Most of us remember Andy Griffith as the title character in the show which bears his name, but he also went on to have a prolific career on Broadway, winning a Tony Award. He also went on to play the lead character in another famous television series, Matlock. President George W. Bush awarded Griffith the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. Sadly, in 2012, at the age of 86 he passed away.
