Andrew "Andy" Clyde (March 25, 1892 — May 18, 1967) was a Scottish movie and TV actor whose career spanned more than four decades. He broke into silent films in 1925 as a Mack Sennett comic. Clyde's mastery of makeup allowed him tremendous versatility; he could play everything from grubby young guttersnipes to old crackpot scientists.

Clyde hit upon an "old man" characterization in his short comedies, which were immediately successful. Adopting a gray wig and mustache, he used this makeup for the rest of his short-subject career, and the character was so durable that he literally grew into it. Clyde's long series of Columbia Pictures comedies began in 1934 and continued until 1956. He outlasted every comedian on the Columbia payroll except The Three Stooges.

Andy Clyde also kept busy as a character actor in feature films; for example, he played a sad provincial postman in the Katharine Hepburn film The Little Minister and Charles Coburn's drinking buddy in The Green Years. In the 1940s, he gravitated toward outdoor and western adventures. Clyde is well remembered for his roles as a comic sidekick, usually teaming with William Boyd in the Hopalong Cassidy series or with Whip Wilson in Monogram's low-budget western movies playing the character "Winks".

Clyde's last theatrical film was released in 1956, after which he worked in television, in such programs as CBS's Lassie and ABC's The Real McCoys. In the latter he was the foil of the legendary Walter Brennan, playing the role of friendly neighbor "George McMichael" to Brennan's "Grandpa Amos". The popular actress Madge Blake appeared as Clyde's fictitious sister, "Flora McMichael", a sometimes romantic interest of Brennan's "Grandpa" role.

Clyde continued to perform on television until his death on May 18, 1967.

Clyde has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He was the brother of actor David Clyde and actress Jean Clyde.

Andy Clyde's more than 40-year film career started on the vaudeville stages and music halls in his native Scotland in the 1920s. He made his way to Hollywood and began as an extra in Mack Sennett comedies, but he was soon moved up to featured player, usually the sidekick or second banana to the lead. He had his own series of well-received comedy shorts at Educational Pictures in the mid-1930s, and began a long association with Columbia Pictures, where he made his own series of comedy shorts over the next 20 years. He is best remembered, however, for his many roles as the comedy-relief sidekick in scores of westerns, usually paired with William Boyd (I) in the "Hopalong Cassidy" series as California Carson or with Whip Wilson in a lower-budgeted series of westerns at Monogram playing "Winks" (for some reason, his character in each entry of the series was called Winks, but often had a different last name). He played the grizzled, grungy, scruffy marshal, deputy or just plain old cowboy, usually with several days growth of beard and a sloppy, mismatched wardrobe (in real life he was exactly the opposite, being a slick, clean-shaven and sharp dresser). His last film, Pardon My Nightshirt (1956), also brought an end to his Columbia shorts series. He had regular parts in such TV series as "No Time for Sergeants" (1964) and "Real McCoys, The" (1957). He died in 1967, age 75, in Hollywood, still working.
