Guest Stars and Others Who Appeared on Only One Episode of Andy Griffith

Many movie and television stars appeared as guest stars (though they were never referred to as such on the show) on TAGS.  Among the stars that were on the show were Buddy Ebsen, Charlie Ruggles, Edgar Buchanan, Everett Sloane, Alan Hale, Jr., Bob Denver, John Dehner, Jack Albertson, Leon Ames, and many others who appeared as "guest stars" on an episode of TAGS.  Elsewhere, I think I have my Jack Nicholson autograph in the comment section.  I am not including him here because he was in two episodes.

ALAN OPPENHEIMER (1930-     ) best known as the voice of "Skeletor" and even Vanity Smurf on The Smurfs.  Those of us a bit older recognize him from his prolific performances in shows such as Hogan's Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie, Bonanza, Barney Miller, The Six Million Dollar Man, Murder She Wrote and many others.   In movies he appeared in The Hindenburg (1975), Helter Skelter (1976), Tail Gunner Joe (1977), Ghost of Flight 401 (1978) and many others.  He often used accents in his performances.  Oppenheimer had a great career as a voice actor in various cartoon series.  He appeared in the TAGS episode "Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting."  The following is an 8x10 b/w in sliver pen:

He had a lot of great parts in the 1960's and 1970's; most notable is probably The Bionic Man.

I loved the movie Westworld with Yul Brenner and Richard Benjamin.  Oppenheimer was in that and in The Hindenburg.  He was also in Get Smart lol.

That's right, Scott, he was in Westworld; one of the engineers if I recall correctly.

CLINTON SUNDBERG (1903-1987) veteran character actor in musicals such as Easter Parade, Annie Get Your Gun  The Barkleys of Broadway all without ever singing a note. On television he appeared in I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and many more. He appeared as Farley Upchurch in the TAGS episode "The Battle of Mayberry." He also appeared in an episode of Mayberry R. F. D. The character Farley Upchurch had also been played by Frank Cady. Sundberg's autograph is uncommon. This is a 1964 in person autograph:

CLINTON SUNDBERG this I decided to add because it is 10 years after the above for comparison.  This was one the in-person autographs John Verzi got in 1974.

DORIS DOWLING (1923-2004) is perhaps best known from the classic 1945 Ray Milland movie The Lost Weekend.  It was one of her earliest performances and a fine one but it did not make her career sky rocket. Her next role was in the Alan Ladd mystery The Blue Dahalia in 1946. Later she had a role in Orson Welle's movie Othello in 1951.  She appeared in many television shows such as One Step Beyond, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Have Gun Will Travel, Kojak, Barnaby Jones, Wonder Woman and many more.  She appeared on the TAGS episode "Floyd the Gay Blade" as Floyd's penpal love interest.  The is a white index card from the 1960s:

I have a few cards from this very good collection, but the person who owned them before me loved to play with an airbrushing tool to cover over the inscriptions.  It still drives me nuts.  This one was obvious, but one I bought I did not realize it was airbrushed until I saw it in person.

Scott, I still enjoy watching One Step Beyond; it's  Prime.

Permalink Reply by Scott Paul on December 14, 2022 at 3:15pm

I love One Step Beyond, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Lights Out, Boris Karloff's Thriller, and all those type of shows.  I like a lot of Night Gallery too.

VITO SCOTTI (1918-1996) perhaps best known as Nazorine in THE GODFATHER and his many television roles.  There were six episodes of Columbo.  Scotti appeared in four episodes of The Addams Family, Gunsmoke and Gilligan's Island more than any other guest star.   He did two episodes each of The Twilight Zone, The Munsters, Batman and The Golden Girls.  He was always memorable in any show he did including  Bewitched, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Odd Couple and many more.   While not really rare his autograph is uncommon.  This is from a large album page with many other signatures including the "pink" Jesse White I have posted in this discussion.
