He played the eponymous hero Angus MacGyver in the television series MacGyver (1985-1992) and, more recently, Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007). He appeared as himself in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore".
In The Simpsons[]
MacGyver, starring Anderson, has been the favorite show of Patty and Selma for many years, even after it ended. ("Black Widower")
One day, Selma and Patty hold a MacGyver convention and are surprised when Anderson shows up. He explains that he was looking for the convention for his newer and more popular show, Stargate SG-1 and that he only did MacGyver for the pay. Patty and Selma are devastated, so they capture Anderson and tie him to a chair in their apartment so they can have a private convention. Later, they discover that Anderson escaped, but he returns and announces that he loved his MacGyver-esque escape and wants to try it again. They put him through a series of increasingly complex escapes until finally they get sick of doing it. They decide to scare Anderson away by showing him their slideshows, so he jumps out of a window and escapes. ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore")
