I was listening to a Bruce McGill interview from the Macgyver podcast and he mentioned the Ma dalton episode. The scene in which his mother rejects him at the bar, dalton really lays into her and lets her have it. The producer steve downing said they had to reshoot his scene. It was too dark , too emotional for Jack daltons character. They didn?t want it to ever go that far. I find that remarkable.
I find that a wise decision ultimately, it wasn?t a drama in that sense, it had its tone and they didn?t want to go another direction. I think McGill was initially upset but I think he understood.
