Production

During the fifth season, Dana Elcar began suffering the severe effects of aging glaucoma. Because of this, the producers of MacGyver wanted to write him out of the show. Richard Dean Anderson, however, suggested that Elcar’s disease be incorporated into the show, allowing him to continue his portrayal of Pete Thornton.
