Matthias and I have discussed the »MacGyver« issue via email and I just wanted to say that it really may appear (through my wording) that I confused Don Davis with Dana Elcar.
This is not the case however (I did confuse them once, when I started to watch »SG1« and thought the character Hammond was played by Elcar. The credits made me realize my mistake.).
But, being the »MacGyver« fan that I am I remembered Davis from the show and maybe my enthusiasm made me phrase that particular sentence in a confusing fashion. Sorry for that.

BTW, anyone in or near Dresden who owns »MacGyver« on DVD and is willing to lent it to me for watching? ;)

I didn’t know that Don played some minor roles in two MacGyver episodes. I only knew about his work as a stunt double. But then again, I’m no MacGyver expert.

However, I guess these roles are not what he will be remembered for.

I heard it monday or so, couldn’t believe it. Kinda like the whole Heath Ledger thing :-(

I read a few days ago that Don S. Davis actually stunt-doubled Dana Elcar. Two of my favorite TV Shows as a Teenager connected – cool.

Actually, Don appeared in two episodes of MacGyver.

It is true that Don Davis also appeared in “MacGyver”, but he was only a stunt double. You must not confuse him with Dana Elcar who played Pete Thornton of the Phoenix Foundation.

Anyway, rest in peace, Don! :)
