Q: I am curious about what happened to the actors who starred opposite the late Andy Griffith on "Matlock."
Given that "Matlock" really was all about Andy Griffith, there were a number of different supporting stars cast that backed him up over the show's nine hit seasons. The three longest-running ones were Nancy Stafford (who played Ben Matlock's legal partner Michelle), Julie Sommars (who played Matlock's friend and adversary, assistant district attorney Julie March), and Clarence Gilyard Jr. (who played private investigator Conrad McMasters).
