    Anderson's journey in the world of entertainment began after he pursued a degree in drama at Ohio University. His early career included guest appearances in various TV shows and theater productions, but it was in the late 1970s that he gained recognition when he joined the cast of the popular soap opera "General Hospital," portraying Dr. Jeff Webber. However, it was his portrayal of the ingenious secret agent Angus MacGyver in the series "MacGyver" that truly catapulted him to stardom. The show, which ran from 1985 to 1992, showcased Anderson's talent and charisma. He brought to life a character known for his inventive problem-solving, pacifism, and resourcefulness, earning a dedicated fan base and leaving a lasting legacy in the world of television.
    Another significant chapter in Anderson's career was his role as Colonel Jack O'Neill in the long-running science fiction series "Stargate SG-1," which aired from 1997 to 2007. His charismatic portrayal of O'Neill made the show a success, and it further solidified his reputation as a versatile actor. Despite his success, Anderson announced his retirement from acting in recent years, marking the end of an era in his career. While fans may miss his presence on screen, his contributions to the world of entertainment are celebrated, and his legacy as MacGyver and Colonel O'Neill will continue to be cherished.
    Richard Dean Anderson's life and career have been defined by his talent, dedication, and the indelible characters he brought to life. His journey from a drama student to a beloved actor is a testament to his versatility and enduring impact in the entertainment industry.

    Wow… never thought to keep an actor’s AGE in mind. When the narrator said he was 74 now?! HOLY 💩!! And, OH YEAH, Anderson is NOT looking his age, but with MY MOM turning 78… yeah, I can just imagine how much his body was telling him to SLOW DOWN!! Thank you Mr Anderson for all the small parts and his EXCELLENT work on MacGyver and SG1. I STILL use MacGyver as a verb!! To MacGyver something is to create a solution to a physical problem with just household items and YOUR BRAIN!!

    my dad is turning 73 this month, we were raised on RDA stuff like Mac and SG1. He's one of our childhood staples, so when I met him at a con I got an autograph for my dad as a present. My dad got emotional that I thought of him when I met RDA given I wasn't feeling well when I was meeting him, he thought I'd get a photo and that was it. RDA was just super sweet and happy he still had fans in the same age group as him.

    Richard Dean Anderson was who made Stargate SG-1 such a treat to watch. I loved his grumpy character and thought he was better looking than he was in MacGyver. I believe neither of the shows would have been what they became without him in them. The last MacGyver jut didn't live up to the one who he portrayed. I always thought, if Stargate SG-1 had been real life that I would have liked to be a friend of Jack O'Neill because he'd keep me laughing. It is good he stepped away to be a bigger prt of his family's lives. After working 38 years, I stopped working when I ha a total knee surgery and afterwards became a caregiver to my mother who developed Dementia. I was lucky that I was able to be a caregiver for my dad, my mom and my brother, being at their bedsides when they died, all because I had left the workforce. Richard Dean Anderson needs to given applause for putting the needs of his family ahead of his acting career.

    Anderson wasn't afraid to allow his character on Stargate to tell jokes -- even though many of them bombed. But his comedy also allowed him to shine in serious moments -- and that's the mark of a good actor -- to be able to express a full range of emotions without going overboard with it.

His portrayal of Jeff Webber rose him to stardom before McGyver as in the case with so many other famous actors and musicians, Rick Springfield, Ricky Martin, John Stamos, Mark Hamill and several women as well. They all were easy on the eyes but had talent as well. Richard Dean Anderson and Rick Springfield were my favorites.

    I have both TV series on DVDS, plus the movies, and I watch them both quite regularly. The differences between the characters he played in both series is a fine testament to his acting skills. I particularly liked how he thanked his audience as Richard Dean Anderson the actor at the end of McGiver 🙏🏼

    I still have a deep crush on Richard; I did a double take when he started on GH, and then to see him on seven brides(he rocked the flannel)and MacGyver. His characters use of brains over braun were ahead of their time. SG 1 was a flat out awesome show, I still catch it occasionally.
    My late twin brother bought the series of MacGyver for his last Christmas gift to me

    I totally miss him. He was an integral part of my teenage years playing MacGyver and I am a very dedicated Gater! As a matter of fact I rewatched the whole series and the movies yet again this past summer. I miss his wit and ability to make sarcastic tones super funny as well as his ability to jump from funny to serious and make me feel completely engaged in his characters life. He is an amazing actor and is much missed. Glad he got to enjoy his family though as that is much more important a task to be good at!

    In all honesty, I wasn't a fan of MacGyver. I became a fan when I started watching Stargate SG-1. We were both born in 1950, and we both have retired, and gained lots of weight. He looks happy, which is the most important thing. I'm pleased that he found such happiness when he became a devoted dad! Loved the video of him with his young daughter. Putting her first in his life is commendable! I wish him and his, happiness in the future. Thanks for the shows, RDA!

    He was on General Hospital first as Jeff Webber. I watched him first on that show. Then he starred on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers which only lasted one season. And then 1 season on Emerald Point N.A.S. before MacGyver.

    I do miss seeing him, but everyone deserves a life of their own ? I retired too, so I may know how he feels? You need a break sooner or later? After working for so many seasons on those shows, Richard certainly earned some time for his own interests.. His work is obviously very popular, and the characters were memorable to all of us? Thank you..

    Yes, I also remember when, he was a younger actor and, when, he was in the movies and, he was in some after school specials, he was quite good looking in his younger days and, the new MacGyver series aren’t near as good and does not seem the same without him, he played that role very well!

    Before McGuyver, Richard Dean Anderson was well known among soap fans playing fan-favorite Dr. Jeff Webber on General Hospital from 1976 to 1982. Those of us still watching keep hoping for a return cameo. Looks like that won't happen.

    MacGyver was NOT a secret agent! He worked openly as a do-gooder for a private foundation.
