 Andy Griffith at Hollywood.com
Griffith's first feature film, though, was much more provocative--Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd" (1957)--wherein the star boldly and successfully explored the underbelly of his emerging image as Lonesome Rhodes, a small-town yokel turned national media celebrity turned egotistical Frankenstein's monster.
Griffith did, however, form a production company, Andy Griffith Enterprises, and he kept very busy in TV-movies in which he deliberately--and often with success--attempted now and then to vary or expand the kind of roles he usually played.
Griffith reprised the role in several TV-movies, and this self-effacing star, a Will Rogers for the home electronics era, finally received a measure of acclaim when he was inducted in the TV Academy Hall of Fame in 1992.
