Don Rickles As Norbert Wiley – Then
Prisoners on the run were not the only thorny characters the castaways encountered during their stay on the island. When Norbert Wiley washed ashore in season three and promptly managed to capture the company, he threw the group for a loop. Wiley reasoned that with a wealthy man like Thurston Howell III nearby, he’d be able to get a good ransom. Instead, he discovered that the castaways had flipped the script, making Wiley the prisoner.
Don Rickles – Now
Don Rickles is today considered a legend, but when he appeared on Gilligan’s Island in the early 1960s, he was still relatively unknown. Rickles’ big break had come only a few years ago. However, he rose to prominence with Kelly’s Heroes less than a decade later. Younger viewers, on the other hand, will recognize Rickles as the voice of Mr. Potato Head from the Toy Story franchise.
