Choice For Gilligan
There were rumors that Schwartz originally set his eyes on Alan Young for Gilligan’s role. Many years after the rumor broke out, the show’s producer finally addressed the rumor. He even claimed that he had no clue where it came from, and he had never considered Alan Young for the show.
