Alan Hale Went on an Adventure to Get to his Audition
When Alan Hale Jr. got the call to audition to play the Skipper, he was in the middle of filming “Bullet for a Bad Man” in St. George, Utah. Unable to get time off from filming, Alan snuck off the set. He traveled to Los Angeles via horseback, hitchhiking, airplane and taxi cab to make it to his audition. And when it was over, he traveled back to Utah, in the reverse order.
