When Don Knotts was told that he had no future in acting, he worked as someone who plucked chickens for a market. However, he did not give up on pursuing an acting career and he definitely proved the doubters wrong when he became one of America’s favorite television personalities! He was known for being a reliable and very hard-working actor, and he always came to work ready to go! The possible reason for this is the fact that Knotts thought he needed to prove himself every time to avoid ending up in a situation similar to the past.

Don The Ventriloquist
Before Don Knotts became a household name for his role on The Andy Griffith Show, he wanted to become a ventriloquist, and he did it full-time after getting out of high school. He named his doll Danny because he thought “Don and Danny” was quite a catchy phrase. However, Knotts found more success when he paired up with human partners, such as Tim Conway. It seems the comedy duo were perfect together and they made many films. We are definitely very happy they did and also happy Don Knotts decided to pursue acting instead of his ventriloquist career.
