1 question in Barney and the Governor

(63 votes)

Answer: In the shot inside the courthouse, when Governor Ed shakes Barney's hand, it's presumed the young man with the Governor is his aide or personal assistant. The young man is carrying an attache case which likely belongs to the Governor, and earlier the Governor told Andy that he had some business in the vicinity. Note, at the start of the scene, right before Barney and Andy walk into the courthouse to meet Governor Ed, his chauffeur (played by Rance Howard, who is Ron Howard's real-life dad) is standing beside the Governor's car.

Clara: Groovy.
