I've always thought it looks like RDA connects well with his child co-actors on screen; good to know it really is the case. I like the SAK connection here too; I was given one as a youngster too (which I still have) and always look out for SAK uses in the episodes as you can probably tell from my comments every time MacGyver picks a lock with one!Alnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-80314336640620689752015-03-18T21:33:30.896-05:002015-03-18T21:33:30.896-05:00Wow, great story, thanks for passing along.

Very nice indeed for him to contact Victorinox to replace the lost Swiss Champ.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-50233553925293505862015-03-18T20:36:00.674-05:002015-03-18T20:36:00.674-05:00Great interview and questions.

I also collect Swiss Army Knives and McGyver is my favorite show.We made kind of a connection over collecting the knives.<br /> I lost my Swiss Champ a few weeks ago and mentioned it to him,how disappointed I was since I had it since 1992. He passed that onto Victorinox without telling me.They contacted me and let me know they were replacing it. Pretty cool of him and the company.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258897604713299247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-35225291743902835762015-03-18T19:22:01.498-05:002015-03-18T19:22:01.498-05:00I like the bit about the Swiss Army Knife collecti...I like the bit about the Swiss Army Knife collection also. I have a few scattered about (including one I carry with me) - I'm sure the show was a boon to the pocketknife industry.

I most connected with his line about carrying that "MacGyver" script with him everywhere he went when he got cast for as Jacob Miller in "The Outsiders". I would totally have done that in elementary school as well. Also very cool that he collects Swiss Army knives. The passion this show produced among fans can't possibly be overstated. <br /><br />I found it interesting that he said it doesn't work that way in the business now regarding gradually escalating from being an extra to later getting speaking roles. Amazing to consider how many elaborate sound stages were built on "MacGyver" back in the 80s compared to the CGI that replaces it today. Seems like there was probably crew members in a permanent stage of construction on the set.<br /><br />Another great story of how Richard Dean Anderson was a pleasure to work with. Hard to believe there'd be too many actors who would remember a child guest star two years later. Not a big surprise that Kaj liked working with Michael Chiklis on "The Commish" as he's always struck me as someone who'd probably be likeable too. Crazy to think that when that show premiered, Chiklis was only 28 years old.<br /><br />Thanks much to Kaj-Erik Eriksen (surprised his surname is Danish....I always though the "sen's" were usually Swedish) for an excellent interview and good luck with "See No Evil 2" and future endeavors. Not sure if I mentioned this but Katherine Isabelle also had a recurring role in the dark NBC series "Hannibal" last season.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-49810697605412866642015-03-18T13:58:17.232-05:002015-03-18T13:58:17.232-05:00Thanks for reading, Larry!
