HAL SMITH
Although
he's probably best remembered as town drunk Otis Campbell on The Andy
Griffith Show, comic actor Hal Smith's resume is as long and varied
as any in Hollywood. Born in 1906, Hal played an elf onstage at age
six, and went on to appear in dozens of classic TV shows, including
Have Gun Will Travel, Perry Mason, Petticoat Junction, The Addams
Family, Green Acres, The Odd Couple, The Brady Bunch and The Dukes
of Hazzard. Like a number of his Mayberry cast mates, Smith was a
prolific voice actor as well, with parts in the animated programs
Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs and Beauty and the Beast among countless others.
Smith died of heart failure in January 1994.
