No Time for Sergeants
One of the earlier films Knotts appeared in was the 1958 film No Time for Sergeants, which was also one of the first times we get to see Griffith and Knotts on screen together.

The film is based on a Broadway play which was inspired by the original novel of the same name, with Knotts playing the goofy character of the group as usual. Even though it was one of their first movies in both of their careers, it was a great demonstration of what a great on-screen relationship Knotts and Griffith had together. A good sign of things to come.
Dennis Weaver and Don Knotts
Dennis Weaver and Don Knotts actually sadly died on the same day and at the same age. The two worked together numerous times throughout their respective careers, and the world definitely lost two legends on that day.

Weaver was a highly esteemed and much loved actor, though arguably not quite as much as Knotts. He was most known for his role in CBS Western “Gunsmoke” where he played Chester Goode, Marshal Matt Dillon’s trusty helper, and for his role as Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the NBC police drama “McCloud”.
