About the Author:
On Labor Day 1944, Phillips says, he was brought into the world as just one among thousands of men named Robert Lee Phillips. The big difference was that the rest of them didn't get to spend the next forty years being compared to Barney Fife! When he's not in his "lawman" gear, Phillips also enjoys woodworking, country dancing, acting, and public speaking. The greatest treasure of all, he says, is the love and friendship he's found along the way, both in uniform and out.

"There just wasn't/isn't any getting away from it. They tell me, they tell me, they tell me....that I look like Don Knotts. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. But one night I wore a make-shift deputy sheriff's outfit to the dance club. Lo and behold, everyone enjoyed it. And I thought,What? Well, I began to experiment to find out if maybe there was some value in my look-alike status. Shazam! There is. People really love the Barney Fife character, and they can't get enough of it.
