I want to know if he was hitting Ginger or Mary Ann unless they were lesbians and he was gay.

His name was Roy Hinkley. He was supposedly a professor of physics or math at MIT.

By the way, the Skipper's real name was Jonas Grumby. Tuck that little piece of trivia away. It may save your life one day.

I remember seeing him in a Twilight Zone episode. He played an inventor of a time machine that bought back a convict from the old west who ended up killing him. Convict played by Albert Salmi who sadly committed murder/suicide with his wife in Spokane.

Russell Johnson appeared on two episodes of the Twilight Zone.

In one episode, he was a member of an exclusive men’s club and somehow he was transported back in time to 1865, just days before the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He ran around trying to warn everyone, but it was too late.

In another episode, he played an inventor who invented a time machine, and he accidentally brought back a murderer in the Old West to the present day, just as the murderer was about to be hung. Russell Johnson’s character was murdered by the Old West outlaw.

Professor Hinkley (also a Boy Scout Leader) tried to fix the SS Minnow but his invented glue disintegrated the boat to pieces. The raft that Gilligan & Skipper built could not hold up to sharks and rough seas for the trip into the shipping lanes.

When interviewed, Professor stated that his greatest regret was that he was unable to find a way to get them rescued.

Most forget that almost any of the Professors’ attempts were
thwarted by ........... GILLIGAN!! ......

Raquel Welch as Mary Ann? One thing for sure, nobody would fire her. /Seinfeld reference.

He was one of the geniuses behind the Turbo Encabulator.

But what got him into trouble was inventing the 100mpg carburetor. Which was why the oil company that then employed him gave him an all expense paid trip to Hawaii, including a 3 hour tour on a sabotaged boat.

Ginger was a high priced prostitute meant to replace Marilyn Monroe as JFKs mistress, Mary Ann was a very high priced, *underaged* prostitute meant to do the same; but both became redundant, which is how they got on the boat.

Whatever he studied, I had *such* a crush on him :). And I thought Ginger the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I was too young to pick up on anything beyond surface. Oh..I just loved that show.

After being on that Island after a few days, I would think he was studying Maryanne and Ginger pretty hard....

I worked with Dawn Wells four years ago and I shared with her about a close friend who lived next door to the late Russell on Bainbridge Island, WA. Dawn, at age 74, was still lovely and confided "I was so very much in love with him. If he weren't married, I would have had him!"

I was on Team Ginger until meeting her.
