Before Sherwood Schwarz "Island Giligan" came out of the air waves in 1964, Jimim Bakus was probably the biggest star of the cast. Bakus has already appeared in the Jameseims Dean flasher in 1955 The "Rebel for no reason" and expressed the fun animated character Mr. Magew since 1949. He also had a fertile film career after collecting dozens of high -profile loans that worked for significant directors such as William Castle, Oseos Ferrer and Stanley Kramer. "The Island of Illiligan" needed the back more than needed on the Gilligan Island.

The rest of the cast comes from different career paths, but had their share of experience. Bob Denver was remembered for playing Meinard Crabs on the hitter "Very Lovesub of Gilis", while Alan Hale, Runior has already used dozens and dozens of supporting roles in a bunch of B-comedies and genres. Compared to Russell Nsonson, he starred in Western and spy films, while Natalie Schaefer made a career playing impurities and ladies of Snie Society, and Tina Luiz has already received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in "Little Acres". Finally, Zora Wells took over multiple accompanying gigs in many of the hit -like early in the 1960s, including Bonanza, "77 Sunset Lane" and "Wagon Train".

None of them, however, was as well known as Backus. Indeed, Schwartz gloriously complained pretty hard to get Bakus in his show even before his eventual character, Mr -Howell, was fully developed. Schwartz's son, Lloyd J Schwarz, talked to the female world in 2025 And, he remembers the stories his father told about "Dodik" for the series. The script seems to have not been finalized, but Schwartz was still able to get Jimim Bakus for the play. (This although Sherwood had no faith in his writing.)

It should be clarified that Sherwood Schwarz did not call Jimim Bakus. They worked together on several projects in the past, including the Sitom at the NBC "I married Anoan", which Schwartz wrote, as well as several important radio projects. The writer and the actor have clearly developed a report, though, because Bakus wanted to join any project that Schwartz worked, no matter how silly he was. And Schwartz warned him, "Giligan Island" was supposed to be silly. As Lloyd F Schwarz said:

"(W) Chicken Dad wanted jiMim to do 'Giligan Island"The character of G -Din Howell was not fully developed and told Jimim:" I want to do this show, but if you read the script, you won't want to do it. " And Jimim said, "Good, I believe you." And that was it. "

Schwartz has often admitted that "Giligan Island" is a simple slap farce and that its humor is not terribly sophisticated, nor his scenario at least real. The series did not apply to the true paths of the survival of the desert island; It was a cartoon-like that kids could watch. Schwartz and the cast also admitted that the very simplicity of the show Maybe the key reason why the Island Giligan succeeded; It was a salt for the audience living in a turbulent world.

Giligan's Island ended after three seasons, but lived in repetition for decades. Bakus and his six co-stars all became the most famous after the ridiculous little sitcom, and her mythology got deep into American consciousness. Backus enjoyed the series, but admitted - many years later - that He slightly opposed the success of the Island Giligan. He admitted that he wished to be better known for his dramatic work. Be it as you can, he continued to participate in Projects on "Island Gilligan" after the initial show ended.

However, Lloyd Schwartz said Alan Hale had no such discontent. Hale was worshiped playing the skirt and even wore the cap of the face of public appearances. He simply hopes that some of Hale's enthusiasm crumbles on the backus.
