Is this Will Geer on The Waltons or something else?
He was in Westerns, sitcoms and cop shows before and during his time as Grandpa Zeb.

Will Geer will forever be remembered as lovable Grandpa Zeb in The Waltons. The character's kind-hearted but mischievous nature was the same as the man who played him. But that wasn't always the case for Geer’s characters. After all, the veteran actor was in showbusiness for decades and even survived being blacklisted in the 1950s. He was bound to play a few bad apples!
Here are a few images of Will Geer from around the time he starred on The Waltons. Can you guess which ones are from that show and which ones are not?

12/12. Did he start acting late in life? Only remember seeing him around the age...Waltons Jeremiah Johnson Gunsmoke etc
He got caught in the blacklist, so lost opportunity for some time.
He was a stage actor, setting up a theatre in his garden so he had somewhere to perform. He was in 1954's "Salt of the Earth" about a mining strike, and many involved were on the blacklist.
Slowly in the sixties he got acting jobs on tv and in movies. He was in Seconds with Rock Hudson.
His most well known role was on the Waltons, and that happened about the time he was getting visibility.

10/12. MeTV you forgot to throw one of him playing Dr. Heidemann from A Stitch In Crime on Columbo.
7/12... there were a couple I should have known were from The Waltons and I’m kicking myself for it now.
Only missed one. The one that stumped me was that risqué photo of Greer shirtless #9 (well kinda) who could’ve imagined CBS airing such a shot of grandpa Walton shirtless back in the 1970’s? That show wasn’t the eye candy job like Charlie’s angels. lol.
You got 12 out of 12
Did you dance through this quiz or did you miss a few steps?
Grandpa Walton rarely wore a suit, so most of them were easy to figure out. I wish they would have included a picture from when he was on Bonanza.
