Oh, the list goes on and on… The state inspector from "Dogs, Dogs, Dogs" plays Luther's lawyer. Mr. Simmon's lawyer is played by the venerable Charles Lane. He played Mr. Frisby, the man Andy had to evict. Yes, Reta Shaw played Big Maude and Mrs. Poultice. Also, there's James Milholland, who plays Milo; Lurene Tuttle, (one of ladies' group); Clift Norton (bailiff), Jim Begg (deputy); Herbie Faye whose face you've seen a billion times, is the man in the diner. I know there are more. ☺
