By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

I get some strange e-mails everyday, really I do. What do you make of this one that came in yesterday;

Hello, Matt My name is and I am really interested in being in the Gilligan's Island film. I am a 46 year old business mgr. in . I truly believe I am the one they would want for the Skipper. Matt can you be my Agent!! I won't let you down, how would we get our foot in the door to get auditioned!! How do we make it happen!!!! I will meet with you in California!!! Matt you probably get this all the time but I am completely serious. Let me Know!!!!! Sales Director

I hear ya Dewey, it's a big role. Much in demand. Warner Bros. announced recently they were adapting Gilligan's Island into a major motion picture with Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs) putting together the screenplay. It's probably a little early for casting in truth but I've emailed Dewey back for a head-shot, or for him to record an audition tape and actually send through a CV and we will take it from there. Yes I will be your agent Dewey, YES! Skipper was originally played by Alan Hale Jr. I've also e-mailed WB - because after all, Dewey has the right ambitions and is saying the right things. I'll let you know.
