The Andy Griffith Show - Skipper of Gilligan's Island v Barney Fife

[@markpage9886]

Alan Hale was one of life's good guys. He loved being recognized as the Skipper and just loved meeting his fans, especially kids. He was kind hearted and apt to laugh or smile for any reason. He had the best life because he decided he was living the best life. I never read not one bad thing about him. He treated everybody he ever met as his little buddy.

[@kylelondon7851]

Very Good PennyCooper - *RIP JEFF* He ended up getting a Divorce, Selling his farm, Left Mayberry and baught a Boat and Started an Island Charter Company for Exotic Trips with a Free lunch included, aboard his tiny ship called the S.S. Minow. Until one day on Friday, November 22, 1963 (The Day of President Kennedy's Assassination.) The Crew of two men and now (Jeff) calls himself the Skipper and No one knows his real name unless they came from Mayberry; they set sail on that fateful morning along with 5 passengers touring the exotic islands. That is; Until the Weather started getting rough and the Tiny ship was tossed, Although the fearless crew tried to save the 5 passengers, They Woke on an uncharted Desert Island, Doomed to live there forever. They wake up on the Island Every day with NO escape Everytime they feel they are rescued the still end up going Back and waking up on the Island, Doomed to repeat for ever and ever and Not knowing the tiny ship was actually sunk and they all drowned. The last place they all looked at was the Island, and Not knowing they are actually dead they all end up on the Island trapped there forever ALL left with only the Blind hope of being Saved.

[@tomlayman3141]

I just recently learned that the only reason Barney left the show was because Andy had told everyone when the show first started that it would end in 5 years. Anyway when it got close to that time Barney ( Don Knotts) decided to sign a contract with a huge movie studio (Universal?) After he heard the show was going to continue, he tried to break the contract but wasn't allowed too. Sad twist of fate.

Alan Sr. & Jr. were always very close. In Gilligan's Island, the Skipper always wore a diamond pinky ring that was said to be a very valuable heirloom, passed down in his family for hundreds of years. In truth, it was actually a gift from Alan Hale Sr. to Jr., who never ever took it off, so they wrote the heirloom story to explain it.

Alan Hale's dad was a more accomplished actor during the 1940s, but the son was well rewarded with his role on Gilligan's Island. The casting agent for Paramount had been struggling to find the right person to play the Skipper, and was up against a tight schedule when one night he and friends were dining at a popular LA restuarant. Alan was also there with friends, and his gregarious theatrics and flamboyant mannerisms caught the attention of the agent. Not recognizing him, he approached Hale to ask if he was interested in film work, only then learning whose son he was, and the rest is history.
