Lindsey lost out on a role to Nabors, but still made it to Mayberry anyway.

Nabors was the right choice for Gomer.

The article's title is a little misleading:

"George Lindsey said he was Hollywood's favorite second choice"

I assumed the article would go on to give other examples of George Lindsey just missing out on a part, but it didn't. It happened one time, how does that make him Hollywood's favorite second choice?

Absolutely, although Gomer was sometimes over the top on his own series, I liked him better at Wally's service station.
