Anyone else get the feeling that Lucas Till's hair played a role in him getting the part? At least as far as getting him noticed initially.
Nope. Because it was long and scruffy when he was cast and most fans hated it. His hair was one of the major complaints after the trailer was released.

Hm... but I think someone else was responsible for the casting the first time. So maybe yes, his long hair back then was the reason for getting noticed (by casting director Elizabeth Barnes and von Ancken who might have looked for someone with longer hair). Also, it's normal that an actor gets told what to do with his hair. They didn't order him to cut it, so either they wanted it like this, or Till refused (he stated several times that he wants to grow it out) and they thought ok, we don't care about that as long as he can pull off the character.
But I guess it was his talent and his chemistry with George Eads on-screen that got him the role in the end and convinced CBS, Wan, Lenkov and the other producers to let him stay for the new pilot after realizing that MacGyver's hair has a role of its own... Or maybe it was part of the deal (cut the hair or you're out).

As a matter of interest, who was RDA's hand model ? Anyone know?
I bet that's one for Kiwitek, he'll know the answer to this question.
If memory serves me correctly, I *think* it was one of RDA's brothers, but only when his hands were too "gnarly" from playing with one of the SAK's... otherwise, you're seeing RDA's hands.
But... don't quote me on that. XD

Seems really stressful to me, being responsible for two productions shooting at the same time...
I'm sure it is but after seven seasons, i suspect the H50 team are on a smooth rhythm in terms of expectation and creation. Less management on their side and more guidance given to the new baby so to speak.

Yes it was one of his brothers - according to an RDA interview/Q&A they used hand doubles right from season 1 so scenes of hands only could be filmed at the same time as full RDA scenes. But I've also heard him talk about how his hands are scared and gnarly looking and that was also one of the reasons they used a hand doubles as well so I guess two birds with one stone.

Judging from the comments on that Instagram she attracts some pretty low intelligence people, not sure some of them would understand anything MacGyver said.
I just hope the shows not going to cater to the lowest common denominator because the bar seems to be exceptionally low.
