A Role To Remember

Don Knotts starred in the film Gus in 1976, which did well at the theaters and got released on home video back in 1981. For much of the movie, Don Knotts can be seen playing a coach who screams at his players from the sidelines. There are two sequences in the movie that most people remember it for: one set in a hotel and one involving a supermarket. Knotts managed to play a serious character who is a great motivator and also inspiring. While it may not be a role that he would usually take, it was certainly a role to remember.

Last Television Role

The last television role that Don Knotts played was the guest appearance he made on the animated show Dave the Barbarian in 2004. A big favorite of kids, the series always managed to draw in a good audience. It is about a barbarian named Dave, who goes on surreal Medieval-themed adventures with his friends and family. Knott’s voiceover was flawless, and children absolutely loved him. He would have had a successful career by doing voiceovers in cartoons if he were born at a different time.
