His one and only acting role was of him playing a miniature version of Gilligan in the dream sequence of an episode of "Gilligan's Island", which was a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk where Gilligan was Jack and the Skipper was the giant. In order to make the Skipper's giant character look big, they needed someone small to play Gilligan in the chase scenes as technology of the time would not allow for Bob Denver to be shrunken.
