A look back at the career of UNA ' s George Lindse} George Lindsey almost never became famous. The Jasper native was well on track for a successful career as a history teacher and coach at Hazel Green High School before he decided to follow his dream to pursue an acting career. The University of North Alabama graduate (at that time Florence State Teachers College) enrolled at the American Theatre Wing acting school in New York. Following graduation and roles in off-Broadway plays, the former Lion quarterback made his move to Los Angeles to gain roles in The Rifleman, Twilight Zone, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and the feature film Ensign Pulver. Following those small successes, Lindsey found huge success in a place called Mayberry on The Andy Griffith Show as Goober Pyle. After five years on The Andy Griffith Show, Lindsey continued with Mayberry R.F.D. After recording a com- edy album, Goober Sings, he would reprise the role on Hee-Haw for 20 years. A member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Lindsey is still some- times seen watching the gridiron action of his alma mater. Lindsey ' s involvement with sports does not end in the stands. He has helped raise over $1 million for the Special Olympics through the George Lindsey Celebrity Golf Classic, which had its inception in Montgomery in 1971. In 1992, UNA awarded an hon- orary doctorate of humane letters for his past and future involvement with the school. Lindsey has guest lectured in the department of Communications and Theatre and also helped educate through the George Lindsey Univer- sity of North Alabama Television Film Festival. The festival, started in 1998, has given students of all ages the chance to show their work and learn from such industry professionals as Ernest Borgnine, Tom Cherones and Mike Curb, Steven Root and Ray Stevens.
