Perhaps the most well- known supporting cast member on the Andy Griffith Show, however, is Otis Campbell, the town drunk, expertly portrayed by Hal Smith. Otis regularly slept in the Mayberry Jail, letting himself in and out with his own keys. Among the many guest stars who appear in guest roles on various episodes in this DVD set are George Kennedy and Howard Morris.
