I noticed that after the last SG-1 show....
I was watching the NEW SGU and the O'NEIL is looking a bit older and chubby

( sorry for my original choice of words )

I don't know IF he will be able or fit to play the Mac Gyver roll on this NEW MOVIE.

I guess they will pick some other actor.... ( I hope not )

Also I didn't know RDA had some health issue...and that's way I wrote this
thread. But now I know what's going on.
So , lets move on.

He still looks good for being 59 and the reason he gained weight is due to the surgerys he's had and the steroids the Dr's put him on. He hasn't been lazy and he isn't happy about his current condition. I know he is planning to work out and loose the weight as soon as he can. Let's not be snarky to someone whose given us so much joy over the years. ok?

I didn't say that to make anybody ungry. It's just what I see.
I did not know about his medical Issue and he is my childhood hero.
I just was asking if you guys noticed...Well let's hope for the best.

BTW how do you know all that ?

Wasn't the foot surgery last year?

I think so, didn't her losse weight after showing up on SGU?

Yes but he still has a way to go. I've kept up on him since 86-87ish since he's been my idol since then. Currently he has been on steroids since his foot and back surgery plus his doctors have kept him from being as active as he's liked. Especially since he's sooo active and building his house on top of everything else. I try to keep up on all the forums regarding him plus I record all the interviews I can. Lately since the 200 episode of SG-1 he's made it very known that he's not proud of his looks and wants the ok to get back into shape. He seems to be making big improvements since a year or so ago. I think the fact that the next SG-1 movie and possible MacGyver movie are coming around the corner willspeed up the process.

We have to remember that on SG-1 he was skinnier than any other time in his life. When the meds made him bloated it was a shock for all of us but really hard on him .
One of the great places to keep up on him is his official website that we've all seen I'm sure. I love that he calls Kate and leaves a message for all of us on his thoughts and what he has coming up.


Glad you didn't mean to sound mean. I think the wording was harsh(even the title) compaired to how it could have been said and I'm quick to defend against what seems to be the new trend of ageism(not that you intended it). I have been so sick of when people said Harrison Ford couldn't be Indy due to his age. He proved them wrong and I'm sure RDA can and will do all we've come to expect when the next movies roll around.

Thank for all the info...
well maybe you could tell me what FORUMS is that or web site where you get
the news. I like RDA but Im NOT hard core fan.
So if you want to PM the info above I will be happy to take a look.

check your PMs

Ok I did some CLEAN UP on my first post.
I hope sounds better now.
M.TEX

Yep. Much better

Yeah, it was difficult for me to see him so out of shape too, especially since he was so fit for so many years. I'm sure he will do his best to get healthy again, though. In the meantime, we can still appreciate his work as fans.
