Currently employed as an actor for the fairly high-quality Scifi series Stargate SG-1, he was formerly a crafty detective in the 80's hit show McGuyver.

Ha! He was in three:
-MacGyver
-LEGACY
-Stargate: SG-1
Everyone ALWAYS forgets Legacy. like all MacGyver fans forget about ALF
Probably because Legacy only lasted 1 season.

RDA, lately, has starred on Stargate: SG-1 as Colonel Jack O'Neill. But, that will shortly end. Why? Because he wants to spend more time with his daughter, so he's screwing the series. After 7 years, too!

To those in SG communities: I'm SSCarter. I've probably joined your BBoard, so say hi to me!
A friend of mine saw Richard Dean Anderson in the airport and went up to him and said hi. Isn't that awesome? this was before Stargate, though.

Actor in Stargate SG-1 and that older show. He seems to have been in only two shows.
