An Earlier Film
In 1958, Don Knotts appeared with his lifelong best friend Andy Griffith in the film No Time for Sergeants. One of his earlier movies, Knotts played the goofball, as usual! It was originally a novel that inspired a Broadway play, which was then adapted for the big screen. The film may be one of the earliest in their careers, but Don and Andy proved their on-screen relationship was unmatched. The movie was a sign of great things to come.

Don And Dennis
Don Knotts and Dennis Weaver died at the same age on the same day. The two worked together multiple times during their careers. The two most notable roles that Weaver played were Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on NBC’s police drama McCloud and Chester Goode (Marshal Matt Dillon’s trusty helper) on the CBS western series Gunsmoke. He may not be arguably as famous as Don Knotts was, but two entertainment industry legends were lost on that day.
