"I think I just ran into the Floyd that David Barker mentioned in A Date For Gomer. At the very beginning, Andy and Opie are leaving the barber shop when they show the 3rd Floyd. It's also just before Andy explains "a…"
David Barker replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"Season 4 episode 10 they had a substitute actor playing Floyd while he was recuperating from his stroke...Howard McNair's last appearance on the show was Season 7 episode 30..."
Keevy Hazelton replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"I just came across another instance of someone else portraying Floyd. In the episode, 'Goober's Contest,' when Floyd angrily peels away from the fillin' station, there's an obvious stunt double driving the car."
David Barker replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"You are absolutely correct..there was the 3rd Floyd, later in the series, 1 episode only..can not remember which episode. I will do some digging also."
jeff Wayne replied to Jim Ham's discussion Barney a Smoker!"nice pic but how do we know thats Barney?
Andy smoked on camera many time also"
Keevy Hazelton replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"Great book, too, Mac. It was my first Andy book, purchased in the early 80's. It's so worn from use I have it held together with massive amounts of tape."
stagnation water replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"I remember the scene, too, but cannot place the episode. I'll let it percolate for awhile and see if it shakes out! :)

Keevy Hazelton replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"No, it wasn't that episode I'm sure of. Think it may be the one where Andy and Opie are coming from the movies and discussing Gregory Peck; but that's a night scene and Floyd's wasn't open at night. I'll come across…"
"Keevy, do you think that could have been that barber that was cutting hair with Floyd for awhile? Remember, the one whose friends all showed up to get their "hair cut" every day. They were always carrying a valise, I…"
"I read that Walter Baldwin was noted as being extremely nervous and was unable to remember his lines, he just did not work out and Howard McNair was hired to become the new Floyd. This is documented in The Andy Griffith Show book by Richard…"
Keevy Hazelton replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"Actually, there was a third actor who portrayed Floyd. For the life of me, I can't recall the episode but the scene is of Opie and Andy walking past the barber shop and Floyd has his back to the window. Just as Andy and Opie get to…"
Keevy Hazelton replied to jeff Wayne's discussion The Stranger"Hey Jeff- That was veteran actor Walter Baldwin's only appearance as Floyd. Howard MeNear took over the role after that. His performance was still memorable though, with one of the funniest lines of the series, imo.
Barn: "Next time I want…"

Keevy Hazelton replied to Thelscuz's discussion It's A Mystery!"He seemed to have changed very abruptly, too. To me, he seemed "cornball-ish" through the second episode of season 3, then, without warning, he was straight-man and Barney was getting most of the laughs. Aunt Bee also…"
