-Over the years, every cast and crew member of The Andy Griffith Show has been asked if they know the name of the actor who played Mr. Schwamp. While all of them remember him, none of them knows his real name.  (And yes, Andy Griffith has been asked, as has Producer Richard Linke.) It has been found as of April 1, 2012. Patch S. Wimmers played our Mayberry Man of Mystery and  he lived near the TAGS Studio and could just walk to the studio. Patch S. Wimmers as Mr. Schwamp. Thanks to Allan Newsome for posting the answer on Facebook. A few un-named people found the answer from an obscure mention on "The Danny Thomas Show"'s credits from an episode in 1956. Tell your friends the mystery is solved. Patch S. Wimmers is the name. This is John Lane (GomerBarneyFloyd) signing off 10-4 40-10, Bye!

A few times he is called by name, but usually he's just in the background, sometimes waaaay in the background.'' The confusion over the spelling of his name arose after he was referred to as Mr.Schwump in the read through rehearsals. Upon checking, his name was written Schwamp in the scripts. It was decided to continue w/ the colloquial pronunciation, rather than Schwamp.
