Gilligan was the first mate of the S.S. Minnow, commanded by Jonas Crumbey. During a heavy storm, he threw the anchor overboard, but forgot to fasten a rope to. Therefore, ran the boat stuck on a desert island.

Gilligan once served together with Jonas in the United States Navy. One day he saved the life of Jonas when there was a runaway depth charge on both of them came. That is also the reason that Jonas is a kind of father figure for Gilligan, and forgives him many of his errors.

Gilligans past and family are never mentioned in the series, except his older brother, from whom he apparently has stolen his red shirt. Gilligan is reportedly born in Pennsylvania, but in what place is not known.

Gilligan is in the series best known for its physical humor, with his friends in the role of "the serious man". Running gags are Gingers attempts to seduce, Gilligan Gilligan ever makes comments about skippers overweight and the fact that Gilligan (often unconsciously) any attempt to leave the island in the hundred let walk. He often interrupts threads with pointless stories about his childhood, but it happens regularly that Gilligans apparently senseless comments the professor give a good idea.

Despite that he is clumsy, often very innocent about making the others comes Gilligan him forgive his mistakes. Also, Gilligan often those that the others saves when an escape plan failed.

Gilligan is today seen as an American pop culture icon.

Gilligans full name was for many years subject of discussion among fans of the series. In the documentary Before the Three Hour Tour, it was revealed that Gilligans full name "Willy Gilligan" is. The name Gilligan is a corruption of "Gil Eggan", the name that the character actually would get. ==The Skipper[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Skipper is the title and nickname of Jonas Grumby<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" len="194" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1].

Therefore often he acts as the leader of the group, until there is a crisis situation arises. Then he lets the professor all decisions. He is also abodybuilder and therefore carried out most physical work on the island, but his lack of movement on the island begins to play tricks him clearly: he has suffered from overweight.

He is from Newport, Rhode Island, and graduated from the Harvard University. He is married to Lovey Howell, who is also on the island is. Howell sees his fellow Islanders as inferior, and seems but not wanting to realize that all included money worth nothing is on the island.
