The Deacon's Bench
Word that the television icon, best known as the sheriff of Mayberry and father of Opie, has died at the age of 86.
People tend to forget what a spellbinding actor he could be. His standout performance in Elia Kazan’s “A Face in the Crowd” is still a stunner — and the story itself, recounting how a small town drunk became a force in politics and media, remains eerily prescient, even prophetic. Check out the trailer below.
RIP, Andy.
