Russell Johnson flew 44 missions as a navigator before his plane was shot down. Another Purple Heart recipient, Charles Bronson, flew 25 missions as a tailgunner, also on a bomber.
I think that if it wasn't for the professor being on the island none of them would have did that well. The professor got them through everything. A great salute to Russell Johnson for his service. Thank you so much.
This is amazing to hear that Russell Johnson was a very brave war hero
I saw an interview with Russell years ago (like 20+). He seemed like a genuinely nice and humble guy. Without him Gilligan's Island wouldn't have been even half as good.
I once met and shook hands with Russell Johnson, now I know that I have shaken hands with a purple heart recipient
thank you for your service, "Professor" Russell Johnson and all veterans!
Wow, I had no clue that Russell Johnson was a true war hero, you're, right, so many of us don't realize that our favorite actors had very interesting lives before they became actors. Russell Johnson, thank you for your service!! ☺
Something that you learn everyday about an actor that I didn't know I liked him he was really good
As a young boy, It was one of my favorite shows to watch. I did not know this about Russell Johnson so thank you for letting us all know the great service he performed for our great country.
The Professor was my favorite Castaway. 🌴
A salute to Russell Johnson from an AF veteran.
Russell Johnson was also in the tv series The Silient Service about WW2 submarines. Even Gilighan had a bit part in an episode. Even with a tiny role in a serious drama his comedic talent shines through a little.
This is very interesting. I had no idea about Johnson’s military background. Thanks for the video Rick, I learned something new.
Back in my early teens I learned quite by accident about the military history of First Lt. Russell Johnson. I was about 12 in 1978 when I discovered Mr. Johnson on the Twilight Zone as a scientist with a time machine. I became very interested in Mr. Johnson's career because I found him a unusually smart person. Thanks for all the history of the man. He really was extraordinary fellow. A twice decorated WW 2 hero. I always knew he was going to be great! He looks like a hero. Maybe someone can make a biographical movie about him m Totally awesome! Great video! God bless you and your family! David
I did not know that Russell Johnson won the Purple Heart as a war hero. Thank you Rick for the video. I just learned something new today so thanks to you.
A humble, decent, guy. Never heard anything bad about him. Thanks for your contributions to our country and to humankind.
Really enjoyed this video about the Professor. I too am a Veteran, I was in the Marine Corps. Always tell a Vet Thanks. A lot of Vietnam War vets were never thanked
Many of the old actors were exceptional people, unlike the current crop. I can't watch contemporary movies and tv for a ton of reasons, often due to the repellent actors themselves.
Great Stuff! It's funny how many of those 60's Sit-Coms were also Veterans! Eddie Albert drove an amphibious transport in the Pacific & Risked his neck to save wounded & Pinned-down Marines at Tarawa! But My personal favorite is the story of Lt. Col. Jimmy Stewart! Thanks Again!
Russell Johnson was awesome in '50s Sci-fi films; he portrayed characters who possessed great intellect, which apparently was not a 'stretch' for him. His 'telephone lineman' character, in "It Came From Outer Space" was the thing nightmares are made of, and "This Island - Earth", having first seen the film in '71, I remember my father quipping "Interocitor",,, "Coconuts"....
