From Actor Feuds To Alcoholism: Behind The Scenes Of Wonder Woman

Mickey Morton

Mickey Morton played a gorilla with super-strength named Gargantua in an episode of Wonder Woman. In addition to his gorilla-suit role, Morton has appeared in plenty of other television shows throughout the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.

His more notable roles are as a Wookie on The Star Wars Holiday Special and as Mr. Sullivan in Growing Pains. He’s had small roles on classic old shows such as The Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, Diff’rent Strokes, I Dream of Jeannie, and Laverne & Shirley. Morton was unbelievably tall at 6’8”, so it’s no wonder that he got cast in roles such as Gargantua.
