Say the name Andy Griffith, and you've said something about America.

Griffith, who, as Sheriff Andy Taylor on the actor's namesake 1960s TV comedy, kept the peace, and represented a heartland ideal, died Tuesday, the actor's friend Bill Friday told WITN News. He was 86.

In addition to The Andy Griffith Show, Griffith created a darkly iconic character in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd and won fans in the long-running whodunit series Matlock. But, in the end, it was Mayberry that put him on the map.

Hey Andy...tell Goober and Aunt Bea I said "Hey". (George Lindsey, the guy who portrayed Goober died in early May BTW)
