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

Lucas Till Opens Up About Reboot

When he found out he was cast, Lucas Till was ecstatic. He sat down and had an in-depth interview to talk all about it. And for starters, his father seemed more pumped than he was!

“When I would do movies he would be like, ‘Oh, that’s so cool’,” says Till, 26, about his dad. “But then when I got MacGyver, he’s been calling me every day, like, ‘Hey, man, let’s hang out. Hey, I got this new idea. Hey, look at this thing I built’,” says the X-Men star, whose father John, a lieutenant-colonel in the US Army, performed as an extra in the program’s first episode.
