Kurt Russell Had A Gilligan’s Island Cameo You Probably Missed
By SANDY SCHAEFER
In the first season of "Gilligan's Island," episode 19, called "Gilligan Meets Jungle Boy," features a 13-year-old Kurt Russell in a leopard loincloth.
The episode makes no effort at all to explain how Russell's mini-Tarzan character and his incredibly well-kept wavy hair came to be stuck on an uncharted isle in the Pacific Ocean.
"For me, that was, like, three weeks ago. I still remember some of my lines. I didn't have very many," Russell told “Today” while also recalling the aftermath.
"When you're 13-years-old [...] in a loincloth, and you gotta go back to your public school afterwards, you would've had to handle yourself pretty quickly," Russell laughed.
