Richard dean Anderson started of thinking he was going to be a Professional hockey player but ended breaking both of his arms in separate incidences which after that he just put being a Professional hockey off and started exploring the field of acting and got interested in acting. In high school he took a drama and ended up liking it and started getting ready to make a career in acting.
After high school he went to college to get a degree to make it easier to get a job in acting but he ended up dropping out a few month before he got his degree. As result of him dropping out he had to move to California where he got a job as a mime at renaissance fair. He then got in a band with his friend which lasted for a couple of years. Then soon after that he landed a big act as Dr. Jeff Webber in General Hospital which lasted him for five seasons and was 1976 thru 1981 and is what really launched his acting career.
But after General Hospital he stumbled and was in some minor roles for a couple of shows for five years these small jobs continued. Then a big audition came up for a show called MacGyver and he acted in front of the people poking for a role and they ended up hiring right after the audition. Which the role lasted him seven years. His next and last big show was star gate which lasted him 10 years.
"Like many boys growing up in Minnesota, Richard dreamed of becoming a professional hockey player. However, at the age of 16, he broke both arms, in separate accidents three weeks apart, while playing in high school hockey games. He put aside his dreams of playing professionally, though he still harbors a deep love for the sport."( Kate R)
