Okay, that last one was tough.

It wasn’t that hard, I just summized that the last part of the name was Jr. (not too many Sr.'s), then thought of actor’s that used that, and aside from Ed Begley, there was Alan Hale. He only had one main role. After I realized Gilligan’s Island fit, I did have to search for his proper name (although I knew the Jonas part)…hope that’s okay.

Actually, you forgot to wear your tinfoil hat and I read your thoughts…I’m scared…
