Michael Des Barres today announced via twitter that both he and Richard Dean Anderson will be appearing at the Rhode Island Comic Con in November.
This will be the first time we’ve seen the two together since MacGyver ended 1992 and the first time they’ve ever been together in a public setting such as this.
Michael stated in his tweet that he will be there for all 3 days of the convention while Richard is shown on their website as appearing Saturday and Sunday only.
The tweet was accompanied by a rare photo of he and Richard on the set of Strictly Business.
There was no specific wording to say that they will be together on stage but he replied to a fans question asking if RDA will be joining him with a simple “Yes”. This combined with the photo of them together may be an indication that they will be on stage together.
Rhode Island Comic Con runs from Nov 2nd – 4th, 2018.

New York toy maker, artist and writer Shinjo had created 80’s styled figures of MacGyver and of Murdoc. He made 2 sets of the toys, one to present as a gift to each actor, and one to have autographed for himself at the Rhode Island convention. Both actors were so impressed with the toys that they both shared pictures on their respective sites. Shinjo also shared a picture of his two toys with the autographs from their respective actor.
