Born:
January 23, 1950
in
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Best Known For:
Action series MacGyver.
Early-life:
Born on January 23, 1950, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, Richard is the eldest of four sons. His father was a teacher, his mother an artist. He originally intended to become a professional ice hockey player, but two broken arms at 16 shattered his dream. He abandoned studying drama at university, and worked as a mime artist and juggler in San Francisco to make ends meet. He also fronted the short-lived band Rickie Dean and Dante.
Career:
In 1976, Anderson began a five-year stint in the daytime soap General Hospital. He also starred in a TV production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and guested on various series. In 1985 he landed the title role in adventure series MacGyver, which was a global hit. Various hit-and-miss TV series followed, before he was cast as a heroic pilot in the blockbuster miniseries Pandora's Clock. A year later he made his debut as Jack O'Neill in the series Stargate: SG-1, a spin-off from the hit 1994 film. He left that show in 2008 to spend more time with his daughter, and has since appeared in five episodes of the TV series Fairly Legal.
Quote:
"I'm less reactionary now than I was early on, because if people were rude and insensitive to any given situation, I would be rude and insensitive right back."
Trivia:
He is a supporter of the Waterkeeper Alliance, an organisation trying to stop water pollution.
