A fun photo of the day in '97 when #AndyGriffith and #DonKnotts surprised me with a visit to the set of #Ransom in #Queens.
Andy was like a wonderful uncle to me. He created an atmosphere of hard work and fun that I try to bring to my movies.
It was so much a function of kind of a singular creative voice... it was tailored to his sensibility.
How lucky was I to grow up in that situation where the actors were set up ... to participate, make suggestions?
