What happened to: Professor

Johnson had several roles after Gilligan’s Island especially on tv dramas. Once at a convention Johnson made an appearance to promote an up coming film but ended up only being asked Gilligan’s Island questions he responded with, "I was at a speaking engagement for MIT … and I said … the Professor has all sorts of degrees, including one from this very institution! And that’s why I can make a radio out of a coconut, and not fix a hole in a boat". He currently lives in Bainbridge Island in Washington. Johnson is one of three living Gilligan Island cast members.
