Before being an actor Bob Denver was a mail man and a high school teacher. His first film was in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in 1959.This was about a young man named Dobbie who had many ideas on how to get girls to like him. Dobbie's sidekick played by Bob Denver helped him with many plans that never worked but were very funny.
But his career set sail when he did Gillian's Island. After the Gillian's Island fame he settled in West Virginia. He donated money to the disprivleged and the homeless people. He also ran a radio show called " Little Buddy Radio ." Bob Denver died September 2, 2005 (aged 70 ) What I liked best about Bob Denver is that he is always funny and the chararacters he played always fit his personality.
My favorite scene is on Gillian's Island when he takes revenge on the Skipper. He is geting tree sap with one pail and Skipper steps in the sap. His shoes come of then he takes one step more in the sap and finally his socks come off. He takes one more step and is stuck for good. Then Gillian slaps the Skipper with his hat and runs away cowardly. I thought this was funny because he usually does things by accident.
Watch here.
