Trivia
Son of Alan Hale.
Sometime after his father's death, 'Alan Hale Jr.' dropped the "Jr" and became professionally known as 'Alan Hale'.
Best known as the skipper on Gilligan's Island.
Unlike other cast members of Gilligan's Island, he enjoyed the image that his role on the show gave him. This included usually wearing a skipper's cap at most times, donating his used ones for charity purposes.
Ashes scattered at sea.
According to Gilligan's Island creator Sherwood Schwartz, he was having trouble casting the right actor for the part of the Skipper. Several had auditioned (including 'Carroll OConnor' ) but Schwartz couldn't find the right guy. While he was having dinner in a Hollywood restaurant, he noticed Alan Hale Jr. dressed in a Civil War uniform, having dinner. Schwartz liked what he saw in Hale and began planning on casting him for the Skipper.
Served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II.
Used to own and operate a popular restaurant "Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel" on La Cienega Blvd's "Restaurant Row" in Los Angeles. He would often greet guests dressed as "The Skipper".
Used to own a travel agency after he closed his restaurant.
Brother of Karen Hale Wookey
Played a character called "Gilligan" in an episode of the TV series _"Batman" (1966/II)_ .
He addressed "Barney Fife" as "Little Buddy" in January 1962 guest appearance as "Jeff Pruitt" on "The Farmer Takes a Wife" episode of the The Andy Griffith Show. He used the same nickname for Gilligan 2 years later.
While battling cancer, he lost a lot of weight. When a child inquired about his weight loss, Hale simply told him that he was going to be playing Gilligan in a new Gilligan's Island show.
While playing Ned Brown in "The Wild Wild West" episode, "The Night of the Sabatini Death", he told a cast member he was going to "relax on my own private desert island."
