dream cast: hypothetical ‘MacGyver’ movieIt’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: MacGyver, the 1985-1992 ABC adventure series that made a virtue out of nonviolence and the hero’s intelligence and scientific bent. Plus, Richard Dean Anderson was cute as hell. (If you have a suggestion for an 80s TV show or movie we should play with, feel free to email me.) The original cast included: Angus MacGyver: Richard Dean Anderson My dream cast for a modern update: Angus MacGyver: Nathan Fillion Man, do I miss this show: Disqus commentsblog comments powered by Disqus |

Ohhh damn, I had Fillion as MacGyver too but I was stuck on Thornton (Loving your Anderson casting though). After going back to the drawing board im happy with:
MacGyver: Nick Stahl
Thornton: Aaron Eckhart
Murdoc: Billy Boyd
Penny: Franka Potente
Such a great show.

Hey, it's not a contest. You can have Fillion too.
Oo, Franka Potente would be an *awesome* Penny. Totally different than the first one, but awesome anyway.
Hey, maybe Potente should be MacGyver...
