50 Years On: Where Is The Cast Of Gilligan’s Island Today?

When the passengers of a boat get stranded on an island, hilarity ensues. But where is the cast of Gilligan’s Island today?

Larry Storch As Jackson Farrell – Then

Jackson Farrell was a professional criminal looking to lie low when he ended up on the deserted island. He was on the run from police after robbing a string of banks on the West Coast. He initially had the castaways fooled about his identity, convincing them he is a doctor. However, they eventually discovered the truth about who he really was and he held them as prisoners. He eventually gets into it with Gilligan and tries to flee the island, but is captured.

Larry Storch – Now

Larry Storch’s appearance on Gilligan’s Island might have been brief, but it’s just one of the hundreds of credits he’s racked up over the years. His impressive range and ability to do accents have seen him land a lot of voicing work in cartoons like The Pink Panther Show and Scooby-Doo. He’s also dedicated a lot of time to performing on stage, especially now he’s retired. His final appearance on screen was in an episode of comedy series Medium Rare back in 2010.

Kurt Russell As Jungle Boy – Then

When you’re stranded on a desert island, you don’t tend to come across many people. However, in one episode from season one, Gilligan encountered a young man referred to as Jungle Boy. He didn’t know who he was or how he got there, but he did provide the castaways with a way to get off the island. Unfortunately, just when it seemed like the passengers would be able to leave, Jungle Boy stole their means of escape.

Kurt Russell – Now

Although Kurt Russell first came to people’s attention thanks to his guest appearances on TV shows, the actor gave up on the small screen in the ‘70s to become a movie star. He’s had dozens of roles since featuring on Gilligan’s Island, and he continues to land parts to this very day. In the last few years, he’s starred in The Hateful Eight,The Fate of the Furious, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2, with several new films now in the works.
