I was always a fan of Goober on the andy Griffith Show. He played the same character on tv continuously from 1964-1993 on the Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry, RFD, and Hee-Haw. I don't know if another actor has done the same.
i forgot the actors name, but he is on law and order svu...his character has been on other shows/channels.
I'm not sure who it is, but is it close to 30 years?
Frank Cady, who played general store owner, Sam Drucker, was the only actor to play the same character on three series: Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and Beverly Hillbillies (limited episodes).
Frank Cady is still alive. He's about 95 years old.
