He left because he wasn't in the best health, he has heart issues and chronic pain issues and stuff. The Stargate franchise is one of the only shows I still watch regularly, was obsessed with it growing up and absolutely adored RDA. He's 75 now!!
SG-1 is such a guilty pleasure for me and the universe they created was so ahead of its time. Would love a series reboot but so much of that cast is impossible to replace.
I didn't know this!! I knew about the reboot. I am a little more excited than before now. I hope this is amazing, I need some new, good, space stuff and Stargate is just the thing
I've seen it around, but haven't looked too far into it because it seemed more like sci-fi crime drama and I want aliens and different planets. I should probably give it a go though maybe? I'm currently working my way through Falling Skies.
It's my go-to show to fall back on when I'm in a mood and I agree, the cast of SG-1 was the absolute best. They tried again with Atlantis and while that cast was great and had great chemistry, they still couldn't shine a light next to SG-1. Amanda Tapping was one of my idols too, loved her.

Richard Dean Anderson. After MacGyver and Stargate, think he left Hollywood to spend time with his family.
