National Board of Review Award for Best Actor
New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor

helluva signature, right there!!

True enough, but most people nowadays may not have watched Griffith in No Time for Sergeants (I’ve seen bits and pieces) or Face in the Crowd (I’ve never watched it, but plan to) or Borgnine in Marty (I’ve never watched it). However, everyone knows The Andy Griffith Show and most know McHale’s Navy (primarily from the movie remake a few years back).

It’s unfortunate, but it’s the vagaries of modern pop culture.
