I actually found one! It's for a movie, tho...and I don't have names... LOL...so it probably barely counts!

The old guy from Faith Hope and Charity was the pastor in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Oddly enough, I didn't see the character listed in the credits to catch his real name.

You're right, good catch!!

no I mean the series which starred Linda Carter.. not the one with Cathy Lee Crosby which was produced the previous year.

I'll use the correct name of "The New Original Wonder Woman" so as to save any more confusion.

Well, the Cathy Lee Crosby production was actually just a TV-movie that didn't really go anywhere. Hmm- I wouldn't have thought most people would even remember that one. I'd still like to see it someday, but I can't imagine anyone other than Ms. Carter in the Wonder Woman role now after having seen the series.

Rickman also starred in the Harry Potter movies and in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Robin Hood:POT also starred Christian Slater, who guest starred in The West Wing
TWW guest starred Renee Estevez, who also guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

Isn't it interesting that the West Wing seems to be the hub of our MacGyver compass.

It sure is! Two great shows, with (seemingly) a million connections. I love it!!

Here's one I just discovered:

The HBO movie Live From Baghdad (the true story of the CNN team that covered the '91 Gulf War from inside Baghdad itself... and was the ONLY news team still in the city when the war started) starred Bruce McGill! Bruce, of course, was the ever-lovable Jack Dalton on MacGyver.

Knight Rider 08 (the new show) co-stars Paul Cambell who also co-starred in Battlestar Galactica.
Battlestar starred Edward James Olmos who made several guest appearances on... you guessed it... The West Wing
TWW guest starred Renee Estevez, who also guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

I'm surprised Quantum Leap hasn't been done as the first and last episode of it starred Bruce McGill.

But I watched a made for Sunday Night Disney movie last night called I-Man that starred Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) that also had John Anderson, Don S. Davis, Dale Wilson, George Josef, Campbell Lane, Garwin Sanford, Ellen Bry, Ted Stidder, Rob Morton, Doug Tuck, & Raimund Stamm. All of whom appeared on MacGyver.

It was quite the Whoa! find.

Wow. Half the cast of the movie is from MacGyver.

Nice find.

Michael Des Barres played the obsitrician who delivered Charlene's baby on the last episode of Roseanne and also played Murdoc on MacGyver. Sorry that is as close as I can get.

Oh here is one that probably won't count for much. The young lady who played Lisa Woodman also played the title character of Blossom in the tv show Blossom that also stared Bill Bixby. Thought about that last night.

All right, here's a few more that run through The West Wing. What else is new?

The movie Dead Poets Society starred Robert Sean Leonard, who currently appears in the series House.
House also stars Lisa Edelstein.
Lisa Edelstein guest starred on TWW as Laurie Rollins, Sam's high-class hooker girlfriend.
TWW also guest starred Renee Estevez, who appeared in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

CSI starred Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle.
Jorja Fox guest starred in TWW as Secret Service agent Gina Toscano.
TWW also guest starred Renee Estevez, who appeared in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

Here's another one using the movie Live From Baghdad:

LFB stars Paul Guilfoyle, who's a regular on CSI. (Or used to be, at least... CSI's cast has changed a lot recently.)

Paul Guilfoyle guest starred on one eppy of CSI:Miami, which stars Emily Procter. Emily guest starred several times on TWW, which also guest starred Renee Estevez. Renee guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.
