Actors Seen In Old TV Shows Before Their Fame:Jack Nicholson/Andy Griffith

[KittyWampus]

Aunt Bee, The Juror (1967).

This episode was on TVLand last night. Jack Nicholson plays himself as the man accused of robbing appliances from the store.

He's on trial and Aunt Bee gets on the Jury.

Sort of a 12 Angry Men thing.

Just strange to see Nicholson so young and on Andy Griffith.

But then actors have to make a start somewheres.

Sorry couldn't find a photo.

1. Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner

Both played in westerns. Nimoy played a Native American at least once.

Shatner also did an episode of The Twilight Zone.

4. Shatner was on ANOTHER TZ too ...

The one where he and a women (knowing Bill, I doubt it was his wife) get stuck alone in a small town, and resort to begging a Fortune Telling machine to tell them their fate ....

Shatner is the BEST overactor in the universe ...

3. There's a great Twilight Zone episode with Robert Redford

playing the angel of death.

5. Another Twilight Zone: Charles Bronson

It was called "Two" and featured Elizabeth Montgomery of 'Bewitched'. Great acting. Bronson had more dialogue in that half hour than he did for the rest of his career.

6. Wonder If TZ Is On DVD. That's Be A Kick Ass Christmas Present

7. Another Twilight Zone: Robert Redford

He played "death" disguised as a cop that was shot outside an old lady's front door. She wouldn't leave her house, even though it was condemned.

Redford sweet talked her into taking his hand and, well . . . she moved on to the next plane.

8. ever catch the twilight zone ep with dennis hopper?

Dennis Hopper turns in a very powerful and charismatic performance as an American neo-Nazi, Peter Vollmer, bent on doing what he has to do in order to get his message of hatemongering across to the public. But there are some weaknesses in his past that need exorcising, it seems, when a shadowy Shickelgrüber begins to instruct the fledgling fascist in the ways of oratory, politics, and self-destruction.

9. Nicholson was on another episode as well..

He played the father of an abandoned baby that Opie and Arnold found near the courthouse.
Harry Dean Stanton's an "Andy Griffith" alumni as well. He played an island burnout on an episode where Howard Sprague took early retirement as county clerk and moved to an island to relax.
