Gilligan

Willy Gilligan is one of the main characters. A close friend of the skipper, Gilligan is commonly called "his little buddy" despite getting hit by the skipper a lot. He served with the Skipper in World War II and apparently saved his life by pushing out of the way of a depth charge, but according to the skipper "You didn't save my life. You prolonged it so you could cause me more bad luck!" &nbsp
