Shocking Facts About Don Knotts

Where the Chickens Come To Roost

Some people get their first job is at a McDonald’s. Some people never get a job and live at their parent’s house their whole life. Don Kotts did neither. In his early life, Knotts took a job plucking chickens for a market (some jerk had said he did not have a career in acting).

Of course the five-time Primetime Emmy awards for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy proved everyone wrong. The self-made actor was known as a reliable and hard worker in Hollywood. He was known less as a chicken plucker in later years, of course.
