|  Richard Dean Anderson mini-bio: Richard Dean Anderson is an American actor, possibly best known for his role as the eponymous hero of the popular television series MacGyver and, more recently, as Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1, the longest-running American science fiction series. Anderson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Stuart Jay Anderson and Jocelyn Rhae Carter, and has Irish, Swedish, Norwegian and Mohawk Native American ancestry. He grew up in Roseville, Minnesota and attended Ohio University and St. Cloud State University. He started his acting career in soap opera (appearing on General Hospital as Dr. Jeff Webber from 1976 to 1981). He also starred as Adam in the television series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (based very loosely on the movie of the same name). Anderson came to fame with the hit television series MacGyver which lasted from 1985 to 1992 and was highly successful throughout its entire run.
