Biography

This face is one of the most familiar faces in Mayberry who wasn't a main character. Chester, as he was sometimes known, seemed to always be around as an antagonist of Barney. He was sometimes referred to as a "old loafer". He was hardly ever alone, but usually with other background actors such as Jud (Burt Mustin). He was also known as Jase and Choney. He was the one who tricked Barney into writing a ticket on the Governor's car. Memorable lines of this familiar charactar include "Get a Horse Barney" .....
