End of the line for the Love Boat: MS ex-Pacific Princess beached at Aliaga for scrapping (UPDATE#2)

3. Yeah, it wasn't too bad, even if Fred Gandy, who played Gopher later became a Republican congressman

... in the state of Iowa later... Too bad he couldn't have been more like Cooter from the Dukes of Hazard and become a Democratic congressman instead...

Looking at a link from Gandy's wiki page it seems interesting that he had an incident when filming the Love Boat in Turkey where he and Lauren Tewes horribly burned their hands there in a taxi. Perhaps a vision then for the end of the PP there?

I myself had a "ship accident" when I was a kid getting on to a ship from the Turkish coast that went to the Greek Island of Rhodes... As we were getting on and going up the stairway from the dock to the ship my thumb got pinched between the handrail of the stairway and the ship when the ship drifted in to the dock and I thought it was going to get broken or worse. Fortunately it was only badly bruised.
