Jerry Van Dyke Facts
Father-in-law of Jack Nance.

Turned down the role of Gilligan on "Gilligan's Island" (1964) because he thought it was "the worst thing" he had ever read. In addition, he was offered to join the cast of "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960) in 1965, when Don Knotts left the show, but he declined. Instead, he chose to do "My Mother the Car" (1965). The cancellation of that short-lived series led him to regret his decision not to do either "Gilligan's Island" (1964) or "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960).

Started his television career at WTHI-TV in Terre Haute in the 1950s. He and his brother both applied for a job there but Dick did not get hired.
