bless character dreaded enjoy heard met passed picture sad shoulder stay sure talked telling walked
I was very nervous. When I first met him and walked up to him, everyone was telling me to be sure and stay in character so he can enjoy it, and I got up to him and I froze. I patted him on the shoulder and I said, 'God bless you, Mr. Knotts.' But we talked and he was very kind. We got our picture made and I got an autograph. He was a real gentleman, very cordial, very humble. I was very sad when I heard he had passed away. I always dreaded that day, because he's my hero.
barney character loved
I have always loved the character of Barney Fife.
appearing associate brilliant call deep geek guy insecure macho maybe nice overcome people plus relate themselves tough tries type
We call him the pencil-neck geek type of person but I think so many of us relate to him because he's maybe insecure but he tries to overcome it by appearing more macho than he really is, more brilliant and more intelligent, a tough guy but deep down he is insecure. Plus I think he's just the nice guy a lot of people just like to associate themselves with.
