Jim had a long career in tv and movies. He was best remembered for his character Ernest P Worrell, the lovable and not so bright klutzy guy. Ernest started out in numerous commercials, then Ernest went on to a TV series and movies. Ernest was a funny memorable character.
But so was Jim Varney, he had an established career before Ernest, and he was a very talented man . I hate to date myself but I have memories of Jim in the early eighties as Chad Everett's brother on TV series called The Rousters. And of course how about Jim as the sweet family patriarch Jed Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies movie.
Jim worked with the community and visited sick children in his "Ernest " persona,he worked with Make A Wish to help terminally ill children get their wishes. Jim was a good guy.
