I once heard that on the first day of shooting of "Gilligan's Island", Alan Hale hitchiked to work. It could be a lie, it could be true. I don't know :confused:

that is true. He was filming a western movie in the middle of no where. He then went by horse to the edge of the set. From there he hitchiked to LA and then rode in a taxi to the audition for his role as the skipper. this was the audidion for the pilot

Well I'll be damned! :lol:

That's kinda a funny story that he had to hitchike to work. I wonder who the person was who gave him a lift? Of course, that would be impossible to find out.

yeah but I wonder if the person who did it watched Gilligan and thought this is all because of me

I guess your right! We owe that person some thanks for getting Alan to the interview on time.

:lol: :lol: :lol: you're right gilligan fanatic and munsters #1!!!!


pat

Yes he was filming a movie with audy murphy in in st george I think thats the name in utah he then got a call from sherwood shwartz about his new project and said to him if u want to be the skipper you are but i want to see how you work with the other characters, and the rest is as giligan fanatic said.
