That's interesting. It's funny, but my mind started going into overdrive when the reboot canon started hinting that they had a more active role for Mac's parents. I started wondering what they would do--and who they might cast.
I have to admit, I was sort of hoping they would bring in Dalton James (SAM) to play the role--even if Mac 1.0 and Mac 2.0 are by no means related; I still think that it would be really cool if James came on the show at some point.
And, I was even hoping that they were considering another unlikely casting choice for Mac's dad. When I saw one of the stills for "Bear Trap + Mob Boss", something hit me that I hadn't noticed before: from at least one angle, Lucas Till looks a little bit like an actor named Alistair Petrie; I first saw him playing a Scottish officer in
Cranford. Now, I'm sort of hoping that they might consider Petrie for a reboot version of "Good Knight MacGyver." Perhaps they might once again do something a little bit different from the original--instead of Mac going backward, they could have him dreaming about ancestor Angus Mac'Iver coming forward, like in Gaumont's
Les Visiteurs franchise (which I only know about from watching John Hughes's English-language version
Just Visiting https://www.imdb.com/tt0189192/. That's an awesome movie!)
