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.

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.
