Roy Halsey

Hick country guitarist and banjo picker from Bugtussle and recurring character played by real musician Roy Clark on several episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies.

In one episode he attains stardom, no thanks to Jethro, who's playing at being a big Hollywood agent. Jethro tries to remake his image as Blue Boy Roy and the Electric Zoo, with Halsey in a Buster Brown suit and wig, singing a very odd version of "The Great Pretender," backed by Ellie May's pet monkey on tambourine and pet bear on drums. But Halsey decides it's not for him, and Jethro rips up his contract just in time to discover that Halsey's album is a nationwide smash. [[Category:|Halsey, Roy]]
