Richard Dean Anderson

I used to love MacGuyver. It was so creative and fun. I had such a big crush on Richard Dean Anderson.

I loved Macguyver. I wanted to *be* Macguyver. The man could do anything. I never, ever missed an episode of that show. I watched with eager anticipation to see what he would do next, how he'd get himself out of Dangerous Situation Of The Week. And I still remember all the bizarre things he made, and how he once used a fish as a saw. At some point I want to get it on DVD - I keep seeing it and thinking 'that'd be a great show to have!'. I didn't watch him in much else, honestly, aside from SG-1, but he will always be Macguyver to me.

Hi! Oh, my sister and I were so in love with Richard Dean Anderson when he was on General Hospital! Wow, that was a long time ago, before Rick Springfield and John Stamos. Gee, I'm old! LOL :-)

I remember when he was on General Hospital and left the show to do Seven Brides, which was then cancelled but he went on to MacGyver. It was interesting that instead of just replacing the character with another actor as so many soaps do, that instead they had him move away. And he is basically a forgotten character of the show despite his popularity and central focus he had at that time.

I must have had a sheltered TV life-I'd never seen MacGyver until I'd seen RDA in Stargate SG-1! A friend who'd previously loaned me SG-1 dvd's to catch up then loaned Me Mac's season 1 -was funny to see RDA's reaction to Sam Carter saying something about having "MacGyvered" the DHD computer at Stargate Command!

Yeah... I miss watching the MacGyver series. It was really awesome! Correct me if I'm wrong, but Anderson also composed the MacGyver theme song.

I've always LOVED Richard Dean Anderson and would still watch anything he appeared in. My favorite show was definitely MacGyver...I always hated to have to miss it when it was on. Every now and then I'll catch a re-run on some off channel. To me, he's absolutely gorgeous and always was.

macgyver, macgyver, macgyver. as i was responding to your quantam leap discussion i thought of him. we used to watch that show every week. to this day when we are looking for our pocket knife we refer to it as our macgyver. ha ha

I loved him as MacGuyver. He always thought of new and interesting ways to save the day. Have you seen his credit card commercials? They are totally MacGuyver and how he bought all his supplies with the credit card. My mom was smitten with him when he was on her soap opera General Hospital. I wonder why he left and if he would consider coming back. Rick Springfield just came back looking as cute as ever, so Richard could too! Elizabeth needs more family than just her Grandmother.

Richard Dean Anderson has appeared in the pilots of six different series: 'Seven Brides for Seven brothers,' 'Emerald Point N.A.S.,' 'MacGyver,' 'Legend,' 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Stargate: Atlantis.' The latter is the only one on which he was not a regular. Along with Michael Shanks, he is one of only two actors to appear in the pilots of both Stargate SG-1, and the spin-off series Stargate: Atlantis. I loved him best as MacGyver which was First telecast: September 29, 1985 and Last telecast: August 8, 1992. In the last regular episode, MacGyver discovered the son he never knew he had -- a young man named Sean Sam Malloy (Dalton James) -- and the two got on their motorcycles and rode off into the sunset to bond.... Richard plays the guitar, and has even tried his hand at composing, including the original piece, Eau d'Leo, which was used in the series MacGyver. I didnt like him in the western type series Legend. Filming will start 15th April 2007 for his new project. Stargate: Continuum More info on Richard, http://rdanderson.com/

I like Richard Dean Anderson on McGyver as Angus McGyver. He really is so cute on that show. My sister loves him so much.. and I liked his role in making ado with what he have to get out of trouble. Very cool

I do enjoy Stargate SG1, however Richard Dean Anderson will forever be MacGyver to me. It was his defining role I think. I heard a rumour once that Anderson was interested in doing a MacGyver movie, anyone know about that?

Hehe..at one time I had lovely dreams about Richard Dean Anderson when he was on MacGyver and watched that show religiously, I even taped many of the episodes...I really haven't seen him in anything else but did see a few episodes of Stargate which I just never warmed up to...I thought the movie was so much better and the way Anderson was in it well....he just doesn't seem to have the pizazz he had as MacGyver..

Yea MacGyver is one of my all time favorite shows! I used to have a lot of scrap book material of him (newspaper interviews, etc.), but I don't know what happened to it all, lol. Star Gate is another one of my favorites ... I just remembered, one of the articles I used to have did mention that he was in a rock band when he was younger, before he became an actor.

I knew I knew him from elsewhere but could never really place him. I think I will always see him as General O'Neil myself though.

Are you kidding me? MacGyver was one of my favorite shows so I do like this actor. That show was really cool and techy at those times. His solutions to problems in each episode was just so creative and good-thinking. It really entertained me a lot when I was young. I hope I could see it re-aired on the local channel. I haven't seen his other show or movies though so I can't really tell much of his acting career. Basically in MacGyver there is not much drama to see how good an actor does. Anyways he is good and fit for that role. So two thumbs up for this guy!

Macguyer was one of the best shows ever cast on television! it was very unique in a sense that no other show had the same theme at that time! I remeber running home after my tutions to watch macguyer! it was indeed an awesome show! i have been a Richard Deam Anderson fan ever since! BTW has he done any movies?

I loved Richard as Macgyver also. But it is so funny now looking back at the show and seeing reruns when they had them on a certain cable station, how corney some of the episodes were. The show was great in the begining when he did a lot of amazing things and then as the years went by, I lost my interest do to the lack of creativity on Macgyvers part. I watched stargate once or twice, although I loved richard I cannot get into shows like that. So Magyver all the way!

He'll always be MacGyver to me! Man I loved that show! It's one of my happy memories as a kid actually, watching this show with my dad. =) He was good in Stargate too though.

Everytime I see him on Stargate, which by the way I'm watching right now, I think of MacGyver. That was the best. There was actualy an outtake on one of the Stargate DVD's when Samantha and him were trapped and she told him to do some McGyver stuff.
