Earl Hamner Jr. is the creator of the incredible series The Waltons. He based the show on real-life experiences, so naturally, he had to make a cameo in at least one episode! Earl appears in the episode called “The Journey” during season two. John-Boy hears a story from Mrs. Maggie MacKenzie, who lovingly remembers her late husband.

Maggie shows John-Boy a photo of her late husband, Michael and the man in the photo is actually Earl! He sports a mustache so fans may not have recognized him. Later on, he appears in a very special flashback scene.
