Just heard Michael Des Barres talking on his radio show about his favorite Murdoc episode..
He's just confirmed that his favorite episode was Halloween Knights. He said he liked it because it showed a vulnerable side to Murdoc. He also said that he really does hate snakes and told the director that he wanted RDA to carry him through the pit because he hates snakes that much.

I just noticed that he seems to be wearing the same skull ring he wears on the show... am I right? lol I haven't gotten through the whole thing yet, and probably won't tonight. But that's awesome he doesn't mind people asking about his role on MacGyver. Murdoc was always my favorite villain.

Another cool (whether it be intentional or unintentional) parallel with Indiana Jones.

I always did half expect Murdoc to say "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?" in that part of the episode. XD

Hah! Excellent
Good job RDA is big and MDB is relatively slight, then! I bet RDA and the gang took full advantage of his being afraid of snakes, and I stand by my guess that the two of them would have been DREADFUL to direct together

Cool to find out. Halloween Knights is amongst my favorites.

That's pretty interesting, though it doesn't surprise me all that much. Seriously, I would give ANYTHING to have been able to watch that scene being filmed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to make fun of people's phobias, but I can't help but find the idea of MDB wanting RDA to carry him hilarious.

That explains a lot, actually.
I really want to know how that conversation went. "Uh, hey, Rick? Yeah, we were just talking to Michael, and, uh...well, we have a bit of a problem with the snake pit... How does your back feel this week?"

I know, right?!
Thinking about it, that DOES make sense. Considering how terrified Murdoc looked, it makes sense that it wasn't completely acted, but was mostly real. MDB's a great actor, but some of that fear was pretty intense for just acting.

Apparently it was RDA's idea, according to the facebook live interview, mentioned in the last 14 minutes or so.
