Was just watching the opening episode of Stargate Universe and almost fell from my seat when Anderson came onto the screen.

Just look at him! What the heck happened to him? :o

Not even that old. I guess its about perspective. :) The pic was prolly taken 7-10 years ago.

Bet he can still do more with a piece of duct tape and gum than I ever can think of.

Its all that chewing gum he had to chew to get the tin foil wrappers to make an airplane out of. :har:

To the OP... "what happened to him"? Its called aging, see what kind of fun is in store for you? ;)

From what I recall Dowly, he had sever back issues from doing his stunts and what not. Bad backs lead to a lot of sitting and less exercise. This would probably account for some of his out of shape look. That and plenty of beer. :03:

probably more a case of unforgiving framming/perspective than utterly fatassness:O: Heh, I only hope to be in that shape at his age (well, a bit better I suppose!)

Ah, didnt know that. :salute:

Ow and that pic is from this year, he has gained quite abit of weight especially on his face. The first scene with Anderson in SGU has him wearing sunglasses and his general's hat and I didnt recognise him until he started to speak.

I thought he'd gained a little around the face when he was chatting to Eli, I thought Don S Davis had come back from the grave for one last episode for a moment. :doh:

I was watching a DVD the other day and there was a promo for the MacGyver Season 1 box set and my dad says "Damn he's young there!"

I said "Well yea, he was going grey in season two of SG-1 and that was over 10 years ago." :haha:

(http://www.answers.com/topic/richard-dean-anderson)Richard Dean Anderson (http://www.answers.com/topic/richard-dean-anderson) is known for having done many of the stunts on the series, though in later seasons he reduced his stunt participation because of accumulating injuries. He injured his back and required a foot surgery because of his accidents working as a stuntman.

(http://www.answers.com/topic/richard-dean-anderson)


I remember his injuries affecting his career and what he would do and not do for stunts. It is just his age catching up to him. I did read that his program was more than than just 60 minutes of dribble. Each episode did attempt to send a message. With exception of the first episode of McGyver he never had a gun. He did not want a gun as a result of some childhood incident that did not end well for his friend. Strange how things shape ones life.

Old age is no joke ;)

Also here is proof that politics as well as age will suck the life out of a person.

Arnold before and after.

You think he would be able to do a face lift with the pen knife and duct tape!

I've been watching DVDs of Boston Legal with a friend. William Shatner is now old. And Fat. And very, very funny. A lot more talented than people give him credit for.

And Candice Bergen has gotten old. And not fat. And very funny as well.

We all get old, and some of us get fat. Somebody's still acting but doesn't look the same anymore? Enjoy their performances.
