Don Knotts

I don't think actors get good training today. I put my training to use in everything I do.

About Me



My Interests



"I took a lot of Barney into films like the Shakiest Gun in the West and The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."
"I have no regrets about the effect that character had on me."
Don Knotts
"My idol was Jack Benny and he was the master of subtlety and timing."
Don Knotts
"No, I wasn't payed a whole lot of money for it, but I didn't feel cheated in any way; it was my first top billing in a feature length movie."
Don Knotts

"We began to do little things, have little scenes where we just talked about things that had nothing to do with the plot. In fact, in the beginning, they didn't want us to do that. But as time went on, you see that in so many shows. I think we were the first to do that."
Don Knotts
"Well, they put me in a booth and then did some nice things to the speaker to make it come out sounding ok."
Don Knotts
