No one could solve a world problem with duct tape better than Richard Dean Anderson, the original MacGyver. The 1980s heartthrob masterfully played Mac on ABC’s original seven-season run of MacGyver (1985-92); for sci-fi fans, he’s just as beloved as Colonel Jack O’Neill from Stargate SG-1. However, while the actor has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years, Anderson remains deeply connected to the fans who helped make him a star and regularly attends conventions.
