MacGyver: What You Didn’t Know About The Classic Show

Richard Dean Anderson Wasn’t Much of a MacGyver In Real Life

Richard Dean Anderson may have played a resourceful character on television, but in real life, the actor wasn’t exactly having MacGyverisms. Anderson recalled a situation where he was locked out of his house and had to find a way inside. Having been at a cast and crew holiday party that wasn’t much fun, he made his way home only to discover he was locked out. Perhaps there was alcohol involved but Anderson deemed the most efficient solution was to throw a nearby bench through the front window of his home. As a joke, his friend later gifted him a new bench with the Swiss Army symbol on it.
