Michael Shanks(I)

Was inspired to pursue an acting career while watching future Stargate SG-1 (1997) co-star Richard Dean Anderson film an episode of MacGyver (1985).

[about his character Daniel's relationship with his love interest Janet began] "There seems to be this funny beat that they seemed to have this off-camera familiarity with each other. So we started playing with it. And it became an ongoing thread throughout the show. So whenever we did a scene together, we'd throw in an extra look or an extra glance. I'll let you guys fill in the blank of where it went from there."
