Angus MacGyver (known as just MacGyver, or Mac) is a title character and the protagonist in the ABC television series ''MacGyver''. He is played by Richard Dean Anderson. He prefers non-violent conflict resolution wherever possible and refuses to carry a gun but will sometimes use one (such as the AK47 rifle he used briefly in the pilot episode). MacGyver works as a problem solver for the fictional ''Phoenix Foundation'' in Los Angeles. Educated as a scientist and with a background from a fictional United States government agency, the Department of External Services (DXS), he is a resourceful secret agent able to solve a range of problems. In addition to his scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items, he always carries a Swiss Army knife and a duct tape. == Personality == The character is portrayed as an outspoken advocate of gun control, although the pilot episode shows MacGyver using a gun on a mission shown in the opening gambit. Even in cases where his improvised devices are used to attack hostile opponents, he is always doing so in self-defense and, if possible, subduing or disabling rather than killing. He is often suspicious of militaristic attitudes within the government; he sees his Phoenix Foundation employer as an alternative to the more conventional (and violent) means of law enforcement. MacGyver is also passionate about social causes, having on several occasions volunteered to help the less-privileged. For example, he conducts hearing research at a school for deaf children,〔Season 2, Episode 9 - "(Silent World )". Works with ''Phoenix Foundation'' research into sound and hearing technology.〕 and helps out in a mountain excursion for delinquent youths.〔Season 2, Episode 5 - "(Final Approach )".〕 MacGyver's persistence and the improvisational nature of his plans make him difficult to thwart, as his nemesis Murdoc pointed out, because not even MacGyver himself knows what he's going to do next. Unlike stereotypical "macho" or stoic action heroes, MacGyver exhibits grief in the face of tragedies, open fear in perilous situations, and shows pain after a fight.〔Season 5, Episode 14 "Log Jam"〕 A sensitive character, Mac has a tendency to blame himself for personal losses and tragedies, like his bad conscience for not being at his mothers deathbed and funeral when he was on a mission in Afghanistan, on one occasion giving up sport car racing after his involvement in a fatal crash, and experiencing a bout of depression after a fatal climbing accident. However, overcoming challenges and successfully saving lives has given him redemption on several occasions. He also appears to be susceptible to remote temporal retrograde amnesia, which he has experienced more than once after physical head trauma. MacGyver is proficient to a greater or lesser extent in Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish,〔Season 2, Episode 15〕 and American Sign Language, and knows how to use International maritime signal flags and Morse code.〔Season 3, Episode 8 - "The Widowmaker"〕 He's an avid outdoorsman with skills including snow skiing, and outdoor survivalism. Despite his acute fear of heights, he's highly skilled at mountain / rock climbing, hang gliding, and parachuting - static line and ripcord / HALO. His other hobbies include ice hockey, racing, and has shown an interest in the arts of painting and guitar, as shown in the episode "The Negotiator". The guitar is an instrument he's played since he was a child, as stated in "The Madonna". His (iconic) haircut is that of a "mullet", in a clean-cut, lightly gelled variation on the classic hairstyle. While never being in an actual relationship, he is always on good terms with his past acquaintances, of which there are many. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angus MacGyver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
