One of my favorite Gilligans Island episodes

6. I am sure the same could probably be said for

Ernest Borgnine. I seem to remember a comment about it from him, but I don't recall exactly what he said.

** Edited to add additional, Many of my Chinese friends, while growing up told me they hated David Carradine for playing Kwai Chang Caine and thought Bruce Lee should have played the part. In looking back, I think the show Kung Fu was not only a success in popularity but it made viewers go and scramble to learn a bit more about Asian culture, and helped later in bringing more Asian actors to the screen. (Maybe not immediately but eventually.) One of my favorite actresses
later was in a show as the leading role...

Tia Carrere in the show Relic Hunter.


Also Lucy Lui has had a great career...
