<p>CHARLES P. THOMPSON (1891-1979) appeared as Old Asa the bank security guard in Mayberry. He is called "Asa" in four episodes and in two later ones he is "Dr. Roberts." He is just "Asa" in one episode, Asa Breeney/Breeny in three episodes and Asa Bascomb in one. That is one of the hazards of continuity when there are often different writers.

<p><span><strong>DICK ELLIOTT</strong> (1886-1961) appeared in 11 early episodes of </span><em><span>The Andy Griffith Show</span></em><span> as Mayor Pike. He began his acting career as a character actor in mostly bit-part roles starting in 1933. He established him so that by the late 1930s, he got some credited roles, including the Jimmy Stewart classic </span><em><span>Mr. Smith Goes to Washington </span></em><span>(1939). He had a more prominent role as "Judge Crowthers" in the Barbara Stanwix classic </span><em><span>A Christmas in Connecticut</span></em><span> (1945). In 1946, he had a minor part as a man on a porch in Jimmy Stewart's </span><em><span>It's a Wonderful Life. </span></em><span>With the advent of television, Elliott found steady work as a doctor, businessman, judge, and mayor. He was in three episodes of </span><em><span>The Adventures of Superman</span></em><span>. Elliot worked on several television westerns before landing his signature role as Mayberry's Mayor Pike in 1960. There can be little doubt that, but for his death in 1961, he would have appeared on many more episodes of TAGS. His last appearance was in the episode "The Manicurist" with Barbara Eden, which aired in 1962 after his death. As a general rule, Mayor Pike is treated much kinder than his successor, Mayor Stoner (Parley Baer). Andy Griffith always hated the idea of a mayor and correctly argued that a sheriff was a county official and did not have to answer to a town mayor. Andy said it was the only major argument he and Sheldon Leonard ever had. Leonard believed that for a comedy to work, you needed a threat from an authority figure. In the end, Andy won. </span></p>
<p><span>As far as autographs are concerned material on Elliott is scarce though it does pop up. </span><span> This is an autographed program from a play. </span></p>

<p>HOWARD MCNEAR (1905-1969) with the exception of Don Knotts perhaps no other TAGS character is as beloved as Howard McNear aka Floyd Lawson the barber of Mayberry.

McNear was part of the radio show Gunsmoke where he played "Doc Adams." He was a character actor who appeared in numerous movies and television shows in the 1950s and 1960s. One credited role was in the Jimmy Stewart comedy <em>Bell, Book and Candle</em> (1958). In 1959 he was in another Jimmy Stewart movie this time the classic <em>Anatomy of a Murder</em> playing Dr. Dompierre. His was among the very controversial scenes in the movie since both he and Jimmy Stewart use the word "sperm." Jimmy showing a pair of lady's panties was another shocking scene. McNear played his role in a serious and realistic fashion proving he was not just Floyd the Barber. </p>
<p>McNear certainly will first and foremost be remembered for bringing to life Floyd Lawson. When McNear suffered a debilitating stroke, it was Andy Griffith who refused to give up on him. Andy made sure that when McNear returned his scenes would be shot so he was either sitting or was filmed sitting on a specially built stool that could not be seen. He also often had something in his left hand. He was featured in his last entitled "Goober's Contest" episode that aired April 10, 1967. Floyd then retired and Emmett Clark (Paul Hartman) buys his barbershop and makes it into "Emmett's Fixit Shop." Less than two years later just before his 64th birthday McNear died on January 3, 1969.</p>
<p>Of the dozen major actors/actresses who appeared in at least 20 episodes (not counting announcer Colin Male or extra Tom Jacobs) on <em>The Andy Griffith Show</em> his is the rarest autograph. This is my McNear a pre-stroke example.</p>

In 1971 he appeared as "Stokes" in the Lon Chaney, Jr. and John Carradine horror film House of the Black Death. On television he appeared on <em>The Donna Reed Show, Perry Mason, The Man from U. N.C. L. E., The Real McCoys, Bat Masterson, Have Gun Will Travel</em>, among others. On <em>The Andy Griffith Show</em> he was in five episodes. If we assume he is playing the same man in each of the episodes he is called "Sam" in his first three appearances. In the fourth "Aunt Bee's Brief Encounter" (1961) he is Mr. Murray a travelling repairman, tinker, etc. In the fifth he is Merle a town councilman. Like many character and bit part players his autograph is rare in any form. This is from a document in 1958.</p>
