CANTON, OHIO – The following is a sampling of events, happenings and notes that highlight how
the Pro Football Hall of Fame serves its important mission to “Honor the Heroes of the Game,
Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE!”
ANDRE REED MAKES GUEST APPEARANCE ON “MACGYVER” TONIGHT
Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver ANDRE
REED will make a guest appearance on tonight’s
(April 5) episode of “MacGyver” on CBS at 8 p.m.
ET.
Reed will make his cameo as a prosecutor in season
three, episode 18, “Murdoc + Helman + Hit,”
directed by Roderick Davis from a script by
executive producer/original MacGyver creator Lee
David Zlotoff.
“I’ve had a lot of fun doing cameos over the past
couple years. The (original) ‘MacGyver’ is a show I
used to watch, and I am honored to be a part of
season three,” Reed shared with the Hall.
BACKGROUND ON SHOW: Young war hero Angus
‘Mac' MacGyver has an extraordinary knack for
unconventional problem solving and an extensive bank of scientific knowledge that he believes can
best be put to use saving lives, both of which come in handy when he creates a clandestine
organization within the United States government to tackle high-risk missions around the world.
Working under the sponsorship of the Department of External Affairs, MacGyver quietly prevents disasters with the help of former CIA agent Jack Dalton.
