About Gilligan

William “Willy” Gilligan, or better known as Gilligan, is the loving and quirky character who utterly transformed the CBS show Gilligan’s Island into a household favorite sitcom. People of all ages enjoy Gilligan’s character because he related to everyone who watched the show. Gilligan was formerly in the Navy and ended up on an island with The Skipper where many hilarious events occur throughout the three seasons the show aired.

Gilligan was a sweet, timid, and sometimes naive character who always got himself into trouble and usually made a bad situation even worse. But he was also a brave young man who would step up in times of need not only for himself but the others stranded on the deserted island. Even though he wasn’t the most intelligent on the show, Gilligan could usually find a way to solve a problem—and it was usually his personality that ended up saving him in the end.
