The character of Andy Griffith - a reflection of a great man

Andy Griffith, one of my favourite actors, passed away today. Far more important than his acting is his character, and the people and issues he chose to support. He will be greatly missed, for decades if not centuries.

Andy Griffith, beloved star of ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ and creator of Mayberry, dies at 86 - The Washington Post: "Griffith also dappled in Democratic politics, appearing in 2008 in an Obama campaign video directed by Howard and featuring the former child star chatting with Griffith and other former TV colleagues. Two years later, he made a commercial praising the president’s health care legislation."
