Robert Osbourne "Bob" Denver
(January 9, 1935 – September 2, 2005)
Actor Bob Dnver is best known for his roles as Gilligan on the
CBS television series Gilligan’s Island (1964-1967) and the
beatnik Maynard G. Krebs on the 1959-1963 CBS-TV show
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
He was a funny actor…I liked him as Gilligan AND as Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie Gillis”….he certainly brought lots of laughs off the tv screen!
His character on Gilligan’s Island was sort of a hero for me when I was very young. Gilligan had many adventures, was full of life and most of all he was resilient. He was also loveable and the castaways responded accordingly. Who wouldn’t like to be Gilligan under those circumstances?
