Russell Johnson - Memoir, TV Actor
Russell Johnson is best known for playing the role of professor on 'Gilligan's Island'. After years of a successful movie career, Johnson decided to settle on Bainbridge Island since, as he explains, "[Gilligan's Island] has affected my life every day since. In fact, today I live with my wife on an island. Old habits die hard." In 1993 Johnson, along with co-author Steve Cox, reflected back on his life as the professor on 'Gilligan's Island' in his book
Here on Gilligan's Isle. In it, Johnson offers fans of the TV series many behind-the-scenes anecdotes, stories about his fellow cast-aways, and an answer to the often asked question: how was the professor able to build a nuclear reactor and a car but never a boat? The book is a must read for any fan of the show. For more information on the professor go to Russell Johnson's website at
