Jim Nabors (born June 12, 1930) is an American actor, singer, and comedian.  He
is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the
good-hearted but naive character Gomer Pyle on
the two highly successful 1960s sitcoms: The Andy
Griffith Show and its spinoff Gomer Pyle,
U.S.M.C..

Nabors also appeared on a number of variety shows
in the 1960s and 1970s, most notably The Carol
Burnett Show and The Muppet Show. Carol Burnett
considered Nabors her lucky charm, and he was
always the first guest on every new season of
Carol's show. 

He is also noted for singing "Back Home Again in
Indiana" (not the official state song, contrary to
popular belief) during pre-race ceremonies for the
Indianapolis 500.

He was born in Sylacauga, Alabama and graduated
from the University of Alabama. 

As of 2005, Nabors owns and operates a macadamia
nut plantation in Hawaii.
