The star on the island of hybigan first gave up the show

In the discussions on Shervud Schwartz in 1964, the “Hylile Island” is often a touch of ambivalence from the speaker. On the one hand, the “Island of Hyliles” can be one of the most important American texts that provide nations with its own updated version of the archetypes Commedia del’arte; Even those who have not seen the “Island of Hygro” can know each of the seven central figures by name and their faces. Thanks to eternal repetitions, several generations have grown, watching the “Jilizan Island”, which allows it to penetrate deeply into the American subconscious.

However, at the same time, most people acknowledge that the “Island of Hyloil” is very stupid. The steps are lightweight, convenient for children and do not require great intellectual activity from the audience. The jokes, according to Schwartz’s own recognition, are stupid and dumb. Seven pressed caste is allegedly fighting for survival, but they never face serious deficiency and hunger. Usually everyone wear the same outfits, their clothes are always clean, and they are all used in a preschool institution.

When the stars of “Hylile Island” tells about the show, they must admit that this is not the most reasonable show. Most protection set for Sitkama During US political upheaval; JFK was killed when the pilot show was shot. However, the actors admit that they were not always impressed with scripts and prerequisites. (Natalie Shafer, who once played Mrs. Howell She only took work on free Hawaiian vacation.)

Russell Johnson, who played the professor, confessed in an interview with the press and the sun-Bulletin (Corned Metv) that he reluctantly took the role. Too many people have already been listening, Johnson explained, and it made the role less attractive. He only agreed after the CBS essentially asked.

Johnson said – right – what Professor was vital for “Hyligan Island” because he was a direct man. Most other characters were wide, comedy characters, and someone, as a professor, had to keep the series a little in reality. Unfortunately, it also meant that the professor never had scenes and his own plots; It only stabilizes others. Johnson felt this at the beginning of listening to the show and did not necessarily want to take on such a role. He was already a long -lasting actor and had many other jobs he could take at the time. As Johnson reminded:

“I got part from the connection with CBS. (…) I told 13 A great adventure The show. I joined the main role in Westerners, Performing the role of the US marshal. I used to appear in 14 motion pictures for Universal during the 1950s. (…) They called and asked if I wanted to test the professor, and I answered “no”. They called me three times and I finally said so. ”

These days, no one can be found in the role. Russell Johnson or Professor. Indeed, Johnson returned to repress the role for all subsequent Jilizan Island after the show has been canceled, including three television films, two animated shows and several guest seats in other sitters. It became the most famous role of Johnson and allowed him to become one of the above archetypes. He is probably not least upset by his glory.
