The Ever-Changing Faces of One Character, Actors Who Took On Multiple Roles


Recommended Posts

Add any you can find! I was watching the first Malcolm Merriweather episode this morning and the guy who’s truck Malcolm ran into was Fletch. Only this Fletch was a much younger guy with black hair. Add anyone who has played a multitude of characters on the show.

 

The various men who played Fletch

Willis Bouchey/Fletch Roberts — also played Charlie O’Malley, Mr. Carter, Mr. Brady

Jon Lormer/Fletch Dillbeck — also played Parnell Rigsby, Tate Fletcher

Robert McQuain — Fletch Roberts

Mr. Hendricks, the butter & egg man Aunt Bee had a date with in “Aunt Bee’s Invisible Beau”.... LOL.... is now selling a church organ to Andy and Warren as Harlan Robinson. Woody Chambliss had a long career in TV.

Howard Morris was not only Ernest T. Bass (It's me, it's me, it's Ernest T.!), but he was also George the TV repairman, the voice of Leonard Blush, and the voice of a radio announcer.  He also directed several episodes.

Jack Prince also played another moonshiner called Luke, as well as an unnamed customer at the rummage sale they had to save the Scobey's house.  He had an amazing voice -- too bad he only sang on the one episode as Rafe.

Robert Emhardt played two roles.... but unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, he is wearing the same suit and driving the same car, several seasons apart.

- The Foster Lady (1966) ... Willard Foster

- Man in a Hurry (1963) ... Malcolm Tucker

And both times, he has car trouble! Gomer needed the as-yet-unseen Goober’s help.

The Sermon for Today (1963) ... Luther
