5 | He played quarterback on the Florence State Teachers College (now University of North Alabama) football team. |

13 | TV Land's Star Trek (1966) marathon on November 17th, 2006, had comments by the actors. Leonard Nimoy's stunner was that Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play "Spock" was George Lindsey. He turned the part down and the rest is history. |

15 | Former high school teacher and briefly a stand-up comic. |
16 | Disney used his talents in a handful of projects, both as comedy support in features and giving vocal life to a few of their animated characters. |
17 | Although Lindsey has pretty much made a career out of playing variations of his most famous character, Goober from the 'Andy Griffith Show (1963)' -- a genial, good-hearted but somewhat slow-witted hick--Lindsey has a Bachelors Degree in Bioscience from the University of North Alabama and was a science teacher before deciding to become an actor. |
