While fiercely loyal, the wiry first mate to Skipper Jonas Grumby is the quintessential screwup. Gilligan means well, but is forever breaking radios, tripping over phone cables, making plates out of explosive material and passing out radioactive seeds without reading the package. If there is a way foil a plan, he will find it. More often than not, it involves falling into the lagoon.
Born in Pennsylvania, Gilligan worked at a gas station before joining the navy, where he saved the life of the captain and became his "little buddy." In gratitude, when the Skipper started his own charter business he hired Gilligan to be his first mate (despite his incompetence). Gilligan's childlike nature makes him the perfect errand boy to perform many of the menial tasks on the island, such as riding the Professor's generator bike, acting as manservant to Mr. Howell or collecting coconuts for the girls. It should be noted, some fans claim that Gilligan's first name is "Willy," though no one has been able to prove it

With a gruff exterior, Skipper Jonas Grumby is really a teddy bear at heart. The quite large and in charge captain of the Minnow is the bumbling leader and protector responsible for keeping the island safe from the elements, local savages and his inept first mate, Gilligan.
A local businessman, the Skipper ran a small charter business out of a port in Honolulu, Hawaii, giving day tours to vacationers until that fateful day. He met his anomalous first mate while serving in the navy. Gilligan became his "little buddy" for life when he apparently saved the Skipper from a charge that had broken loose on the deck of the destroyer where they were serving.
The Skipper does his best to take care of his stranded castaways while trying to teach Gilligan how to become a good leader -- and keep him from sabotaging every attempt to get off the island.

One of the world's richest men, Thurston Howell III is also known as "The Wizard of Wall Street." Though much of his money is inherited, Mr. Howell is a Harvard graduate and presumably a natural at expanding the family fortune. He met and married his wife Eunice at Harvard in the 1940s, though he never calls her by anything but her pet name, Lovey. He has a home in each of the 50 states, and is the owner of Howell Industries as well as 11 other corporations. While stranded on the island, Mr. Howell is able to keep track of his millions by listening to the radio and reading a copy of the Wall Street Journal that he happened to bring on the cruise. His most impressive skill: packing for any situation. Even marooned on a desert island, this mogul is rarely wanting for anything.

Long before MacGyver started making explosives out of chewing gum, Professor Roy Hinkley was creating fabulous inventions out of the coconuts and straw. Perhaps this is because he holds six college degrees, all earned by the age of 25. Of course, all that studying has made the Professor a level-headed man and also a somewhat dull one. Marooned on a deserted island with a beautiful movie star and lovely farm girl, the Professor never so much as raises an eyebrow to either. He'd rather sing the praises of salicylic acid or study the water levels in the lagoon.
Well versed in the languages of the local savages, the Professor is a useful man to get stranded with. He can also make glue out of tree sap, create an antidote for pretty much any jungle poison and regenerate transistor-radio batteries after they've been swallowed by a fish.

Va va voom! Ginger Grant has to be the sexiest wahini to ever set foot on the S.S. Minnow. A Hollywood actress and aspiring starlet, Ginger is always capable of heating things up on the island. Lucky for her, the four men she is stranded with are no threat to her virtue. The stoic Skipper, the preoccupied Professor, the childlike first mate and a married millionaire are probably the only four men in the Western World who could resist her charms.
On the verge of being Hollywood's next "It" girl, Ginger appeared in a bevy of pictures that contain useful information for island living. She also employs her myriad talents to entertain the castaways and various visitors to the island. Though not adept at menial labor, she is quite handy at creating her own luscious wardrobe out of Mrs. Howell's hand-me-downs.

A simple farm girl from Kansas, Mary Ann may be the true voice of reason on the island. Her down to earth demeanor and simple ways make her the most stable of the castaways. Luckily for them, this little farm girl can cook -- even with the island's limited ingredients. She can also clean and sew, making her perfect marriage material though Skipper is blinded by Ginger's beauty, Mr. Howell is already married, the Professor is too preoccupied to notice her and dizzy Gilligan is too juvenile to like girls. Although she's moral and practical, Mary Ann has a twinge of jealousy for Ginger, wishing in vain that she could occasionally be the center of attention for something other than her coconut cream pie.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Castaways make a movie
Castaway Pictures Presents Season 2, Episode 7
The group finds a sunken ship filled with movie equipment, but rather than oh, say, try and repair the boat and sail away on it, they make a movie to inspire someone to rescue them. They manage to get this movie to someone on the mainland, but it wins them a Cannes Film Festival award instead of a rescue.
Mad scientist mishaps
Ring Around Gilligan Season 3, Episode 9
Friendly Physician Season 2, Episode 29
A mad scientist visits the island… twice! In two episodes a mad scientist named Dr. Boris Balinkoff managed to get himself on and off the island, in one case with the castaways in tow. He is, of course, evil and only interested in experimenting on the shipwrecked group. Either way, this guy made it off the isle two times when a group of seven people couldn’t seem to figure out how to escape once
Ginger's twin
All About Eva Season 3, Episode 14
Eva Grubb (played by Tina Louise) gets a makeover from her strikingly similar friend Ginger. Once Ginger rids Eva of her glasses and drab attire, she makes her way back to Hollywood…alone, to steal Ginger’s movie roles
True love conquers…nothing?
Erika Tiffany-Smith to the Rescue Season 2, Episode 15
A pretty socialite (Zsa Zsa Gabor) comes to the island, looking for a place to build a swanky resort. She falls for the Professor, and though she promises to rescue the castaways, she can’t find her way back to their elusive island.
The Mosquitoes buzz off
Don't Bug the Mosquitoes Season 2, Episode 12
A fictional band as big as The Beatles called The Mosquitoes arrived on the island for some rest and relaxation, going totally undetected by media outlets and their hoards of adoring fans. The castaways try to make their time on the island a living hell so they'll want to leave, which they do - but without the annoying castaways.
Mars mistakes
Smile, You're on Mars Camera Season 2, Episode 4
A NASA satellite headed for Mars accidentally lands on the castaway’s island, and the group tries to use its nifty camera to get in touch with someone on the mainland. But, somehow, Gilligan gets everyone covered in feathers just as the camera captures their image and they are mistaken for strange alien chickens.
A famous producer
The Producer Season 3, Episode 4
A well-known producer named Harold Hecuba (Phil Silvers) lands on the island. The castaways produce a musical version of Hamlet to impress him so he will take them back to Hollywood with him. They fail to impress him. He leaves without them.

GUEST STARS
Although the regulars are unable to leave the island, quite a few guest stars manage to make their way to the isle's shores, among them Hans Conried as bungling pilot Wrong-Way Feldman, Vito Scotti as a misplaced WWII-era Japanese soldier, Larry Storch as mobster Jackson Farrell, Kurt Russell as a junior-league Tarzan, and Denny Miller as handsome surfer Duke Williams. Of course, the scriptwriters always manage to find some way of getting these visitors back to civilization -- without ever revealing the existence or location of the castaways!

A LIE DETECTOR
"Lovey's Secret Admirer"
Using bamboo, the good Professor rigs up a device using the ship's horn and the radio's batteries to show when a lie is being told.
BAMBOO ISLAND TAXI
The Bamboo Island Taxi was a pedal-powered vehicle Gilligan used to transport the Howells around the island in a capacity level to their prestige and social status, mostly through the Third Season. It was built of bamboo, branches, thatched leaves and other indigenous items. Gilligan drove it into the lagoon when Dr. Balingkoff returned to the island, but it is unclear how the Castaways retrieved it afterward. The vehicle surfaces again sometime later as Gilligan drives the Howells around the island, this time rear-ending the Kupaki Totem Pole on the island.
