Biography
Early Life
Anderson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Stuart Jay Anderson and Jocelyn Rhae Carter, and has Irish, Swedish, Norwegian and Mohawk Native American ancestry. He grew up in Roseville, Minnesota and attended Ohio University and St. Cloud State University.
Career
He started his acting career in soap opera (appearing on General Hospital as Dr. Jeff Webber from 1976 to 1981). He also starred as Adam in the television series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (based very loosely on the movie of the same name).
Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver.Anderson came to fame with the hit television series MacGyver which lasted from 1985 to 1992 and was highly successful throughout its entire run.
From 1997 to 2005, he starred as Colonel/Brigadier General Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1, based on the movie Stargate starring Kurt Russell and James Spader. In Season Eight, he opted to have a reduced role in the series due to his reduced availability. Anderson has decided to leave the show as a regular star in Season Nine, preferring instead to make a few guest appearances.
He was presented with an award and made an honorary Brigadier General at the Air Force Association's 57th Annual Air Force Anniversary Dinner in Washington, D.C. on September 14, 2004 because of his role as star and executive producer of Stargate SG-1, a series which has portrayed the Air Force in a positive light since it first premiered. It was presented by the then-Air Force Chief-of-Staff, General John P. Jumper. The last recipient of the award was James Stewart in 1987.
Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1Anderson has always been a great fan of the television show The Simpsons and finally in 2005 he was invited to guest star on the show, which he had continually referenced during his time on SG-1. He voices 'himself' in an episode called Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore (season 17 episode 17, air date April 9 2006) in which he is kidnapped by Selma and Patty Bouvier, Anderson's MacGyver character is a longstanding heartthrob for the sisters of Marge Simpson. Dan Castellaneta, the voice actor who portrays Homer Simpson, made a guest appearance on Stargate SG-1 and, in describing his unnatural ability to see the life events of Jack O'Neill, made reference to O'Neill's fondness for "The Simpsons."
He also appears in the 1997 PC game Fallout as the voice of Killian Darkwater, who was the clever head of the city made entirely of post-nuclear junk (Junktown).
Anderson reprised his role as MacGyver in 2006 when he appeared in a Mastercard commercial during Super Bowl XL.
Private Life
Anderson has a daughter named Wylie Quinn Annarose who was born in 1998 by his partner, Apryl Prose.
He is also an avid ice hockey player and skier and is so much of a fan of the sports that he has deliberately appeared playing these sports in several of his TV shows, including MacGyver.

May be a bit off topic, but isn't O'Neill a Major General now? Wikipedia seems to have him at his highest being a Brigadier General.
Just wondering if anyone who's reading this thread knows.

Just wondering if anyone who's reading this thread knows.Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

Something tells me the point of this thread is to say dumb things like:
RDA once made a cannon out of a dead man's skull and a fire cracker.
or
RDA got lost in the Amazon for seven days. Not only did he survive, but he built a whole city complete with indoor plumbing from the contents of his backpack.
