"Giligan Island" is not very known for its sophisticated humor. The show was a light sight for Castaways, which somehow never managed to avoid its isolated local despite visiting more guests during their three seasonal deadline. "Giligan Island" was nonsenseBut he knew what it was and fully accepted his stupidity. As a result, it became a beloved TV classics, especially since it became a widely union after the end of the last season in 1967.

But for all its absurdity and camps, the play at least tried to provide something balance, especially in the form of Thim Bakus, Turton Howell III and his wife, Ms. Natalie Shafer, Mrs Turton. The billionaire's couple was scheduled to fall apart with a slap with a slap, provided by Bob Denver skipper Gilligan and Alan Hale Runior, and of course brought air to refining a ridiculous Sitkom. Much of it was reduced to Bakus himself, who, with the time when he was thrown at the show, became an illustrative starvet.

The creator of "Island Giligan" Sherwood Schwartz was lucky to have an actor on his pedigree on the ship, especially since Bakus remained part of the Giligan Island Universe decades after the initial show ended. The actor not only expressed his character in Two animated series of "Giligan Island" that most people forgot"The Planet of Gilligan" and "Giligan's New Adventures", he appeared on all three TV films based on the series: "The Castaways on the island of Giligan", "Rescue from the island of Giligan", and of course, "Harlem Globtrotroters on Giligan Island", which Bakus contributed to a short arrival Due to his personal health deteriorates.

The importance of Bakus for "Giligan Island" was certainly not lost in Schwartz. The creator of the show had to skip numerous hoops to get his choice number one for Turton Howell III's role and remained grateful for the presence of Bakus.

Before making him broadcast, "Giligan Island" was a different show for an audience. For one thing, Castaways's original "Gilligan Island" included two very different characters. Moreover, someone other than the great Jimim Bakus almost played Tourton Howell III. In the book "Inside the Island Giligan: From creating to union"Sherwood Schwartz explains how he wrote Howel's role with Bakus in his mind - maybe because Bakus made a name for himself, he played such elitists. The actor lowered his first major role when playing a millionaire named Dexter Chase in the 1940 "Society" girl, "Before taking one of his most famous roles as an eccentric cartoon Mr. Mago, starting in 1949 . Whatever the reason, Schwartz seems to have decided on Bakus for the role of Turton Howell III long before the Island Giligan reaches the casting phase.

Showrunner writes about how, because Illilligan and the skipper provided "a wide slap comedy", it was crucial to balance their absurd antiquity with "wit and satire, comedy of a completely different kind". Trkton Howell III was the answer, and as the show's creator recalls, Bakus was the ideal man for the job. But the actor proved to be difficult to get down. As Schwartz recalled, "Jimim made a pilot film for many months earlier and it was still a contractual obligatory to keep available."

Moreover, money has become a problem. Since becoming a well -established Starwar, Bakus was essentially too expensive for the Island Giligan and his modest CBS budget. It prompted Schwarz to look briefly elsewhere, with the creator of the show writing:

"We found two actors with good characters who could play the Terchton Howell III. Both were good, but none could give the part of perfection that Jimim could bring in that role. No one had the voice of Turton Howell III listen to my head, or the person I was painting on the screen.

Fortunately, during these negotiations Schwartz and his show took a break.

Although Jimim Bakus eventually rejoiced playing Terchton Howell III in "Giligan Island", things really went down to the wire. In the book by Sherwood Schwartz, show -show explained how Bakus suddenly became available during negotiations with other actors, but at that time the production was six days after leaving for Hawaii to shoot the pilot. Schwartz wrote: "On that date, Jimim's option for the other series ran, and Jimim's agent, Tom Karman, called me. Was the role still available? The answer was yes. But it was qualified to. "

Just because Backus was suddenly free, it didn't mean that CBS would hand over the money to get it, leaving Schwartz in something bonds - especially as he would have to double the salary attached to the role in order to secure his friend. Fortunately, it happened so that CBS CEO Hunt Stromberg Runior was a fan of Jimim Bakus. Schwartz wrote:

"I called Hunt to CBS and told him that Jimim Bakus suddenly became available. Would CBS come up with extra money? Money over and above the budget call? Without hesitation, Hunt talked about CBS. "

However, that was not the end of Schwarz Turton Howell III questions. Once He was thrown at the Island Giligan, the presence of "Bakus" forced the copying at the last minute Because his character gained a small role in the pilot -scenario. "It has become a big role only after I learned that Jimim is available," Schwartz wrote. As such, the creator of the show felt that he had to keep the pilot scenario from his respected new recruit until he could process it. "There was no way to show that script to Jimim Bakus," Schwartz wrote. "He wouldn't take the part. He was a man fan of important roles. I don't think Turton Howell III had more than ten or eleven rows in the original Giligan Island scenario. How did Schwartz make the problem? Well, according to Showrunner, it was: "" Do you expect to sign a Starwar contract in a series without reading the script? "He asked Jimim.
