MAC GYVER, STARGATE SG-1 : INTERVIEW EXLUSIVE DE L' ACTEUR RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON

Bonjour, je suis Richard Dean Andersen et j'ai été dans la compagnie d'une excellente crew de Legendes, dont vous regardez maintenant. C'était un ancien militaire qui est embauché comme agent secret par une agence et qui à chaque fois se retrouve dans la galère et arrive à se démerder avec un couteau suisse. Il n'a jamais utilisé d'arme à feu pendant les 7 saisons donc c'est ça qui fait un peu la particularité.

Et après Stargate et G1 c'était aussi une énorme série et donc on lui a posé plein de questions à Richard Dean Andersen, ça fait longtemps qu'on ne l'a pas vu à l'image. Ça nous a vraiment fait plaisir qu'il ait accepté l'interview. Et dans Stargate en fait Richard Dean Andersen joue le rôle de Jack O'Neill qui est un ancien des forces spéciales.

Sauf que lui en fait il n'a jamais voulu faire son service militaire, il n'a pas voulu partir au Vietnam. Et il nous raconte un peu son dégoût pour les armes et comment il l'a vécu en fait. Je n'ai jamais servi dans la vie réelle dans le militaire.

Je pense que j'ai perdu. Ce n'est pas que j'étais très difficile pour entrer dans le fray, parce que c'était vraiment le temps du Vietnam. Et un couple de mes amis weren't coming back, donc je n'ai pas voulu aller dans l'armée à l'époque.

Je n'ai pas voulu servir mon pays en tant que forme, en tant que façon. Je n'ai pas, et je n'ai pas encore, un grand fan de killing des gens. C'est juste un truc avec moi.

Et en fait sa manière de jouer, le colonel O'Neill a tellement convaincu l'armée américaine, l'US Air Force, qu'ils l'ont carrément récompensé, il est devenu général honoraire de l'US Air Force. Alors, en shooting, en making Stargate, nous établissons une bonne relation avec l'Air Force. General George Jumper, c'est son nom.

Il venait à voir une production de la shooting de Stargate. La première fois que je l'ai vu, j'ai l'impression que j'avais dû apologize pour le comportement que Jack O'Neill était en train d'avoir dans le temps. Il m'y a dit, « � ringing.

Enchanté m'envoyant. Il m'y a dit, « Est-tu bien avec la façon dont la charactere de behave et activerte ? » Il m'a dit, « Est-tu bien, j'ai l'impression que j'ai l'impression que j'ai l'impression qu'il m'a dit.

Il m'y a dit, « Je suis heureux et ne devait pas changer. » Il m'a dit, je reste n'a dit. Il s'est passé, il m'a dit.

La histoire continue un an plus tard, je crois. Les mots arrivaient juste par le Général Jumper, qu'ils voulaient me défendre avec un bateau de Général. C'est ce qu'on appelle.

J'ai jumpé à l'occasion. Et on lui a demandé pourquoi il avait arrêté sa carrière d'acteur juste après Stargate et il nous a expliqué. En fait, ce que j'ai disparu dans ma vie, j'ai fait conscience, le parti de ma fille, c'est la meilleure chose que j'ai eu passé à me en mai świat.

J'ai eu, beaucoup m'adapté à moi dans mes années. J'ai rencontré, j'ai eu de mes vies, j'ai eu de l'alimentation, et on et on et on. Quand J'ai eu m'y ai, j'ai eu de la science.

J'ai eu vraiment de se faire. J'ai eu de la science. J'ai eu de la science.

J'étais très serious about life in general, which was evident by my behaviour back then. I'll speak in clichés while I'm explaining things or answering certain things, but having a child for me made me a man. Literally altered the course of my life.

She's 24 now, so there's been some time to learn and alter the rhythms of thought about raising a kid. She's a woman now, and I kind of miss the baby part of it. Come on, guys, admit it.

You wish they were young again. I can't say that it was time to retire because I don't think I was necessarily done. Again, when Wiley came along, I had something far more interesting to do, raising a kid is as much of a hardship as it can be.

It's just a ball. I mean, you can't top it with anything. Well, I can't anyway.

Not yet. And for a few years, we've seen a lot of remakes from the 80s, 90s, even 2000. And in 2016, there was a remake of MacGyver, a new version of the series.

And Richard Ian Anderson, the main actor of the first MacGyver series, didn't really like it. Well, personally, I'll speak personally to my situation. I think it's fine.

I mean, I understand business is business. And I can't stand in judgment of someone wanting to make a living, you know, giving you that cold answer. I don't I didn't like what they did with the second MacGyver, you know, bless them for trying and keeping the, I guess the legacy alive.

But I think as far as the concept goes, I think they missed the boat. It didn't seem to me to be true to what had been created. I'm sure they're all wonderful people, very, you know, and creative and nice.

But as far as the franchise, I think they may have done it a slight disservice. Not that it wasn't entertaining. They had to have had a great budget.

I wish I had had half of that, what they had. And it shows the difference between. I mean, look at the difference between a 1980s MacGyver versus a 2000 whatever. 16.

Yeah, great year for the States. You'll know what I'm talking about. Occasionally I'll get a glimpse of of an old MacGyver.

And boy, it's it's old MacGyver. I'll tell you, it's just it reeks of the 80s production wise and maybe even tone wise. It was, I think, a gentler time.

Yeah, I could be wrong on that, but we certainly softened it up a bit. Richard Dean Anderson adore les animaux et particulièrement son petit chien Poppy qu'il a retrouvé mort un jour, mangé par un coyote. Il nous raconte que c'est la dernière fois qu'il a pleuré.

I've had three Australian Shepherds and each one of them is gotten deeper, closer to me. There was Whiskey, my first Aussie, and then Zoe and and then Andy. They could all be on the same team.

But Andy was my my girl. Anyway, she had a my when my mom died, she had just gotten a Havanese. I don't know if you're familiar with breeds, but Havanese is a little dog, was a barker, not a behavior.

Poppy was her name. My mom died and bestowed. So welcome to the family.

I was on the computer in my kitchen. Andy was on. I have a big couch on just outside the back door.

My brother came down about 40 minutes later and said, have you seen Poppy? And I said, no, she was snuggling with Andy a minute, a few minutes ago. Anyway, long story short, we went out searching and what we found were were entrails.

Coyotes had gotten her and taken her off into the woods and started eating her. The shock of that, I mean, mind you, wasn't my dog. I mean, we were tight, but you know, the depth of emotion wasn't very deep.

So poor Poppy got dragged off in there and then torn apart and shredded. And there, you know, all we saw were some of the entrails. I like instantly burst into like those heaving tears that you get when you can't control.

It was the kind I went through when Andy passed. But when Poppy got nailed by this force of nature, this need to eat, it took me a while to intellectualize it to a point where I could be objective and realize that life goes on and all that BS that helps you rationalize mourning. and, I don't know, I'll just ramble on if you don't stop me.

Richard Dean Anderson, he is a retraite today. He told us once he had gone to death by wanting to save his dog from a noyade. Mom had died recently and so I had this dog, Poppy.

She was young enough where she was playful and was always playful. So I was in the backyard playing with a rubber ball and I threw it. I was on a slope.

I threw it and it bounced down a set of stairs of about eight stairs, cement stairs that went down to the pool area, the flat part of cement pool. But right when I threw it and I saw the trajectory of the ball, I knew it was going in the pool. And Poppy wasn't a big swimmer.

So I took it upon my, I mean, it was just pure impulse, jumped into action and started down these stairs to get to the pool to either pull her out or keep her from going in the pool. About the second step I took, which was about mid stairway, I lost a step and I was then airborne and missed the rest of the steps and landed head first right there onto this cement, under this concrete. I sustained a concussion, broke my arm.

And when I hit, it was that moment. I don't know if other people experience these things. I'm sure they do.

There are enough people that it should be experienced. But the minute I hit or even a split second before I hit, I knew I was in trouble. You actually hear the, the word go, words go through your head.

This is it. I don't survive this. My head hitting first.

And I didn't expect to come out of my head bouncing off the ground. Whatever consciousness I lost was momentary. When I kind of, I guess, regained awareness, I was on my hand and knees and blood just streaming out of my head.

I finally got enough consciousness to realize that Poppy was fine. She had naturally instinctually flapped her wings and, and was swimming to the other side of the pool where my brother picked. Anyway, I, there was so much that, uh, changed after that.

Um, not the least of which is my memory. Um, I realized that some things as you probably evident in this interview, things started to become just a little out of reach. Um, well, like an old person experiences and that became the second element of my, um, transition and retirement, which is, you know, things are starting to fail.

Oh, come on. That's so unfair. That's an unanswerable question.

First of all, you have to assume that I think I'm a legend. Well, I mean, there's some obvious notions to, to appease you. Um, if you're around long enough and people view you in a positive life or positive light, um, chances are something's going to stick.

Either it's your personality, um, your, uh, your output of, uh, your charity work, your, uh, your kids, you know, your, your pets, your dogs. Um, I, I think that all kind of adds to it and it's up to the viewer or the person, you know, to whom you've become a legend. Um, to decide, I think.

I, I don't know, again, I'll go back to my original reaction. It's so unfair. It's just not fair.

I don't know, if your kids say something like, God, you're cool, Dad. That, for me, is it. That makes it.

That's legendary. Well, guys, I hope you enjoyed it. It was a first interview.

We didn't have a translator this day. That's why there's no instant translation. I'm not sitting in front of him, like usual.

For the next one, we're going to do it. We're going to meet the stars of the year 90-2000. There, we've already planned to shoot some.

Can you give us ideas of stars of the year 90-2000 in comments? Let us know in comments what you would like to do. Allez-y, really, bombardez-moi, because, really, I'm going to read the message.

It's going to inspire you to know who we could invite. So, let us know in comments all that. Thank you for subscribing, and thank you for being here with us.

We'll see you next time. Bye.
