Happy Birthday to Richard Dean Anderson, aka Angus MacGyver, aka Col. Jack O'Neill, who turns 65 years old today. 

Anderson is a Minnesota native who wanted to be a professional hockey player until he suffered a major hockey injury breaking both arms

Anderson started his career in the soap opera "General Hospital" as Dr. Webber.

Anderson starred in the hit television series "MacGyver" for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992.

We watched Anderson move up the ranks from major to general in the "Stargate SG1" adventures from 1997 to 2008.

Anderson has never married.  He did date one of my faves, figure skater Katarina Witt for a time.   He does have a daughter from a dating relationship with Apryl Prose, a wardrobe specialist, who is 16 years old.
