Many show fans have noticed that Professor Roy Finkley (Russell Nsonson) is the only reason anyone can survive on the Island Giligan. Not only was he able to keep a cool head in extreme situations, but he was also the only one with all kinds of engineering knowledge. He was able to repair the radios, to examine the mysterious chemicals that were washed off shore, and he probably constructed the island's aqueduct system. While Mr and Mrsko Howell (Jimim Bakus and Natalie Shafer) lay around drinking Mai Tais and Gilligan (Bob Denver) were blurred through life, The professor took place at the *** on the Island Giligan. The fact that he never got angry at the confrontation speaks to the great measure of the mature of the character and the commanded great.

The original series "Giligan Island" had no proper closureBut some of the following television films in the late stage explored what happened with their stay later in life. In the 1978 film "Rescue from the Island of Giligan", Castaways succeeded - the last - to return to the mainland. However, they found that everyone was unhappy. The professor became a celebrity, a status he had never sought; He would like to return to the lab to do research. By the end of the "rescue", the deviations were, with a dark incident, deposited on the same island as before, equally captured.

However, in the next film, the rescue was finally permanent. In "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island" in 1979, the Army finally managed to map the island's location and save Castaways once and for all. However, in a very "myth of Sisyphus", however, staying, all discovered that they wanted to live on a tropical island and decided to go back deliberately, opening a beach resort. Accordingly, the resort was called "The Castaways". They made their rock work.

In an interview in 1997 with Toronto's Torway, Nsonson revealed that the end of Castaways was suitable for his real life, in which he also retired on an island.

Note that Nsonson did not retire on a remote tropical island, but on the island of Bainbridge, Washington, which is part of Pugat Sound. Given the time of Puget Sound, it is quite opposite to a warm, tropical island. Instead, it is probably rainy and cold most of the year. The island of Bainbridge is only west of Seattle, but is considered a suburb of the city. It is small enough that only one road, highway 308, leads to and out of it through a bridge.

Nsonson, who was 73 years old in 1997, admitted to Toronto Starvaza that despite a long and diverse career, "Giligan Island", with a significant margin, brought him the most fame. People who remembered him from the show was approaching him all the time and surprised that then President Bill Clinton was watching the series as a boy. Just occasionally sorry for the gig. Nsonson also recognized the irony of moving to the island, given the fate of his character. "Old habits die hard," he gave up. In his autobiography "Here on the Island Giligan", Nsonson also spoke about his island home, writing:

"So, here's the professor and his wife living on a populated island in Pugat Sound in a beautiful home surrounded by forested sky, where the deer come next to our inner courtyard door. Above the coat is a gift from Sherwood Schwartz: Maestral cluttered and framed.

Schwartz, of course, was the creator and writer of "Island Giligan", one of the great TV impressionarios.

Nsonson died in 2014 at the age of 89. His memory was published in Bainbridge's local newspapers. He may have been known for playing the Professor of "Giligan Island", but it sounds as if he were a good neighbor.
