Don Knotts’ Barney Fife Statue
Millions of people loved the character that he played in the famous sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show, to the point that Tom Hellebrand, a talented artist, made a statue of Barney Fife. However, it had to be immediately taken down after Paramount Studio did not allow the artist to make a figure of a fictional character that was used in one of its television shows. Well, just look at the picture and see the masterpiece that the world could have had if only the making of the statue got finished.
