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

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!

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.
