Triva Section Wrong About Alan Hale


The Trivia Section post regarding Alan Hale is quite wrong in stating that he appears briefly in only one scene. In fact he appears in numerous scenes throughout the picture, usually to be seen on the bridge. The poster's confusion apparently arose because the actor usually known as Alan Hale, Jr. was billed in The Seas Chase merely as Alan Hale and was much slimmer than when he became a TV fixture as the Skipper in Gilligan's Island a few years later. The poster, poor thing, seems to have been looking for Alan Hale, Sr., blissfully unaware that he had died about five years before The Sea Chase was produced.
