Happy Birthday Rick, and may you have many, many, many more!!
I wish you lots of luck in all your future projects, and if that means that Stargate has to end, so be it - but I will miss it. 
I understand that your time with Wylie is precious, but I still can't help wishing that we could see more of you in Stargate. Your humour is what makes it so special!!
Have a fantastic day on your birthday, and all the very best - I just wish I could tell you this in person!!

Richard,

At the age of 5 3/4 years I suppose I'm one of your biggest kiddy-fans. Excuse my English. I try my best but there are so many differences between my language and yours. Besides Puh-the-Bear, your series eg. MacGyver and the rest of it like Stargate (but I'm not allowed to watch it!!!!!! My mommy thinks that I'm too young for it. ) are my favourite movies. I love your series of MacGyver. It's very interesting. My mommy doesn't understand the fascination of it. 
I wish a happy birthday and a big birthday cake (like Jack O'Neill would say, I suppose).

A Birthday Prayer for a Beautiful Person!!
Celebrating Your Birthday with a Prayer
by Emily Matthews
A prayer for you that brings to mind
so much of how you live -
The love you show,
the gifts you share,
the happiness you give....
Lord, grant me the gift of a generous heart
that embraces each person I see -
A heart reaching out
in true kindness and caring
to share all the best that's in me.
Lord, grant me the gift of bright, happy spirit
that joyfully faces each day -
A spirit that's loving
and gently shines through
in my actions and each word I say.
Lord, grant me the gift of a wonderful life
that fulfills what I'm sent here to do -
A life that is lived
in richness and beauty
of serving and following you.
A wish for a day that is wonderfully blessed
by all of the gifts in this prayer -
A day that reflects
your own deep, inner beauty
and all the joys that you share.
Happy Birthday!!
Hugs & Kisses,
From Stephanne
A Birthday Poem From the Dog
You feed me when I'm hungry,
You keep water in my dish,
You let me sleep on anything,
or in any place I wish.
You sometimes let me lick your hands,
or even lick your face,
Despite the fact I've licked myself,
in every private place.
You taught me how to come when called,
You taught me how to sit,
You always let me go outside
So I can take a @@@ Stroll.
I've been with you through oh, so much,
Through laughter and the tears,
I hope you live to be a hundred....
...(that's 700 in doggy years.)...
Happy Birthday!!
Love,
From The Pup

I always enjoyed your shows, but did not know SG-1 until my mom from Germany came to visit and told me about it. Ever since I rarely miss an episode and try to tape as many as I can. Keep up the good work. I hope it will run for a long time

Hi, Richard,
I wish you a very happy birthday. Enjoy your life and the time you spend with your beautiful daughter. I adore you for the preferences you have in your life. Not many actors would take family on first place, even if they have the ability to do so. So share as much time with her, you could spend! There is nothing better in life than to spend your time with the one you love!
I wish you all good luck, lots of cakes,
and a happy and loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnng life!
Best wishes,

Hi Rick!
Happy Birthday to You!!!! I hope you're having a great day. Thank you for wanting a Season 8 of Stargate SG-1. You are really such a great actor, really. Can't you come to Germany once? Here are so many fans who would really like to meet you once and not every student has the money to come to Vancouver and try to meet you there. It would be so nice. Okay, then again happy birthday and say hello to Wylie from me.
Love ya,

Happy Birthday Rick,
You have been a fantastic character actor in shows that I have loved during my viewing life (starting with MacGyver through to my favourite - Stargate). The humour and fun that you portray make the audience enjoy each moment with you.
It was a blast for me to find out that you are an Aussie Shepherd owner - I breed them here in Australia and have named one of my litters after Season One Stargate episodes!
Enjoy your birthday, spend a great day with your family and friends!
Cheers,
Kate

Hi Rick. Another big fan here. I heard that the creators of MacGyver were thinking about doing another series and that you turned down the part they offered you. I understand why but your fans all over the world are crying over that! I was wondering what might be next for you as an actor? Oh yeah. Those of us who know about your singing career would like to hear you sing and play the guitar, too. Any chance of that any time soon? Wishing you and yours a great birthday and many happy returns. Love ya lots. So long. Can you tell I'm reluctant to quit? See ya.

Hi Rick,

Dear Rick,
Just wanted to jot down a quick note to say I hope you have a wonderful birthday, and I hope you are able to spend it with your beautiful little girl.
And if you're ever in the vicinity of New Zealand, you should check it out - I'm sure (considering your interests in the environment and all things outdoors) you'd love the place - of course I'm biased... but hey...
Anyway, have a wonderful day, and thanks for all the wonderful work you do on Stargate SG-1, MacGyver, and your other works. You're an inspiration, and great role model... oh and you're totally gorgeous too!
Smiles,

I'm Ay-ru Yang, your big fan who lives in Taiwan. Do you remember some of Taiwan's fans who sent you and your family some Chinese jades? I'm one of them. And after that, I sent you Yo-yo Ma's CD as your birthday present. You may don't remember me but I still wanna say thank you.
I'm glad to write something to you with your fans on this website, because you helped me so much, and I just had no chance to say thanks to you. MacGyver affected me so much. He let me know, "Never give up," and this is what supported me. The idea and work of the environmental protection, I'll keep doing and trying to affect the people around me to do the same thing too. There are so many influences. He is just like my life's teacher, he keeps leading me to the right way. I believe there are many people around the world who would follow the lead of MacGyver just like me. It's a pity, I don't have MacGyver's episodes collected edition to make his effects keep going forward.
Anyway, I want to say happy birthday to you and wish your whole family happiness.
Your big fan,

I have been a HUGE fan since your "General Hospital" and "MacGyver" days. Never missed a show... even the re-runs. And I have enjoyed you more and more over the years. Wishing you a wonderfully happy birthday, and hoping for more success as the year progresses. And I can honestly say... you are most definitely getting better with age.

Happy 54th Birthday, Richard! As a fan since MacGyver you just keep getting better looking with age. As far as I am concerned you don't look a day over 45. Thank you for all the years of enjoyment through your TV series and your TV movies. Being a father seems to agree with you and you are doing a great job with your daughter Wylie. Many more birthdays for you and please continue to be the great guy that you are.

Hi Ricky Dean!
Thanks so much for your work in protecting our environment, for the great one-liners delivered as Jack O'Neill (cracks me up), for the great messages in MacGyver, and for all of the work you've done that has kept us entertained.
I also want to thank you for going gray! I allowed my natural gray hair to show two years ago and I'm loving it. It's freeing!
You are truly an excellent actor. Best wishes for a very happy birthday, and great year to follow, and much love & hugs to you and Wylie.

I wanted to do something for you on your Birthday that would make you happy, but I couldn't figure out exactly what.
Nothing I could come up with seemed special enough for a wonderful person like you. A couple of times of times I thought I'd found the answer but then I'd think NO, not good enough for such a terrific man.
I became obsessed. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. My work began to suffer as I fell into a deep depression. I started to become PARANoid. Whenever I'd hear people laugh, I thought they were laughing at my failure to do something nice for one of my favorite people on his Birthday. FiNaLLy I had a complete mental breakdown. I had to be institutioNalized.
I sure hope you're happy now, you've ruined MY liFE.
(Oh, yeah! Have a Happy Birthday!)

Hi, Richard Dean Anderson.
I'm 15 and you are 54. It's a big difference but I don't care. For me you are the greatest and you will always be. Go on like this. You're my favorite actor 'cause the way you act no one can. You act the stars of the sky but who needs stars if you are a shining star. So shining that you can give the whole world your light. Who cares? I don't 'cause you are the best!
Celebrate your birthday and keep on acting like you never did.
I start watching MacGyver the last season or the one before the last and they repeat it in Belgium for 4 or 5 times and every time I watched. Now it's my favorite series. It's for you I watch Stargate SG-1 'cause I hate science-fiction, it sucks big time but thanks to you I learned to appreciate it. So thank you for everything and I hope you never stop acting.
Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a Happy Birthday.
Anjana

A Very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year to a great guy, named Richard Dean Anderson. I really enjoy any show you appear on. I am a Grandmother of 6 grandchildren, and my husband and I have temporary custody of a 4-year old named Alison. So, I know what a joy Wylie is to you. Enjoy your special day with her, and your other friends and family.
I enjoy watching you everyday as MacGyver and Col. Jack O'Neill.
Happy 54th!

Happy Birthday Rick and thanks for MacGyver and Stargate. I really admire your enthusiasm and stamina about your job because I am the same age like you and know what is arthritis and rheumatism (No, it was only joke, I guess you must be in real life as fit as a fiddle, or not?) And anything else - I like your sense of humor (very clever humor). It is rare in this days in show business. Thanks!
Mirek

What can I say that has not been said in countless other messages? I watch you because of your characters and of course the way you present yourself on screen. MacGyver and O'Neill are two different characters, but both with the same heart - it shows through you. And now my daughter, who is almost 3, is beginning to enjoy your work. I wish you all the happiness on your birthday. Keep smiling and of course, love that precious girl of yours to your fullest.

Lots of love,

Dear Richard,
Happy birthday! Thank you for bringing the adorable MacGyver and the even more adorable Jack O'Neill to life; having been around almost as long as you have, I can safely say that even though it would appear to be an impossibility, you have most definitely improved with age!
May your birthday on January 23, 2004 be filled with fun, love, and laughter, and I hope you'll continue to brighten our lives with your presence both onscreen and in real life.
PS Seeing as you're the Executive Producer of Stargate SG-1, would you PLEASE let the writers put us all out of Jack and Sam's misery?

Happy Birthday Rick,
Since I know you read these I wanted to take this chance to thank you for being such a great influence in my life. Whether on TV or in your personal life you have been a realistic role model for people to aspire to while never losing your modesty or focus on family commitment. I have found you to be a great actor, a fine humanitarian and the funniest person I've ever seen. It's because of you I've taken up acting and performing. I look forward to enjoying more of your work. Thanks Rick for making a difference in the world and in my life. Have a great year!
Sincerely,
Mac "Mike" Jackson, 29 yrs

Rick,
Words on your Birthday card cannot express how much of a hero you are to me. I have been watching you since General Hospital and you are the only actor I have followed for a long time. The main reason of course is because I love your acting, you crack me up with your humor and I respect your work with the environment, being a humanitarian and the fact you are a great person.
Happy Birthday......

Dear Richard!

Please stay on screen, you're such a great actor!

I'm sure you hear this a lot, but you are the most wonderful actor in the entire universe and I absolutely love you. OK anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Guess what? My birthday is the same day as yours, but I'll be 14. What are the chances of THAT?

Richard,
I wanted to take this time to let you know how much of an impact you have had on my life. I have watched you since 1985. I have enjoyed watching you on MacGyver, Legend and on Stargate and have seen all your movies at least twice. I was sorry to hear that you are thinking about taking some time off. But we all need the time to spend with the kids. Anyway, hope you have a great 54th birthday and many more after that.
Keep up the good work and hope to see you for years on end. If you are ever in the Jacksonville, Florida area, look me up. I would love to meet you!!

Hi Rick,
I hope you are having a joyous birthday. You are number one in my book. I have been enjoying your work since the MacGyver days, and you still look good now as you did then. You definitely look totally awesome today. I also admire all of the charities that you do.
I hope that you will continue doing Stargate and other related projects in the future, cause a day without watching you on TV (idiot box) is torture. I do know that you have a priority of taking care of your daughter Wylie, which is a good thing, but think about the rest of us who go totaly nuts just seeing you on TV or anywhere they happen to spot you.
Well enjoy the ski season, and hockey season. Have a happy New Year and a great birthday with friends and family.

Rick,
I just wanted to wish you a Very Happy Birthday. You are a great actor and a great person. You are role model for many people because of the humanitarian that you are. You help save animals and help charities. You have a wonderful personality that shines on screen. I began to watch you on MacGyver when it first aired. I thought it was the best show on TV. Me and my sister played pretend like we were MacGyver. It was very fun. Me and my big sister still have a crush on you. You are still handsome as ever. Now I am 20 years old and I relive those wonderful memories thanks to TVLand. And get new memories from your wonderful new show Stargate SG-1. I love your character Colonel Jack O'Neill. He is funny and sweet and kind and has a heart of gold just like MacGyver. I read the articles from the magazines online and talk shows that you appeared on and I find them very good. I love the stories about you and your daughter Wylie because it shows that you are a great father and really love being a dad like my dad. That was very cute on the Wayne Brady show where you had the star with Wylie's picture on it and then Wylie came up to hug you and you just had the sweetest smile on your face that showed your love for her. I hope that you and her had a very happy holidays and have a fun time on your birthday. I looked for the story that you were trying to find that you named Wylie after but I could not find it on the Internet. This is one of my favorite pictures of you and your daughter on the Internet. It's such a sweet picture. Well have a happy birthday and I hope God keeps on blessing you and your family with wonderful things.
Love,

Bonsoir Rick,
C'est en français que j'ai décidé de t'écrire cette fois!
Je te souhaite du fond du coeur un heureux anniversaire et plein de bonnes choses pour ta famille et toi au cours de l'année qui vient!
J'ai la nostalgie de la série "MacGyver" et de son héros au sourire désarmant ainsi que des moyens non violents qu'il utilise pour déjouer les pièges de ses ennemis.
"Stargate", c'est un tout autre univers tellement cruel et... à l'image de ce que notre monde est en train de devenir!!! Je ne m'habitue pas à te voir l'arme à la main meme si c'est pour défendre la "bonne" cause!
Je préférais de loin la créativité et l'ingéniosité de MacGyver pour anéantir les "méchants."
Si "Stargate" préfigure ce que notre monde deviendra dans le futur, alors, moi - aussi je suis heureuse d'etre déjà passée comme toi "over the hill"!!!
Mais je suis institutrice et je m'évertue à donner à mes petits élèves des raisons et des motifs d'espérer créer un monde meilleur où il fera bon vivre....
Merci pour ton engagement envers la planète et surtout pour défendre et protéger les derniers territoires naturels et préservés qui y existent encore!
Bien qu'on ne se connaisse pas et que cela doit te faire étrange de recevoir tous ces messages d'étrangers, je veux te remercier pour tout le bonheur que tu as apporté et que tu continues d'apporter tout autour de toi!
Le monde en a plus que jamais besoin!
Affectueusement et gros bisous à ton petit trésor Wylie.

Dear Rick,
I want to wish you a very happy Birthday. May all your wishes come true and may you have a wonderful day with your loved ones and of course your beautiful daughter Wylie. I know that one day she will be as smart and handsome as her daddy. Enjoy every single moment of her young life, because the day will come soon enough that she will leave her daddy for another man. Life goes too fast.
Thank you Rick, for all you ever did for us, your fans. You made us smile, even things weren't always that good.
You made us happy and taught us a lot about life, both as MacGyver and even as Jack O'Neill, you had your point of view. Although we're missing you in Stargate, since you cut back on your appearances, we can understand your reason. When you retire from the screen we will certainly miss you a lot, but you never ever will be forgotten. Thank you and keep up the good work you're doing.
Among so many others: I love you Rick
So here's a poem:
Miles Away
Miles away...endless far
Not even aware of my existence
Not knowing that I know
And yet... I love you so
Your beautiful brown eyes
Your gentle smile colors my day
You make me walk on clouds
And yet... that's why I love you so
Keeping my hopes up high
to meet you, once in my life
You sleep with other women though
And yet... I still love you so
I know you'll never be mine
and taste the water through the wine
But in my heart, you know why
My love for you will never die.
Happy Birthday Rick!

Thank you Mr. Anderson for being the inspiration to 2 young boys. My grandson, Scott, who broke his leg playing sports 3 years ago and is still undergoing surgery, braces, therapy, etc... and to my friend's grandson who was so inspired by MacGyver that he was getting a carton of duct tape as a Christmas present. Unfortunately, this young boy, 8 years of age, passed away from the flu right before Christmas. The carton of duct tape was buried with him. Both of these youngsters looked upon you as their role model. My grandson will not let his leg problem get him down knowing what you have gone through with the bones you have broken and come out the way you have. And if the other lad had lived, you would also be the hero who he patterned himself after. What a testimony to you! To have youngsters set their goals to be like the man you are. I know you will never let them down! All the happiness in the world in the coming year and beyond and keep up the great work in Stargate! Youngsters are watching their hero, Richard Dean Anderson (aka MacGyver and Col. Jack O'Neill-2L's)!

Hi Rick!
I want to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you never lose your great sense of humour! I'm a big fan of STARGATE SG-1 and I'm waiting for the 7th season. I hope you will have a nice day and perhaps you can write me an e-mail. That were very great.

Being serious now.... Wow

Happy Birthday Rick. I'm only 10 years behind you and have loved watching you ever since you first played in MacGyver. I look forward each week to seeing you on another adventure. By the way, 54 ain't that old. Keep in mind that it ain't the years, it's the mileage. And you're sure looking like a low mileage model to me. Keep up the good work. And God bless you.

I am one of your biggest fans and one for many many long years. Hope your birthday is the best and you continue for many more years to come. You have always been the best looking actor and you will only get better with age. You are the best and the best looking to come along in awhile. Hang in there and hope to see more of you on TV.

Happy Birthday Richard! We (husband and I) have watched you since MacGyver began. In fact I have some on tape from the beginning. We still watch every day, both MacGyver and SG-1. Anyway, Congratulations and BEST WISHES.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN! I can say that because I'm old too!!
I have been a fan of yours since the old days when young Dr. Jeff graced my daytime TV screen and have loved all of your work including the wonderfully creative but short lived "Legend" with John DeLancie.
I LOVE Stargate and everything about it. The ensemble, the humor, the subtle Star Trek references, and it just keeps getting better.
Have a wonderful year and many more. From a forever fan!

I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday!!!
For a long time already, you are my favourite actor. Since I've seen you in MacGyver for the first time, I was filled with admiration and respect for your performance. I love the way you put down the character of Jack O'Neill. I hope that you will continue doing what you're so good at, so that we can keep seeing you on Belgian television. Make of this birthday the best ever. Lots of kisses for you and Wylie. xxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday, Rick!
54 seems like an awfully big number, but looking back must hold a lot of great memories for you - sure has for me!
Now that Wylie is getting older you should start thinking about her college funds...
So go for it, say yes to that big screen romantic comedy you've been dying to do!
Health, wealth, and happiness in 2004!

Hi Rick,
From one Aquarius to another, hope you have a most excellent birthday. Mine is the 22nd, pretty close. Guess that's why I feel kinda close to you, only wish we had more time to talk when I came by the studio. Anyway, I'll be celebrating 36 for at least 4 days, but don't know if I'll be aging much after that. Hope you get everything you want and more. Peace, Love, Happiness and continued success!!!

Many happy returns on your birthday - you've seen many changes in the world - good & bad - but you have given all your fans good family fun & entertainment throughout the years! Even the extreme suspect movies to the sitcoms and shows you guest starred in...... a good variety for all... it's hard to pick a "Best of RDA" movie, film, show! Family is important and little ones grow up so fast these days, so many more wonderful birthdays are wished for you and your family!!!!

Happy 54th Birthday Rick!
I hope you have a nice day with everyone you love and that you may continue to do what you do best: Live life to the fullest and have fun!
On a more serious note: I've noticed (through interviews) that you are turning into your father, the teacher, which I hope you will see as a compliment (that's what it's meant to be). I know this year you lost him but isn't it good to know that a part of him still lives on in you? The things you do at Wylie's school remind me of MacGyver too. It's a thing he would have done for sure! Teaching the kids something (foreign words) before they get a reward (food). I like it.
I admire and respect your dedication to your daughter, and I'm thankful you are still willing to postpone your 'retirement' for us, as much as for yourself. It keeps you young!
Here's to another year full of FUN!
Love,
Tessa (Mac)

Hey!! Happy birthday!! I hope you spend a great day with your family and friends. It was very nice hearing you speaking a bit in Spanish (in "Evolution II"). You did it very well and furthermore I have read you'd like to learn Spanish so I wish you good luck and patience (as I need it too for English). Excuse my grammar errors (I have a little problem with prepositions).

With all my heart I'd like to wish you a Happy Birthday.
May you enjoy your day with family and with your precious daughter Wylie.
You have made me laugh and cry and all for good reasons. Thank you for doing another season of 'Stargate SG-1'. I understand your priority is Wylie and time with her is precious. You are a wonderful dad and Wylie will grow up always knowing this. You both look very happy together.
I wish you health and happiness in all that you do, but please don't lose touch with us.
Have a wonderful day, and don't eat all the cake!!!
Always I give my love to you and Wylie, and please give her a big hug from me. She's a wee smasher!! (Scottish slang for beautiful)

Wishing you another wonderful year for the many you've given all of us fans. I've enjoyed your work since General Hospital, cried when MacGyver was no longer in production, and rejoiced when Stargate was made!
We enjoy your humor and your talent. I hope you have achieved a peace and happiness in your own life. Best to you and your family, especially Wylie!
Happy Birthday and many more!

Dear Mr. Anderson,
I wish you a very happy birthday! And also I want to take this opportunity to tell you that you are an incredible actor. You did a great job with the character MacGyver. Usually I don't like science fiction films but when I saw your name appear in "Stargate" I gave it a shot... and was positively surprised. Have seen you in other films as well but I have to say that the biggest impression was the character you had in "Through the Eyes of a Killer" that was marvelously played. Also the film where you played a father that had lost his son and the meeting with a young boy that changed the father's life in a positive way... Well, what I'm trying to tell you here is that you manage to perform the character you play excellent, no matter if it's as a Colonel, a pilot, a killer, a family father, a cop, a lieutenant, or as a major, you are one of the few actors that is not categorized in a certain line... I also wish you and your family a very great future, filled with much happiness and laughter.
Take care and God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Veronica Eriksson

Dearest Sir Richard,
First of all, allow me to greet you HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. How I wish I could see you and greet you in person. Ever since I saw MacGyver on T.V. I became your number 1 fan here in the Philippines. I even looked for your poster and hang it on the wall of my room. I am very much inspired by the role you play on the said T.V. series. How I wish I could have a full copy of all the episodes.
Well so much for my wishes. I just hope you'll be very happy on your birthday together with your family and some close friends. Hope you'll visit the Philippines someday. One more wish, I hope you'll do a movie that will also be aired here in the Philippines so I could watch. Long life and always be happy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MacGyver. Regards to "Pete", your best friend. God Speed....

Hiya Rick, 
Wishing ya a happy birthday from both me and my character, Colonel Angel Dean, who is jumping around excited as her favourite actor is turning 54.
She of course is making the base unsafe for her husband James (Jack) O'Neill (the clone who was brought back by Harlan making Angel the happiest Colonel in the world, (well Taurak seeing she isn't human) talking about Richard Dean Anderson all day.
Poor James, he feels neglected. 
But I on the other hand am making my house unsafe about both you and me. I'm turning 19 the 28 of January and my best friend is coming over. Ya know Zarina we both mailed you last year about how we met. 
Anyways wanted to give ya the best wishes for 
And of course send ya happy birthday greetings.
Have the greatest birthday ever, oeehhh oeh and save me some birthday cake.
"23 januarie, 2000 houres"
Angel roomed the base uneasy.
Hun what's wrong? Something with SG-2.
Nothing James, really, just thinking about Rick. Again?
Well it is his birthday, I wish I could do something for him, I mean he is playing in a series about our life.
I know I know, why don't ya get him here?
Huh this base is classified.
So did that ever stop you before?
Nooo...
Ohh fer cryin' out loud just go get him.
Angel hurried out the base driving over to Rick's home, seeing him there happily with his family discussing whether they would go skiing this year or not.
Knocking on the door Angel got kinda nervous but as Rick opened the door all worries flew out of her mind.
Mister Anderson, she said in her best Colonel voice, I am Colonel Angel Dean and I wish to discuss some business with you, but not here, this is all classified. It has to do with your show.
Sorry, he asked confused?
Just come with me sir.
April I'll be gone for a few hours.
What Rick!!
Sorry something about StarGate.
Leaving April muttering to her self he stepped in Angel's car and they drove to the real Cheyenne Mountain.
What is this place?
You will see sir, she smiled as she gave him a pass and then guided him to the entrance.
Well Mister Anderson the lieutenant greeted him as he gave back Angel's pass, Colonel he saluted her.
Lieutenant.
You know the General is not going to like this.
Don't worry I know she laughed.
Come on Rick she said eased let's show you around.
His eyes widened as she called him by his first name but he let her show him every corner of this somewhat familiar base.
So uhmm where are we going?
The gate room...
Gate... room...
Yup, James!!
James turned around, what!!!! I was just preparing my fishing line, now its a mess... owww hi he said confused as he looked in the face of both Angel and Rick.
I... he... he looks like me.
Hey you're right Angel giggled hadn't noticed that before. This is my husband James O'Neill. With two LL's there is a James O'Neil with one L but he has no sense of humor at all.
Okay... was all that Rick could stammer and to make things more easy for him Jack walked by.
Angel, watcha doin'?
Showing Rick the base.
Rick, Mister Anderson how ya doin'.
What... he... I... Aw Man who is he.
Jack O'Neill with two LL's...
Let me guess there is one with one L but he has no sense of humor at all.
Good one Daniel laughed as the young scientist walked through the halls with Major Samantha Carter.
So Colonel Dean where are you going? she asked.
To the gate.
As the entered the hall Rick about fainted, what the...
This is the StarGate, the real one Angel explained as Rick looked with great disbelief at the gate powering up and whooshing open.
All you act is real and so is the SGC.
Both Teal'c and Angel's team walked through the gate and greeted their Commanding officer.
Except for Teal'c that's my team, SG-2. Doctor Jarod Sun, Major Nerys Page and Lieutenant Logan Wolf.
Nerys and myself where not human we might look like you, but we're not she said seriously.
This is a joke right?
Colonel!!! boldered through the gate room.
Uhm yes general.
Report to my office ASAP!!
Yes, Sir.
Entering his office she saw he was truly mad, brace your self whispering to Rick.
Who is this man and what is he doing on this base unauthorized.
After explaining and getting yelled at Angel was allowed to show him the rest of the base if Rick promised to keep it quiet and only to use it in his show.
Yes General he prommised still not believing this was realy true.
Colonel you ship out in an hour to Taurak...
Yes sir Angel smiled, she had been waiting to go back home for a while and see how her sis was doing, it had only been a month since the Goa'uld had been removed but she seemed to be doing better that she was supposed to.
Uhm General, can I tag along, Rick asked uncertain of the answer.
What do you think Colonel?
Why not I'll keep an eye out, sir.
Alright then get him a uniform.
After taking one of James's uniforms (that fit perfectly) Angel and Rick walked up to the Gate.
Chevron 6 encoded...
Well this is it Rick she smilled...
So why did you show me all this? Rick asked.
Chevron 7 encoded...
Be course I'm a real fan of the show and you and well let's just say I'm not a big fan of rules and reports so I thought I'd do something bold for your birtday and show you the real StarGate and my life, as I know so many of yours.
Chevron 8 locked.
Rick smiled as he grabbed Angel's hand, lead the way Colonel.
Entering the horizon Angel shouted some orders to her team.
They entered a bright and sunny world and some childeren ran towards them.
Ta nor in non alan ta they yelled as Angel greeted them.
Guess we're not in Kansas any more Toto...
Ya got that right Rick, Angel kissed him on the cheek, Happy birthday.
"Colonel Angel Dean"
Well there ya got it that's my birthday wish for you this year Rick, hope ya like it. Best of luck for this year and keep doing what you do. Always stay yourself because that's what we love the most, not just your shows. But you and all what you stand for, your family, your goals, nature, life, your friends and fans. Go do something you love and whether you stop acting or not I will always be there looking back at what you did together with all of the other fans all over the world. Have a Great day, and I mean a GREAT DAY!!!

Happy happy birthday from a fellow Aquarian in sunny San Diego (which I hear is one of your favorite cities).

Dear Richard,
I wish you a happy birthday and may your all wishes be fulfilled.
With many thanks for acting the dear character of Col. O'Neill (a true action hero).
Click image to view a sequence.
P.S.
I read recently in an e-mail posted in the SG-1 yahoo group that you intend to retire from acting and build your house in California. May I be so bold to suggest that, in case you retire from entertainement business, to build your house in Florida. A while ago, in Los Angeles they have been torched, slimmed and shaken in a span of two years; in Florida you have access to an ocean - the Atlantic (which always has a cold water) and a sea - the Caribbean - (which most time of the year has a warm water). Just a suggestion.

Dear Rick,
Happy birthday and many, many more.
I've always enjoyed your work (except GH... never into soaps) 
There is no Stargate SG-1 without Jack O'Neill!
(The other people are just set decoration)
I hate the reduced schedule but completely understand and approve of the reasoning behind it. Thank you for giving us O'Neill even if in reduced roles for seasons 7 and 8.
I would LOVE to see a Legend movie if you're so inclined. 
The silver becomes you; don't hide it!

Happy 54th Birthday, Richard! I hope it's a good one! I'll turn 47 the 22nd! Here is a poem I wrote several years ago.
RDA
Deep dark eyes, slender face, heart-shaped lips, and tender hands.
College days of heated anger, and travels across the land.
Tall and slim, his body tan, his voice is music to my ears.
Street corner mime and acting that shines, I speak of his long ago years.
Who is this man with wheat-gold hair who comes in dreams at night?
His voice it soothes and eases my pain; his presence makes things right.
Is he real or just fantasy, to touch him be in vain?
To wake to shadows in the air, the tears I do restrain.
If by chance he should be real, with him my thoughts I share.
Of feelings that churn within my heart, of knowing how I care!
I wrote this for you July, 1992... Just wish the book I had planned to send to you had made it... Sorry it didn't! Best wishes throughout the rest of your life...
Always, Karen Sue Reed (a friend and fan)

Happy birthday Rick! I hope you have a fantastic birthday! I am one of your biggest fans. You are a brilliant and gifted actor who should be in the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. You deserve it so much. You are belivable in every character you're in especially in the movie Thru the Eyes of a Killer. I have that on tape but can't watch it because it scares the heck out of me. I wrote you a letter I hope you got it okay. Stay safe and God bless you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK! Hugs to you.

Hi Richard,
Hope you have a fabulous birthday! Thanks for all your hard work this year on Stargate SG-1. I've enjoyed watching you a lot and appreciate the fact that you've stuck with the show. Hope you get to spend your birthday doing something you love and with those you love like Wylie. Happy Birthday and many more!

Dear Richard,
Happy Birthday!
Wish to thank you for the heart and soul that you give in each thing you work on. It is shown in each episode of Stargate SG-1 and MacGyver, plus the other shows and movies you were acting in or associated with. You give each episode of Stargate SG-1 your funny sense of humor.
Happy Birthday and I wish to give you some internet birthday kisses. Hope you'll be doing what you would love to be doing on your birthday.

Dear Rick,
Another year is over and I'm writing you a message again... it's the 3rd time, that I send you such a "birthday-letter".
ALLES GUTE ZUM 54. GEBURTSTAG!!!
I wish you a happy 54th birthday!!!!!
I hope you will celebrate a lot and spend a very nice day with your family!
Let me tell you that I admire you and your work. For me you are the best actor alive!
As I have already told you in a former letter, I still love MacGyver and also really enjoy Stargate SG-1. Jack is great! This kind of humor is super! Thanks for playing that role! I'm so happy that you played Jack for 7 years - will you give him a chance to be funny in Season 8 too? I'd love it!
Of course I know and understand that you want to spend more time with your family - but it would be super if you were still acting in the future. Because that's the only possibility for me to "see" you.... so please don't totally retire!
By the way: Will you play MacGyver again for a TV-movie or something? Maybe in this "Young MacGyver series" I have read about? You could have guest appearances there. In my opinion this would be very successful!
I wish you a lot of luck, health and joy!!!
Best wishes from Austria!
Alles Liebe!

Hi Rick,
I'd just like to say I'm a big fan of all your work I've seen to date MacGyver included but since I was a little too young to see it here in UK first time round (14 yrs ago I think) I've just discovered it in the last year and I think it's great. But without doubt I have to say the work all the crew on Stargate do a totally fab job but you get me the most so:
Thanks for Mac.
Thanks for all 8 seasons playing Jack O'Neill.
Thanks for making my Gran (she likes Mac loads).
Stay Happy and Safe Always.
Oh yeah one last thing,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

All I can say is THANK YOU for making the show such a success and I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HUMOR you put into O'NEILL all the characters!!!!!!!! Who doesn't LOVE to laugh! Anyways, did I say that it is SO COOL TO HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY as YOU!?!?! LOL! OH, OK, I'll quit now!

Hi Rick,
I just want to wish you a very very happy birthday. Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!
It's the second time I post here and I'm happy to be able to congratulate you again in the name of all the Mexican fans you have thanks to MacGyver, Stargate it's not that famous for many reasons (ie, it's cut off 2 years ago from cable tv). Anyway don't forget about us the Mexican fans. We love and Admire You. TE QUEREMOS Y ADMIRAMOS.
And just a little bit of our traditional song for birthday parties (las mañanitas):
**** Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey david a los muchachos bonitos se las cantamos asi, despierta mi bien despierta mira que ya a amanecio ya los pajarillos cantan la luna ya se metio... ***
*** This are the mañanitas that sang the King David, for the pretty boys we sing it like this. Wake up darling wake up look it's already started the day, the birdies sing and the moon is gone... ***
Congratulations!!!!!

Dear Richard,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a wonderful day doing what makes you happiest. I'd be willing to bet your little angel fits somewhere in that equation. Have a GREAT day.
Oh by the way, I'm a big fan of SG-1. I look forward to each episode. Every member of the team is so likeable, (especially Jack). His sense of humor adds so much to the show. Until I started watching SG-1, I was not much of a scifi fan. SG-1 has somewhat changed my view about some scifi.
Anyway, hope you have a happy and healthy birthday. However, don't do anything too dangerous, we can't have Jack laid up and unable to tape new and exciting episodes of SG-1!
PS: If you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods, I'd be more than happy to give you and yours a grand tour of our beautiful, historic city.
Best wishes,

Hello Richard:
Happy 54th Birthday! I have been your fan since MacGyver and I really admire you for being so clever as MacGyver, funny as Legend and for living an amazing and crazy life as Jack, but most of all I admire Richard a great human being who cares about others and the world where we are living. Thank you for sharing your life with us, for making me laugh, cry and for all the happiness you've brought me over all these years.
God bless you and your family and give you a lot of health, love, happiness and peace through all your life. You are a great actor and I hope to see more from you in the future.
Enjoy your day with your family and friends, and always remember there's a lot of people who care about you all over the world, at least there is someone in Mexico who prays for you every day.

When they say age is just a number, they had you in mind because you just get better with the years!!
When Jeff Webber left General Hospital in galloped Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. When Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was cancelled, MacGyver taught us how to use ordinary household items to save the world, and NOW Jack O'Neill and Stargate have wormholed into our hearts.
Thanks for all you do to make these characters Interesting and Entertaining!! And a big THANK YOU for an 8th season!

I wish you happy birthday and a lot of nice days filled health, happiness and love in life of yours and your daughter.
Don't forget to smile.
Thanks a lot that you are... you live... you exist... and you make laugh for many people all over the world.

Happy B'day Richard (and hi to your little one),
I could not believe that I saw a MacGyver today that I'd not seen before. I love each and every one of them. My husband and I enjoy watching both the old Stargates (Monday nights on SciFi) and Of Course the New Stargate's on Fridays. He sets the PVR to record all. It's something we enjoy doing together. Thanks for a clean show that is worth watching. And MacGyver so the kids can watch with us. They always pull for you.

Happy 54th Birthday Richard!
I just wanted to say that I appreciate, admire and respect your work and your talents. I catch rerun episodes of MacGyver whenever I can, and of course, I watch Stargate SG-1 religiously. Thank you for all of your hard work, it means something to me and to all of your fans.
I wish you the very best on your b-day and take care of yourself.

And if you really want to come to Germany - the godfather of my children is from Minnesota (he comes often here) so I have some experience in guiding.
Dear Rick, tonight I dreamed of you. So I had the idea of looking for your Web site. I hope you will read this.

Hey Richard, from a very cold Canadian,
54 years old... don't worry. My mother isn't much of a spring chicken either. ha ha.... and everyone is right. You do get better looking with age. I still have a big crush on you, ever since I saw Stargate. I think you are a wonderful actor, father, and all around person. I just want to tell you, if I never get to tell you in person, that you are my role model. You have been since I started high school, and have motivated me to further my goal of an acting career. I will try to get into a Canadian Arts College after high school. Your character in Stargate was so amazing, and funny. My brother and I haven't stopped laughing yet.
My friends and I were just talking about how you should be a guest on Simpsons. Patty and Selma would go crazy if "MacGyver" showed up to Springfield. It is just an idea we had, and I was passing along the thought. I hope Wylie and Apryl are doing OK. If you ever get around to it, I have been writing a short story. It is sort of like "Starman", but... my version. It has you... well... it is SORT of you... in it. You but as an... alien... I know you would really like it. I haven't exactly finished it yet. I will though. It is my birthday present to you.
Well, like every teenager does, I have trailed off into nothingness. This is only if I never get to meet you. So, back to the more important task at had, your birthday, I hope you have a wonderful birthday, a great new year, and great future years. You are a wonderful, inspirational person. You still have many many years left on you, so keep it up! Blessings to you and your family.
Love,
Liisa

Dear Rick, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Just think, you're not just another year older, you're also another year wiser. I've been a BIG fan of yours ever since MacGyver first aired. My son Devin really likes MacGyver. When a situation comes up and I don't know what to do, he always says "Mom, what would MacGyver do?" I have not ever seen Stargate because I don't receive that certain channel, but from what I have read from your fans' letters and greetings, it makes me really wish I did receive that channel. Have a HAPPY and WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY Rick, and give your beautiful daughter a hug and kiss from me. Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday Richard!
You may see my name three times on this list, but hey, they say the third time is the charm!
I just wanted to give you an idea about how to end your career on SG-1 in its final season... if you're willing to hear it. Remember the episode "One Hundred Days?" When you left the last scene showed the woman you had been with touching her belly... she was pregnant! In the final episode, you are contacted by the people of that planet to let you know that she and her son died and the child survived. You decide that you will retire permanently to care for the child. I've thought it into deeper details and of course, I have ideas for the others as well, but I thought I would try to get your attention first. What do you think... worth considering? Bra'tac dies and Teal'c returns home, Daniel and Dr. Fraiser hook up, Carter gets promoted to the next rank and takes over your position when you leave, and General Hammond gets offered the position of military advisor to the President! Everyone lives happily ever after... Good luck!
