Although we currently live in a world where it’s possible to control your house through AI, and it’s possible to turn yourself into an emoji through your phone, there is a huge part of us that just hates letting go of the past. This nostalgia center in our brain craves everything retro, and we long to go back to a time where technology didn’t rule the world. Thanks to our obsession with nostalgia, major TV producers have made it their mission to take some of the greatest shows to grace our planet and reboot them into the modern world. These include shows such as the children’s show, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, the hilarious sitcom, Will & Grace, and the fantasy show, Charmed. Yet, one of the most exciting reboots of the decade just has to be the reinvention of the action-adventure TV show, MacGyver.
After first appearing on our screens in 1985, MacGyver quickly became one of the most popular shows of the ‘80s. Yet, after the show came to an end in 1992, fans weren’t ready to remove Angus “Mac” MacGyver from their lives. So, the original producer, Henry Winkler, decided to make our year in 2016 by rebooting the show. Since then, the secret operative has been using his smarts and his intelligence to crack cases and become the coolest man in existence. However, MacGyver is not the only character to impress us, and we can’t help but wonder what these actors are like off camera? Read on to find out…
Lucas Till as Angus “Mac” MacGyver
You know a character is going to be pretty darn impressive if the whole show is named after them – and Angus “Mac” MacGyver is no different. As a highly trained agent within the top secret government organization, The Phoenix Foundation, Mac is the kind of agent who prides himself on his intelligence, his focus, his logic, and his ability to think strategically. Because of this, Mac refuses to use weapons during his missions and instead prefers to use his own mind and his perseverance to overpower his targets. I mean, could he get much cooler than that?
