The producers had an extremely difficult time casting the Skipper. Many actors, including Carroll O'Connor auditioned, but could not bring the right combination of gruffness and sympathy to the role.

In an interview after Alan Hale had passed away, his widow Naomi Hale stated "He was born to play the Skipper".
