In September 1991 Prince reprised his role of Rafe Hollister on TNN's Nashville Now. He and Hal Smith , who played town drunk Otis Campbell on The Andy Griffith Show , appeared together in a jail skit, and Prince sang The Lonesome Road , a song heard in the Rafe Hollister Sings episode.
Although Prince rejected becoming a Mayberry star as Rafe Hollister - and possibly a future where he became a singing sensation with his own show like Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle - he still became a familiar face to fans of the show.
