Choose a TV show.. then link it to MacGyver in 6 connections or less. We can probably avoid the obvious SG-1, happy days, knight rider, ST:TNG single connections. Heres some of mine: Dukes of hazzard stared John Schneider. John voiced a charecter in King of the Hill King of the Hill had a character voiced by Lane Smith. Lane Smith starred in Lois and Clark with Teri Hatcher. Teri Hatcher played Penny Parker in MacGyver Viper starred Sydney Walsh who also made an appearence in an episode of Lois & Clark which starred Teri Hatcher who played Penny Parker in MacGyver Automan co-starred Heather McNair Heather McNair co-starred in an episode of Knight Rider. Knight Rider co-starred Patricia McPherson. Patricia McPherson co-starred in an episode of MacGyver. M*A*S*H starred Alan Alder who later starred in West wing West Wing co-starred Adam Arkin over several episodes. Adam Arkin co-starred in Invisable killer episode of MacGyver. |

I think I actually found one that wasn't mentioned! (I'm terrible at these things since I don't actually watch much TV other than MacGyver!) It's a short one: Eric Close stars in Without a Trace. He also appeared in MacGyver as the security guard at the newspaper office in Prometheus Syndrome. |
Posted by: MacGyverGrrl 26 November 2006 - 09:27 PM |
I found one. Bruce McGill co-starred on a s3eason 4 episode of Home Improvement. He also played Jack Dalton on MacGyver. |
Posted by: Amy 27 November 2006 - 04:51 AM | ||
Really? How did I miss that? He's pretty hard to miss! Was it just a couples of eps? |
Posted by: MacNymph 27 November 2006 - 07:16 AM | ||||
It was just one episode. I think he's saying a season 4 episode. Don't know where the 3 came from TYPO! It was a car episode. ARRGH! ARRGH! ARRGH!. Bruce played a collector (Jay Leno type) and Tim screwed up and sold the hot rod to him without discussing it with the rest of the family (the boys helped him build it and were upset) and he had to try and get it back from him (Bruce) |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 27 November 2006 - 11:56 AM |
yep I remember that. They end up buying an old black car which then becomes the second street-rod project for Tim and Brad. Bruce's character was a pizza tycoon who collected rods as a hobby.. I think? |
Posted by: MacGirl 27 November 2006 - 06:05 PM |
Can't believe no one's mentioned this one yet.. or if they have, I haven't seen it. The X-Files starred Bruce Harwood as Byers, one of the Lone Gunmen. Harwood played Willis in several eppys of MacGyver. |
Posted by: MacGyver 27 November 2006 - 07:54 PM |
Kermit the Frog starred on "The Muppet Show". Hal Linden guest starred on a season 5 episode of "The Muppet Show". Hal Linden starred as Barney Miller on... "Barney Miller" along with Abe Vigoda who costarred as Detective Fish. Abe Vigoda guest starred as Bill Cody on the "Harry's Will" episode of MacGyver! |
Posted by: MacGyver 27 November 2006 - 08:03 PM |
Greg Evigan starred on "My Two Dads" with Dick Butkus, who portrayed Ed Klawicki. Dick Butkus guest starred in 3 different episodes as Earl Dent on MacGyver! Here's a pretty cool one! Jerry Lewis starred with Dean Martin in the 1952 movie "Jumping Jacks" (among others, I'm sure) Dean Martin starred on the 1985 short-lived show "Half Nelson" with Dick Butkus! Dick Butkus guest starred in 3 episodes as Earl Dent on MacGyver! |

Charmed starred Shannon Doherty, who also starred in Beverly Hills 90210 along side Jason Preistley, who co-starred in the "blood brothers" episode of MacGyver House MD co-starred Scott Michael Campbell over two episodes. Scott also co-starred in an episode of The West Wing. West Wing co-starred Adam Arkin over several episodes. Adam Arkin co-starred in Invisable killer episode of MacGyver. |
Posted by: MacGirl 11 December 2006 - 11:23 AM |
I've got another one: Northern Exposure featured Adam Arkin. Arkin appeared in the "Invisible Killer" ep of MacGyver. |
Posted by: MacGyver 14 December 2006 - 09:06 AM |
Everyone keeps using Adam Arkin for this thing and I keep thinking of Alan Arkin, so here's one with Alan Arkin. Alan Arkin was in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause as Bud Newman with Tim Allen (as Santa Claus!) Tim Allen starred in Home Improvement Bruce McGill guest starred in a 4th. Season episode- and of course, Bruce McGill was Jack Dalton on MacGyver!!! |

Okay, so you've got me started on Quantum Leap. Of course you have already mentioned Teri Hatcher in Star Crossed. Jason Priestly starred as "Pencil" in the episode The Camakazi Kid. John Anderson starred as "Pat Knight" in The Last Gunfighter. Also in The Last Gunfighter, there is a character named Ben Steiner. And the actor Ben Stein starred in the stolen helecopter episode of MacGyver (I don't know the episodes yet). Oh, and Ben Stein was also in an episode of the Animaniacs. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OratYKWszU8 And that's all I can think of off the top of my head, and based on what's been posted here. |
Posted by: SAK 6 January 2007 - 09:23 AM |
Duh! I forgot about Bruce McGill, who plays "Weird Ernie" in Genesis (the very first episode of the series), and "Al the Bartender" in Mirror Image (the very last episode of the series). |
Posted by: MacGyver 6 January 2007 - 11:14 AM | ||
That episode was "Honest Abe". And yeah- I'm a fan of Quantum Leap too- I knew about John Anderson and Bruce McGill and Teri Hatcher being on there... I'd forgotten about Jason Priestly though- nice catch. |
Posted by: MacGyver 13 January 2007 - 08:31 AM |
I just thought of another pretty obvious Quantum Leap and MacGyver connection that didn't dawn on me until just now. Michael D. Roberts! He was in two episodes of Quantum Leap- and two episodes of MacGyver! He guest starred as Willis Trafford on "The Color of Truth" and as Isaac King on "The Leap Between the States" episodes of Quantum Leap- And as Booker Wilson on "The Challenge" and Dr. Pierre Redemteur on "Walking Dead" episodes of MacGyver! (Note- We can also use Michael D. Roberts to connect MacGyver to one of my favorite short-lived sci-fi shows- Manimal, on which he starred as Tyrone C. Earl) |
Posted by: MacNymph 13 January 2007 - 09:39 AM |
Manimal!! oh oh... and Bring Em Back Alive! Sorry. Flashback outburst. |
Posted by: MacGyver 13 January 2007 - 10:15 AM |
And Automan, Tales of the Golden Monkey, Misfits of Science, Man From Atlantis, Street Hawk and Starman (So many great short-lived sci-fi shows that would be perfect for DVD release...maybe one day) |
Posted by: SAK 24 January 2007 - 10:52 PM |
Everybody Loves Raymond ---> MacGyver Doris Roberts starred in Everybody Loves Raymond as Raymond's Mom (I'm guessing. I've never seen the show.) Doris Roberts starred as Mildred Krebs in Remington Steele, alongside Pierce Brosnan, who starred as Remington Steele. Pierce Brosnan starred as James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies, alongside Terri Hatcher, who starred as Paris Carter. Terri Hatcher starred as Penny Parker in MacGyver. All this from someone who doesn't watch TV... |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 25 January 2007 - 01:47 PM | ||
You can get "recorded from TV" copies on DVD from ebay and a few websites. I don't see any of these ever making it to DVD.. they couldn't make it on TV, so don't see the studios spending money on DVD releases, so these TV copies might be the only versions we'll ever see. |
Posted by: Amy 16 February 2007 - 07:13 PM |
woohoo!!!! I actually found one!!! Well, hubby actually found one...but I get to post it! Bruce McGill played some guy on tonight's episode of Numb3rs (don't ask me who, cuz I don't usually watch it...hubby does) and of course played Jack Dalton on MacGyver! I do have to say they guy looks pretty distinguished with gray hair...he even still had the mustache! |
Posted by: MacGyverGrrl 17 February 2007 - 10:13 PM |
I have another one. About 3 weeks ago I was having another 2:00am insomnia thing going on and while channel surfing I came across a rather bad murder mystery starring Christopher Judge. Christopher was Teal'c on Stargate SG1 with RDA as Jack O'Neill. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the movie. |
Posted by: Lothithil 19 February 2007 - 10:32 AM |
Due South, starring Paul Gross, second season episode 'Starman' guest-starring Amanda Tapping Amanda played Sam Carter on Stargate SG-1, with RDA RDA starred as MacGyver! |
Posted by: MacGyver 19 February 2007 - 01:52 PM | ||
Speaking of Starman, Robert Hays starred in the titular role on "Starman" (the 1986 TV series) and Patricia McPherson guest starred on the "Fatal Flaw" episode and of course, she also guest starred on the "Jack of Lies" episode of MacGyver! And Jeff Bridges starred in the titular role in the 1984 movie "Starman", which also starred Dirk Blocker as a cop, and he also guest starred on the "Blood Brothers" episode of MacGyver as Chuck. |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 19 February 2007 - 05:15 PM |
Men in Trees starred Justine Bateman who also starred in 4 episodes of Lois and Clark with Terri Hatcher. Terri Hatcher played Penny Parker in MacGyver Grey's Anatomy co-starred Isaiah Washington, who co-starred in an episode of Touched by an angel along side Della Reese, who played mama Colton in MacGyver |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 19 February 2007 - 06:07 PM |
And now lets move into shows from this century.... Shark co-stars Alexis Cruz, who also co-starred in SG-1 which starred RDA, who played MacGyver Heroes co-stars Greg Grunberg, who also co-stared in an episode of House MD House MD co-starred Scott Michael Campbell over two episodes. Scott also co-starred in an episode of The West Wing which co-starred Adam Arkin over several episodes. Adam Arkin co-starred in Inviable killer episode of MacGyver. Casino stars Vanessa Marcil, who also starred in Beverly Hills 90210 (for 2 years) Beverly Hills 90210 starred Jason Priestley, who stared in the blood brothers episode of MacGyver |
Posted by: MacGyver 20 February 2007 - 12:07 PM | ||
Justine Bateman also starred on Family Ties!!! (one of my favorite sitcoms) (which, incidentally, released on DVD today!!! ) |
Posted by: SAK 21 February 2007 - 02:18 AM |
Okay, how about a 6-degree circle? Or actually a figure 8, if you want to be quite proper... MacGyver---> MacGyver (with MacGyver in the middle) Terri Hatcher starred as "Penny Parker" in MacGyver. Terri Hatcher also starred as "Donna Eleese" in one episode of Quantum Leap. Beverly Mitchell starred as "Becky Pruitt" in one episode of Quantum Leap. Beverly Mitchell also starred as "Lucy Camden" in Seventh Heaven. Catherine Hicks starred as "Annie Camden" in Seventh Heaven. Catherine Hicks also starred as "Dr. Gillian Taylor" in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. George Takei starred as "Mr. Sulu" in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. George Takei also starred as himself in one episode of Third Rock from the Sun. John Lithgow starred as "Dick Solomon" in Third Rock from the Sun. John Lithgow also starred as "George Henderson" in Harry and the Hendersons. Lanie Kazan starred as "Irene Moffat" in Harry and the Hendersons. Lanie Kazan also starred as "Aunt Meg" in Touched by an Angel. Della Reese starred as "Tess" in Touched by an Angel. Della Reese also starred as "Mama Colton" in MacGyver. So there's your circle. Where's the figure 8, you ask? Well the loop that makes it a figure 8 is George Takei, who starred as Dr. Shen Wei in an Episode of MacGyver! (The Wish Child) |

Very nice! |
Posted by: MacGyver 21 February 2007 - 02:38 PM |
Here's a pretty direct connection I didn't realize existed until I watched the movie again the other day. Sidney Poitier starred in "To Sir, With Love" alongside a young Michael Des Barres!!! And of course, Michael Des Barres later guest starred as Murdoc alongside Richard Dean Anderson in the titular role on MacGyver! |
Posted by: MacGyver 27 February 2007 - 12:35 PM |
Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson starred as Joe and Frank Hardy on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. Elyssa Davalos guest starred as Wendy Bonner on "The Mystery of King Tut's Tomb" episode. And of course, Elyssa Davalos later starred as Nikki Carpenter on MacGyver! |
Posted by: MacGyver 27 February 2007 - 12:50 PM |
Okay- here's one for Amy! (Any me and any other G.I. Joe fan on here) Edmund Gilbert was the voice of General Hawk on G.I.

I'm starting to lose track of which ones I'v already done... Lost stars Terry O'Quinn Terry O'Quinn co-starred in 7 episodes of The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver It seems that The West Wing is a major link to many episodes, both old and new... heres another example... Reno 911 co-stared Thomas Lennon Thomas Lennon guest-starred in 2 episodes of Friends Friends co-starred Mathew Perry. Mathew Perry guest-starred in a couple of episodes of The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver And yet another one... Psych stars Dulé Hill Dulé Hill co-starred in The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver You've probably guessed by now that I'm a huge fan of The West Wing. |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 9 March 2007 - 03:41 PM |
Many of you will have heard of Coronation street.. the worlds longest running soap drama from England..... So heres how it links to MacGyver Coronation Street co-starred John Saint Ryan over several episodes. John Saint Ryan also starred in General Hospital along with RDA RDA starred as MacGyver We can also use John Saint Ryan to link... SeaQuest DSV, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Babylon 5, Murder She Wrote, MANTIS and Gargoyles. |
Posted by: MacGyver 10 March 2007 - 01:44 PM |
Have we actually done one yet for Kevin Bacon, the actor for whom this game was named? Here's a pretty short chain. Kevin Bacon made one of his earliest (if not, the earliest) appearances as Chip Diller in the 1978 movie "Animal House", which also starred Bruce McGill as Daniel Simpson "D-Day" Day And of course, Bruce McGill also guest starred many times as Jack Dalton on MacGyver! |
Posted by: MacGirl 11 March 2007 - 08:36 PM |
Has anyone mentioned this one? We can connect MacGyver to Ferris Bueller's Day Off via Ben Stein (he played the teacher in FBDO). |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 12 March 2007 - 01:36 AM |
Married with children co-starred Katey Sagal Katey guest starred in 3 episodes of Lost Lost stars Terry O'Quinn Terry O'Quinn co-starred in 7 episodes of The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver Magnum PI starred Tom Selleck Tom has a reoccurring role in Boston legal Boston legal guest starred Adam Arkin. Adam Arkin quest stared in the "invisible killer" episode of MacGyver Boston Legal looks to be quite a linking machine also..... Due to the large amount of guest actors. Designing women co-starred Delta Burke Delta guest starred in an episode of Lois and Clark which starred Teri Hatcher as Lois Teri hatcher played Penny Parker in MacGyver Charmed co-starred Alyssa Milano Alyssa co-starred in Who's the boss? Who's the boss guest-starred Betty White for 2 episodes Betty White guest starred in several episodes of Boston Legal Boston legal guest starred Adam Arkin.

Posted by: MacGirl 12 March 2007 - 11:00 AM |
All right, gang, I did some major brainstorming last night, and I've got a whole bunch for ya. Emily Procter currently appears on CSI:Miami as Calleigh Duquesne. She also appeared in The West Wing. The West Wing starred Renee Estevez over several eppys. Renee Estevez appeared in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. (Like Rocky, I'm an incurable 'Wing Nut'!) The movie Ray had Richard Schiff in a small role. Richard Schiff played Toby on TWW. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip stars Bradley Whitford, who played Josh on TWW. The movies Kiss of Death and Session 9 both starred David Caruso, who plays Horatio Caine on CSI:Miami, which leads back to the Emily Procter/TWW connection. ER starred Khandi Alexander, who plays Dr. Alexx Woods on CSI:Miami, which again leads back to the Emily Procter/TWW connection. NYPD Blue connects two ways: through David Caruso (see above) and through Jimmy Smits, who appeared in several eppys of TWW. The movie City of Angels stars Nicholas Cage, who also appeared in Kiss of Death alongside David Caruso. By logical extension, that also connects every movie with Nicholas Cage back to MacGyver. CSI:New York spun off of CSI:Miami (it started as the season 2 finale of Miami), so there's another connection for you. The Sopranos starred Gary Sinise, Vanessa Ferlito, and Carmine Giovinazzo, all of whom appear on CSI:NY, again leading back to the CSI:Miami/TWW connection. The movie Ransom, starring Mel Gibson, costars Gary Sinise, so that also leads back to the CSI:NY/CSI:Miami/TWW connection. By logical extension then, we can also connect every movie with Mel Gibson to MacGyver! (These are starting to get a little far afield, but this one is still only five steps.) 24 guest starred Vanessa Ferlito over several eppys. Vanessa Ferlito appeared in BOTH CSI:NY and The Sopranos. The movies Stand By Me and Flatliners both featured Kiefer Sutherland, who also appears in 24, which also starred Vanessa Ferlito, which again leads back to the CSI:NY/CSI:Miami/TWW thread. CSI connects two ways: through Paul Guilfoyle, who plays Detective Brass, and also appeared in the movie Session 9 with David Caruso. CSI also connects through Marg Helgenberger. Family Ties also connects to MacGyver through Justine Bateman, who appeared alongside RDA in "In the Arms of a Stranger." Oh, and of course, now we can also connect every movie with Martin Sheen in it to MacGyver, again through TWW. Whew! How's that?? |

Superman Returns co-stared James Marsden as Richard White. James Marsden guest-starerd in an episode of Touched by an Angel Which starred Della Reese.

Rice Little guest starred in the "Harry's will" episode of MacGyver The 4400, Supernatural, Tru Calling, walker Texas ranger all guest starred Shane Meier. Shane played young MacGyver in the "Harry's will" episode of MacGyver and heres an interesting full circle with Shane... Shane Meier played a young MacGyver in the "Harry's Will" episode of MacGyver Shane also appeared in an episode of SG-1 alongside RDA RDA was MacGyver So you could say both MacGyvers have been in both shows |

The man also did an episode of McGyver too, Dose that work? |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 12 March 2007 - 08:17 PM |
NO. Because John Pertwee died in 1996.. Harry Potter was made in 2001. So theres no way he was in Harry Potter Footnote: MacGyver has an A in it. |
Posted by: MacGyver 12 March 2007 - 08:20 PM |
Whoopi Goldberg's character on Star Trek: The Next Generation was Guinan, bartender of the Ten Forward lounge. |
Posted by: MacGyver 12 March 2007 - 08:28 PM |
However, Jon Pertwee did guest star on an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles- "Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen" This series starred Sean Patrick Flanery as a younger Indiana Jones- and of course, he also guest starred on an episode of StarGate SG-1, in which Richard Dean Anderson starred as Jack O'Neil! |

MASH starred Alan Alda. Alan Alda starred in The West Wing. The West Wing guest starred Renee Estevez. Renee Estevez guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. The movie Bobby starred Martin Sheen Martin Sheen starred on The West Wing, alongside Renee Estevez. Renee Estevez guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. The movie Bobby also starred Helen Hunt. Helen Hunt appeared alongside David Caruso in Kiss of Death. This again leads back to the CSI:Miami/WW connection. |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 13 March 2007 - 11:41 AM | ||
OK.. we're at the stage now where we need to look back through the thread to make sure our connections haven't already been listed. |
Posted by: MacGirl 13 March 2007 - 11:55 AM |
Here's a few more... all involving our dear Dana Elcar: Hill Street Blues guest starred Dana in 1 eppy. This connects both directly to MacGyver, and also through the David Caruso/CSI:Miami string. ER starred Dana in 1 eppy. Again, a double connection: both directly, and also through the Khandi Alexander/CSI:Miami string. Falcon Crest and Car 54 Where Are You each starred Dana in one or more eppys... a direct connection to MacGyver. Finally, here's a really interesting one: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers starred Dana in 1 episode, and ALSO starred Richard Dean Anderson! |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 13 March 2007 - 01:20 PM |
Actually Dana's been in quite a few different shows... Heres a few of the better know ones... Law & Order Matlock Riptide Scarecrow and Mrs. King Herbie, the Love Bug Benson Battlestar Galactica The Nude Bomb Eight Is Enough B.J. and the Bear One Day at a Time Police Story The Six Million Dollar Man The Rockford Files The Waltons Kung Fu The Partridge Family Bonanza Ironside |

Well, here's a good one. David Joyner, for a time, portrayed Barney- yes, the big purple dinosaur (that I really didn't and don't watch, but anyway...) He also guest starred in some episodes of ER.

Jerry Van Dyke starred on one of the least well-remembered shows ever- and considered by some to be one of the worst-"My Mother, the Car" (so I guess, you could techincally say "Knight Rider" was a rip off of this show- except that it was WAY WAY WAY cooler! ) Nacho Galindo guest starred on "My Mother, the Car" as the second to portray Pedro. He also guest starred on Gunsmoke, which Dana Elcar also guest starred on. And Dana Elcar starred as Pete Thornton on MacGyver! |

I prefer sudoku, myself. Here's another that hasn't been mentioned yet. NCIS stars Mark Harmon. Mark Harmon guest starred on several eppys of TWW. TWW regularly guest starred Renee Estevez. Renee Estevez appeared in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. |

Okay, here's a really cool one! I'm gonna go it a bit backwards though... Peter Egan guest starred as Frederick on the 1994 TV-movie "MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday", with Richard Dean Anderson in the title role as MacGyver, of course! Peter Egan also guest starred on a British show that ran almost exactly 20 years before MacGyver did. And for the same amount of time- 7 years. From 1965 to 1972. What's really ironic but really cool is the name of the show. "The Troubleshooters". But that's not all. Get this- This show also starred Ray Barrett as "Peter Thornton"!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159187/ I wonder if Lee David Zlotoff ever saw this show... |

Here's another one that I don't think has been mentioned yet. Northern Exposure starred both Adam Arkin and Anthony Edwards over several eppys apiece. This leads to two connections: Northern Exposure starred Adam Arkin over several episodes. Adam Arkin starred in several eppys of TWW. TWW also starred Renee Estevez over several eppys. Renee starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. Anthony Edwards starred in ER. ER also starred Dana Elcar in a few eppys. Dana was our beloved Pete on MacGyver. I haven't seen Northern Exposure in years... anyone else remember this *very* quirky series?? |

Well, this is kinda related- I just discovered an interesting connection between Bruce McGill and Wai Kulff! (Other than the obvious!) Both guest starred multiple times on MacGyver, of course- but both also share an Indiana Jones connection! Bruce McGill voiced the character of CIA Agent Simon Turner in the 1999 "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" video game and Kai Wulff voiced the characters of Richter and Soldier 3 in the 2003 "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" video game! Just thought that was cool. |
Posted by: MacGyver 9 August 2007 - 12:24 PM |
Okay- I dug this thread back out because I've been wanting to make a connection with a particular actress I keep finding on IMDB when I look for MacGyver. Believe it or not, there's a real actress named Mary MacGyver! (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1272435/) Come on- I just gotta do this one! She's apparently only appeared in 1 production of any kind- the 1989 movie "Mind Trap" She appeared in this with Lyle Waggoner, best known as Steve Trevor on "Wonder Woman"- but he also guest starred on an episode of "Hardcastle & McCormick"- and Dana Elcar, Pete Thornton on "MacGyver", has also guest starred on "Hardcastle & McCormick". Okay there you go- very tenuous connection, but there nonetheless! |

This also connects MacGyver to Simon & Simon because Jameson Parker guest starred on Whiz Kids as his character of A.J. Simon. |

A reminder here that degrees should be based on the TV show or movie, not the actors. e.g. The Australian drama series The Flying Doctors starred Lenore Smith. Lenore Smith guest starred in 2 episodes of Farscape Farscape starred Ben Browder who went on to star in SG:1 SG: 1 starred Richard Dean Anderson, who played MacGyver |
Posted by: j12752 8 September 2007 - 03:37 AM |
?????? Is something here not listing actors in a TV show or movie to connect with RDA? Or should we highlight the TV show/Movie so all will know it is a TV show? Charlton Heston starred in "The Colbys" with Stephanie Beacham Stephanie starred in an episode of "Legend" with RDA who played "MacGyver" |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 8 September 2007 - 04:05 AM | ||
Your connecting James Earl Jones to RDA... Actor to actor A show to show connection would look like this... Will and Grace guest-starred Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon co-starred in A few good men A few good men co-starred Tom Cruise.

I'm sorry, I guess I must be dense, I don't see the problem James Earl Jones also appeared in Will & Grace, or should I have said Will & Grace guest starred James Earl Jones? Or are you just connecting TV Shows/Movies to the show MacGyver? It's early here, and I'm just waking up with my morning tea. |
Posted by: MacGyverOnline 8 September 2007 - 04:14 AM | ||

A long time ago, not necessarily in a galaxy far, far away, George Takei starred as Lt. Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek. And of course, he also guest starred in "The Wish Child" episode of MacGyver, thus connecting William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForrest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig and Majel Barrett with MacGyver- and of course, James Doohan (Montgomery "Scotty" Scott) adds to the connection by guest starring as Speedy on "Harry's Will". |

Choose a TV show.. then link it to MacGyver in 6 connections or less. We can probably avoid the obvious SG-1, happy days, knight rider, ST:TNG single connections. Here's an example: Dukes of Hazzard stared John Schneider. John voiced a character in King of the Hill King of the Hill had a character voiced by Lane Smith. Lane Smith starred in Lois and Clark with Teri Hatcher. Teri Hatcher played Penny Parker in MacGyver |

Calleigh is played by Emily Procter. Emily also appeared on The West Wing. TWW featured Renee Estevez in a recurring role. Renee appeared in the "Bushmaster" eppy of MacGyver. And now for another one... Dances With Wolves starred Kevin Costner. Kevin also starred in The Guardian with John Heard! So we can now connect every one of Kevin Costner's movies to MacGyver!! And here's another one: The Butterfly Effect starred Ashton Kutcher, who appeared in The Guardian alongside Kevin Costner. The Guardian also featured John Heard... etc. etc. So now every one of Ashton Kutcher's movies also connects to MacGyver! |

Well, the Cathy Lee Crosby production was actually just a TV-movie that didn't really go anywhere. Hmm- I wouldn't have thought most people would even remember that one.

Looks OK to me. Here's another one. The Karate Kid (the original one) starred ,the late great, Pat Morita as Mr. Mayagi. Pat co-starred in early seasons of Happy Days Happy days co-stared Henry Winkler as Fonzie. Henry Winkler not only guest starred in the Harry's Will episode but was also co-executive producer of MacGyver note: Marion Ross also appeared in the Harry's will episode, she also co-starred in Happy Days, so we have a double connection. |

Here it goes. I hope no one else has caught this. The A-Team stars Dana Elcar in two episodes. Once in Double Heat as accountant George Olson and again as Judge Leonard Mordente in Judgement Day.

HOW ABOUT A LEVERAGE ONE plus that of Star Trek: The Next Generation? Well, Timothy Hutton is Nate Ford from Leverage directed by Jonathan Frakes who is Commander William Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation who had John DeLancie as guest star (he played Q) and he did guested several times in MacGyver. Tim Hutton was the lead star of 1981's Taps and Tom Cruise was his co-star (so was Sean Penn). That comes to the Top Gun/ER connection (plus that of A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire and the Mission Impossible movies) to MacGyver. Wil Wheaton guest started three times on Leverage (and is a regular guest on The Big Bang Theory, which leads us to yet another MacGyver connection through Sheldon's "girlfriend") which Jonathan Frakes is directing. He's from TNG too (he played Wesley Crusher) and that leads us to MacGyver yet again through John DeLancie. More now: Star Trek:Deep Space Nine started Avery Brooks as Captain (formerly Commander) Benjamin Sisko, with Nana Vistor playing Bajoran officer Major Kira Nerys. She guest stared in a few episodes of MacGyver. Star Trek Voyager started Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway with Robert Picardo as the Emergency Medical Hologram (he guest started on that role in Star Trek: First Contract, directed by Jonathan Frakes, leading us back to the TNG connection). He also guest started in several episodes of Stargate SG1 with no else than Robert Dean Anderson who is... MacGyver. (He's also on Stargate Atlantis) BTW this also leads us to the Boston Legal link since Jeri Ryan also plays Seven of Nine in Voyager. |
Posted by: JMRAMOSSG01 3 July 2012 - 05:34 PM |
Thus, through the connections started earlier, we can now link Leverage to MacGyver. One more thing: Leonard Nimoy stared in Mission Impossible as Paris, leading us to Star Trek: The Original Series and its MacGyver links with two of the "Big 7" (James Doohan and George Takei) guest staring on the show. |
Posted by: JMRAMOSSG01 3 July 2012 - 06:01 PM |
Brent Spiner plays LTCDR Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation and in all 4 TNG movies. TNG had John DeLancie as a guest star and he guest started in several eppys of MacGyver |

This is a bit like a game we play on long car journeys, except that we specify 2 actors at the start and have to find films that link them together. The winner is the one who links the actors with the least number of films. For example: Sylvester Stallone to Robert Downey Jr. 1. Stallone was in Tango and Cash with Kurt Russell 2. Kurt Russell was in Escape from New York with Harry Dean Stanton 3. Harry Dean Stanton was in Avengers Assemble with Robert Downey Jr. or... 1. Stallone was in The Expendables with Jason Statham 2. Jason Statham was in Snatch with Brad Pitt 3. Brad Pitt was in Mr & Mrs Smith with Angelina Jolie 4. Angelina Jolie was in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow with Jude Law 5. Jude Law was in Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. First one wins because it's shorter. Want to give it a try? How about Richard Dean Anderson to Alan Rickman? |
