How many of you remember Richard Dean Anderson before he was on Stargate as General O'Neil? Don't get me wrong, I love him in the part but he has done many roles before then. I've enjoyed him in many of the shows he did. I loved him as MacGyver. That was a great role and a great show as well. I also liked him though in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, a very short run musical show that he played the lead on. He was good on General Hospital too for that matter. So do you like Richard Dean Anderson and if so which role or roles did you like him best in?

I've been a fan for about 20 years. My favorite role was O'Neill (that's 2 L's) I enjoyed Jack's say-it-like-is, do-what-it-takes attitude. And I loved the way he and Michael Shanks (Dr. Jackson) played off each other, those were some of the funniest bits I've ever seen.

That's what I get for using spell check. It said only one L. Go figure. I agree both of them work well together. They look like they are having fun working with each other.

I would have to go with Colonel Jack O'Neill since I am a big Stargate fan. I know Steph would go with McGyver. But he is a real good actor.

Hehe both were good roles. He did them very well and I enjoyed both equally.

Wow... I was still a kid when I stared wacthing MacGyver..Really great...Just a trivia: Did you guys know that he was an exconvict but because of his great talent he always escaped prison..what ever they do they could not keep him behind bars.. thats why they have decided to make macGyver so he could share his talent to the people and hopefully be usefull to humanity...


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8978)   ranked 1 out of 4,983 in watching television  3 years ago

I don't know where you heard that one but it's not in any of his bios I've seen ever. Do you have a source for this?

For me, Richard Dean Anderson= MacGyver. I saw him in his other roles but this is the one character i remember and love him most.

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!


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8978)   ranked 1 out of 4,983 in watching television  3 years ago

He was perfect for the role I agree. I've liked him in everything else I've seen of his. I admit haven't seen them all but what I have I've enjoyed.

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!

Amazing isn't how we can watch something and see it differently now then we saw it when we were younger. They did have a year or two were it was slower but I think they got the writers back or something because then it picked up again.

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:-)


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8978)   ranked 1 out of 4,983 in watching television  3 years ago

Hehe I know the feeling. Rick Springfield was back on there again. Amazing how that happens. A lot of stars got their starts on GH besides him. He was good though. I loved GH back then.


myLot reputation of 64/100. clownfish (1908)   ranked 922 out of 4,983 in watching television  3 years ago

Yes! I forgot Demi Moore was on GH until one of the other posters mentioned it!:-)

Yep as Jackie, a character who could be a real B*tch but she was great. That was a long time ago. The time does fly doesn't it.

I had such a crush on MacGyver. I just loved that show. On one of the videos I've got it's got a preview showing you that you can buy the first season of macgyver on DVD. I'm so tempted.

Yeah, I remember him. I like him as McGyver. I brought the whole MacGyver series on dvd from amazon. One of my teacher was just crazy about him. I like him for the way he gets out of situation using anything available, but won't hurt any living thing.
