder in Coweta County'', though he's generally known for his friendly roles. Part of it is down to Griffith's discomfort at the experience of playing Lonesome Rhodes in ''Film/AFaceInTheCrowd'' way back in 1957, which led him to avoid villainous characters for the vast majority of his career.
