3. In the episode "Banjo Playing Deputy", this movie bad guy was a thief and carnival worker. He might best be remembered for "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly."

Answer: Lee Van Cleef

Van Cleef was a busy actor before his appearance on the Andy Griffith show, appearing in guest roles on western TV shows, such as "The Rifleman", "Have Gun Will Travel" and many others. A leg injury forced him into semi retirement for awhile, but Italian director Sergio Leone signed him for a villain role in his spaghetti westerns, and he became a major star of the genre.

He passed away in 1986.

Answer: Everett Sloane

Sloane also wrote lyrics for the show's theme song. Andy Griffith recorded the song, with lyrics, but it was never used for the show.

5. This fine actor appeared as promoter Fred Gibson in "Wyatt Earp Rides Again". He was also Commissioner Gordon in four of the "Batman" movies. Who was he?

A veteran broadway actor, Pat Hingle made his first film appearance in "On the Waterfront". A short time later he landed a role in "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof". He made hundreds of tv guest appearances, including replacing Milburn Stone's "Doc Adams" on gunsmoke for a short time. He passed away in 2009.
