Knotts was working for a market plucking chickens when he was told that he wasn’t going to have a future in acting. He definitely proved them wrong when he became one of America’s most loved television personalities! He developed a reputation as an extremely hard-working actor, who was very reliable and always turned up on set prepared and ready to go!

He felt he had to prove himself every single time, and was so determined to work hard and not end up where he had in the past, that he made sure to develop such a reputation.
“Don and Danny”
Surprisingly, before Don became the household name he became through “The Andy Griffith Show”, he actually wanted to be a ventriloquist, making that his full-time career when he graduated high school.
Don And Danny
He called his doll Danny, envisioning “Don and Danny” as a catchy catchphrase. Turns out that Knott was definitely made for the duo setup but the pairing with another human was much more successful. For example, the pairing with Tim Conway was a great success, with the comedy duo making many successful films together.
