Guest Stars and Others Who Appeared on Only One Episode of TAGS.

There were many movie and television stars that appeared as guest stars (though never called that on the show) on TAGS. Hopefully others will add their autographs of stars like Buddy Ebsen, Charlie Ruggles, Edgar Buchanan, Everett Sloane, Alan Hale, Jr.,Bob Denver, John Dehner and many others who appeared as "guest stars" on an episode of TAGS. Elsewhere I think in the comment section I have my Jack Nicholson autograph. I am not including him here because he was in two episodes.

Julie Adams is one of those stars she appeared in a very popular episode "The County Nurse." I have had the pleasure of meeting her various times and she is one of the nicest stars I have encountered. She spoke very highly of Andy Griffith and how much she enjoyed working with him. She would go on to play Jimmy Stewart's wife in The Jimmy Stewart Show. She also appeared in a reoccurring role as the man-crazy real estate agent on Angela Lansbury's Murder She Wrote. Horror fans remember best as Kay Lawrence in the Universal Productions Creature From the Black Lagoon. This photograph is one I got from Miss Adams at her first Monster Bash Conference in Pittsburgh a few years ago.

RICHARD VATH (1925-2005) is best known for the Sci-Fi movie Creation of the Humanoids in 1962. He also had a part in the classic When Worlds Collide in 1951. The following year he had a role in the Cold War thriller Red Snow. His television work included five episodes of the western Death Valley Days, including starring in the season seven episode "The Newspaper That Went to Jail" in 1959. His 35-year acting career included television shows like Sky King, Ben Casey, Highway Patrol, Navy Log, Harbor Command, Hunter and The Scarecrow, and Mrs. King. Vath also appeared in a 1965 episode of the classic comedy Bewitched. His appearance on The Andy Griffith Show occurred in season two. Playing the beleaguered attorney for an insufferable Mr. Jackson played by the great Roy Roberts. Vath's career as one of those stalwart supporting players meant few autograph hounds tried very hard to seek him out. John Verzi was one of those, and this one was from an equally determined New York in-person collector.

ROY JENSON (1927-2007) was a prolific actor and stuntman appearing on scores of television shows and movies. Jenson was one of those faces you recognized but did not know the name of. He often played a policeman or authority figure. Jenson was in shows such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Wild, Wild West, The Outer Limits, Batman, Little House on the Prarie, and many more. He was in movies such as Chinatown, Soylent Green, 13 Ghosts, Apache Uprising, and several others. He played State Trooper Leroy Miller in the 1967 TAGS episode "Andy's Investment." This is a Star Trek Original Series A57 autograph card from when he played "Cloud William." These are great but are getting expensive.
