Richard Dean Anderson full Q&A interview panel at Fan Expo Dallas 2018. RDA talks playing MacGyver, Jack O'Neill on Stargate, Ernest Pratt / Nicodemus Legend on Legend, and more!
I met him backstage at FACTS in Belgium. This guy is awesome!! and so nice in person!!! We talked for a while and he really took the time :) Unforgettable experience. RDA is the best!!
I want to thank you so much for posting this video. I am the second audience question and it meant a lot to be able to show a high quality version of this event with my family. One of my best friends in the world sent this to me and I showed it to my brother and some other family.
So happy to see Rick looking so good. Miss seeing him on screen. Am glad he's enjoying retirement he deserves it since he has worked so hard especially for his lil girl who has grown up to a sweet young girl in college now.
He has been in Toronto this month and signed my painting that I made of him. It was nice to get a compliment about the painting from him! He is a pretty humble and nice guy. Would love to meet him again some day.
He looks great and is a wonderful person. Thanks, Rick, for being so willing to meet and greet your fans at the conventions. Now we want to see you back in TV or movies. We miss your acting so much. RDA forever!
After more than 2 decades i am so glad to see Richard looking good and and still involved in charity just as i would have imagined him to be. I still see in him part of my childhood idol macgyver 😊
I first saw stargate atlantis, loved it and bought the entire collection on DVD...then saw SG1 and bought that entire collection. It beats everything they put out there now in TV land.
Such condescendency. He doesnt look "good". Why you guys cant be honest for once, seriously. For a person with 68, he didnt look that "good". But obviously you didnt see many persons with 68. He didnt age well, as you can see in the video.
@@reerjgiorge His skin isn't all wrinkled up unlike some actors who did too much alcohol and drugs. Plus you can see he is moving quite well for a guy that old which means he's been living a good lifestyle. I doubt you'll look and move as good when you get to 70.
When he did his stunts he got a lot of injuries. You can see he’s hurtin. I just love his personality his sense of humor is fantastic. But he looks wonderful. Love him💕
Have had a crush on him for years! They say, never meet your heroes, but from all accounts, he’s a great, funny guy! Would love to meet him! He’s looking good!
I wonder if his back is shot or something. Avoiding the seat while standing around with occasional grimacing leads me to believe he's hurtin'. I hope he is alright.
I commented on a video today from 2017 how he has lost a ton of weight since 2014, he was quite the size. Just seen this video now and he has lost even more. I really hope that can only mean one thing which that there IS a new show coming as he stated a long time ago if he was to return he would have to lose quite a bit of weight
μόλις τελείωσα την σειρά MacGyver και στεναχωριέμε που δεν έχει άλλο!😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭μακάρι να έκανες καλό τον MacGyver ακόμη και τώρα έτσι δεν είναι παιδιά?
I know what he meant about having dialogue and adventures with imaginary people. I did that as a kid. I also had siblings and real friends, but sometimes I'd take off on my bike or just play about in the backyard in a whole different world.
Hey RDA from somewhere in MN - think about a show, episode helping out - bring John F Kennedy Jr back in the spotlight - in a good way - maybe as a Stargate traveler ?
that could be the family guy mcgyver bit, brian goes to stewie's room and says something about their phone being broken and asks stewie to fix it, stewie says something about how he should just buy a new one since todays technology is so solid state it's basically useless when it breaks, mcgyver would just be a regular guy, he wouldn't be able to use any of his tricks, then richard dean anderson comes up and beats stewie and brian bloody with an iPad, says something like "....works for me", opens the closet door and walks through an active stargate. it could even be a "right to repair" commentary. I can do this all day Seth, hit me up
Hi Richard, when will we meet? It is not fun being separated. I am waiting in Surrey British Columbia. Will you bring me my gifts? Looking forward to seeing you for the first time ever. Will be special. Eva
He said the year before that he was going to lose weight, and he did. It was SAD to see him SO overweight, but I've heard that he has some health issues that either caused it or contributed to it. Which apparently is also why he "retired" from acting. Which is VERY sad. His Net Worth is about $20 million, so no matter what people say or think about him, I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank. I hated him on McGuyver, and the show itself. One of these days I'll go back and re-enjoy Stargate SG-1.
@@tmg1262 between the injury problems themselves and side effects of the meds he's on for the effects of those injuries, he's doing well yo be able to move at all.
@@Yesica1993 - Letting you know, Michael Trimm on YT told us this show is more real than we can imagine - as if each story line, is created as real possible situations as we explore the universe via stargate - (a version of time travel).
Too much is NEVER enough. But he's über-wealthy now (supposedly 'only' worth $20 million, but it's probably MUCH higher than that), and has been for MANY years, so why work? I'm surprised he's even doing cons, although he must get off on the adulation and "hero worship" and all that, which is probably pretty addicting.
Not too long ago he said in an interview that he quit Stargate and acting in general to be with his daughter. She's in college now and if the right project comes along he would go back to acting.
No. I finally found out that he had some health problems and a really bad back and wanted to spend time with his family and he's basically just too rich to care anymore. (and he's OLD now) But he still likes the love and adoration and standing ovations of his fans, so he makes occasionally appearances. Plus you can never have too much money.
Is it possible that he is developing Parkinson's? Or he's just terribly nervous because he is not used to the crowd and attention anymore? He is scratching himself everywhere and feels quite uncomfortable in his shirt, he wants to pull it away from his body many times and we can see his sweet belly. :) Not a second staying still. And at the end he decided to hide behind his chair to feel more comfortable but still had the nervous movements. It looks like some kind of neurogical problem but I really hope that I am wrong because he is a great and positive person and he should be healthy and live forever. :)
He looks good here. One video he was over weight with messy long hair and seemed a little loose. The one question I would have for him is has he ever met Kurt Russell?
multiple injuries and broken knees from both macgyver and sg1 ALONG with several surgeries over the years as well on top of that being 68!!!! I mean seriously? you think with all that medication and hell on the body, you're still going to look like a sex symbol? Shut the f*yuck up and move on. the man is lucky to be alive, to have a sense of humor and to still continue to do this.
@@KatieCatWalker thanks for this comment, I'm so sick of the massively rude comments about his weight everywhere when he had illnesses and injuries to contend with that caused it and had no control over it.
User Comment he had major back issues and had two surgeries. Was in a lot of pain. You can see it in some of the panels he’s done where he can’t even sit. There are always reasons why, we don’t always necessarily know them.
I met him backstage at FACTS in Belgium. This guy is awesome!! and so nice in person!!! We talked for a while and he really took the time :) Unforgettable experience. RDA is the best!!
aw man he looks so good!!! bless him.
yea.. he's always looked good. :) looks like he lost a little weight.
His real life persona and sense of humor is pretty much identical to Jack O'Neil's.

He is naturally funny, I think he brought a humorous edge to Stargate by not following his lines.

He is looking WAAAAAAY better!! Wow!
*Happy 70th Birthday Richard*
I'm old enough to remember him on General Hospital as Dr. Jeff Webber. Wow.
I hope he live forever!! ❤
Me too! 💕
Just wanted to write the same...give us another 100 episodes of Macgyver, Legend and SG1 PLEEEEAAAASE! 😢😂
My mom had a big crush on him. She said that she feels safe being with him. lol. My mom watches MacGyver.
I grew up with Macyevr and stargate love both
I first saw stargate atlantis, loved it and bought the entire collection on DVD...then saw SG1 and bought that entire collection. It beats everything they put out there now in TV land.
68 years old? He looks good!

I can’t ever get used to anyone else than him playing MacGyver
Richard looks really good! Great interview, wish I could have been there.
I'm fairly certain that the reason RDA isn't married is because we are married on some alternate timeline... 🤣
He looks way healthier than the convo with Shanks!
Sounds healthier too.
WOW he is starting to look more like the old Richard Dean Anderson! New "SG1" content coming?
Have had a crush on him for years! They say, never meet your heroes, but from all accounts, he’s a great, funny guy! Would love to meet him! He’s looking good!
ADORABLE RICHARD, THANKS VERY MUCH!!!
One of the reasons why I watch sg1 because he's in the show I'm going to watch sg1 again lol
Growing up i idolized Macgyver great show
It was a lot of fun
His daughter's in college. I remember when he proudly introduced his new baby girl.
She hides in the background? Guessing you meant College rather than Collage. Cheers and sorry for the poor humor.
@@stantondinger5836 I don't see well, so I easily miss things. Thanks for the notification. Edited.
True American Action Hero
Even though he changed quiet a bit, he still has that same voice; Clever, sly, smooth talking voice like a secret spy might sound.
😀
Yeah it's called aging lol
Legendary! Always laughed in SG when he would try to be smart "Yeaaaah................... I got nothing" 😊
🤣 Exactly, that's what keeps me still into the series, his simple way of making me laugh and the rest of the cast, but him mostly 😍
@@Connie1Fan I’m with you 😉👍
I love this guy. What else can I say? BTW, he looks great!
I wonder if his back is shot or something. Avoiding the seat while standing around with occasional grimacing leads me to believe he's hurtin'. I hope he is alright.
I love this man!
😅 he's so adorable 💗

I think if you're a human with chronic pain (knees, back) you don't make a mistake voluntarily loosing weight. Poor Ricky😕
Leo Kottke is my guitar hero. RDA is my take-yourself-unseriously hero. Good Q&A. Thanks.
RDA is looking good
Lol i love him, great actor and funny man :D
Wishing I could have been there.
μόλις τελείωσα την σειρά MacGyver και στεναχωριέμε που δεν έχει άλλο!😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭μακάρι να έκανες καλό τον MacGyver ακόμη και τώρα έτσι δεν είναι παιδιά?

I mean he's 68 there like. Lookin good RDA
Lol, I just noticed the length of the video is 38:00 minutes. Not sure if that was intentional.
Why don''t they make great scifi like stargate but super gory like a horror rated 18, R or whatever, it would be so awesome.
Too bad he has GAD, but love the fact he likes to do the comcon's. So fun and enjoyed listening to his stories.
Does he still keep that red Swiss knife?

RIP Richard Dean Anderson
John Spotts - He is still alive but the actor Richard Norman Anderson is not.
Face lift did wonders.
WHY don't people ask him why he's not working anymore, and if he ever will again?
He's been acting since 1976!!!!!!let him ENJOY his retirement! GOOD GRIEF!!!!!
Too much is NEVER enough.
But he's über-wealthy now (supposedly 'only' worth $20 million, but it's probably MUCH higher than that), and has been for MANY years, so why work?

apparently i’m related to him 💀
why didn't he appear on season 9, was he sick? thanks
He left to spend more time with his daughter.
Why did i just read that he Died?
JadaAleesha Dotcom - You were reading about actor Richard Norman Anderson.
he needs to get skinny again
The host needs to be brief when asking questions and quit rambling .
He could still be that silver fox from star gate if he lost weight.

Terrible sound. You should never have uploaded this poor quality video. It doesn't do the subject matter jystice!
it´s too fat nowadays...he don´t care about sport or diet

Hes actually lost weight...
this man is nearly 70. let's see how you look when you are that old.
He looks amazing! And quite frankly alot more lucid and chipper here than over the past few years. Good on him!
I think Rick is really f'n funny, Ronnie Australia 🦘
68 years old? He looks good!
