At the point when Gilligan’s Island’s viewership started declining, the show’s producers determined another character could spare the show.

Alan Hale Jr. being able to make it to the audition for Gilligan’s Island is a wonder in itself. Why, you may inquire? To start with, he started by hopping onto a horse from a Utah set he was on. Then, he got to Las Vegas, Nevada by hitchhiking. That is not all! Obviously, from that point he needed to ride a plane to Los Angeles so that he could come to his audition. No one else could be the Skipper, thus, we’re so thankful for the miracle!
