I read somewhere he was very bright, college educated with a few degrees.. Not every one was college educated in the 1940's. I always wonder how he ended up playing a simpleton on Andy Griffith Show.

Morris also made an appearance as "George," a TV repairman, on TAGS. Most of his lines consisted of just "Yeah."

Education has very little (if anything) to do with it. Howard Morris, George Lindsey, Bob Denver, Tom Lester and Max Baer Jr. are all best known for playing characters that weren't all that intelligent but in real life were highly educated with Denver and Lester having jobs as teachers before getting into acting.
