Dear Richard,

I have been a fan for years and have seen your growth as an actor. I will always value my taped MacGyver segments as it helps me to remember one of your best efforts. Best wishes for a very Happy Birthday and many more.

Happy Birthday, I just want you to know that I'm so very happy that you have agreed to sign on to yet another year of Stargate SG-1. I'm sure you get tired from all the long hours and the physical demands of the show but your fans never get tired of watching you save the world from those nasty Goa'uld's! I'm sure that as you look back through this year you have thoughts of your Dad, some happy moments and some sad. We as fans have cried with you and laughed with you through the years and you have gotten me through some difficult moments in my life just by being able to watch you on MacGyver and Stargate SG-1. Thank You! I hope you have a wonderful birthday surrounded by the ones that are close to you. Keep Wylie close to you and cherish those moments that you have with her, they grow up so fast!

I love ya,

Tracy

Dear Richard,

Wishing you a very Blessed Birthday and many more to come!

I grew up watching MacGyver and certainly learned a thing or two about life in general. THANK YOU very much for the wonderful years...

Happy Birthday Rick,

I have enjoyed your work on television for a long time... While I am a fan I prefer to avoid "gushing" with emotion, so I'll keep this fairly simple.

Congrats on your 54th! And best wishes for the next 54. Always remember that "Today is the first day of the rest of your life!" Happy Birthday!

Also - I'd like to offer an invitation. We share a common interest - skiing. I work seasonal fulltime at a humble Pacific Northwest Ski Area that offers some of the best BackCountry territory around. (I'm not the most aggressive skier on the hill - but I know enough of the extreme skiers and boarders on our hill to know that all the hype about our BackCountry is true.)

Anyway - if you happen to be in the Seattle area you might take a little trip about 50 miles east on I-90 and drop by the Summit at Snoqualmie, home of the infamous Alpental. While I'm sure that purchasing a lift ticket or two is no trouble, I would be happy to treat you and a guest (perhaps Wylie and/or her Mom Apryl) to a day of skiing on me. (Heck, if you actually come I might even brave the BackCountry.)

It would be a thrill for all of us on Snoqualmie Pass to meet you and spend the day skiing! We know we're not glamorous like Whistler but we have something to offer for everyone. Stop by sometime and just tell them I sent you - they'll find me.

Again, Happy Birthday!

Thanks for everything you contribute to life!

A very happy Birthday to you, and many more of them. I have followed your shows, both MacGyver and Stargate, since their inception. You act naturally, and show emotions like the rest of us. It is a shame that your shows take so long to be screened in New Zealand. May your career be long and happy.

Happy Birthday, Rick!

We wish you all the best - especially health. But we don´t think you even need the wish for good health, because you don´t seem to get older.

Please stay on TV as long as possible and keep up with your wonderful work!

Many hugs from two Austrian girls!

Dear Richard,

I hope you have your best year yet! Thanks for being "real" and for keeping such a humble spirit. Have a great birthday, and I'm sure a special little girl will have great big hugs for her Daddy - which is the best gift that could ever be given! God Bless you both.

Dear Rick,

I just wanted to write a short note to wish you well. Wylie is lucky to have such a caring, involved father, and as a parent of young children I can understand your devotion to her. A lot of people could take a page from your book.

Speaking as a fan I just want you to know that you are missed on Stargate. Your presence brings a certain energy to the series, and when you are absent it's obvious in so many ways. Whether it be a humorous or dramatic turn for Colonel O'Neill you are always spot on. Personally I look forward to any screen time real life allows.

Never forget how much of a difference you've made in so many people's lives over the years. Mine included.

My sincerest wishes for a healthy, happy, and peaceful 2004.

Michelle

I have been a fan since your General Hospital days and I just wanted to wish you a wonderful and heartfelt birthday wish. You are a wonderful person and father. Wylie is very lucky to have you as a father. You care about life and the things around you.

Have a wonderful day and many, many more to come.

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.

I would like to wish you a happy birthday and I hope you get the walking stick, slippers and the newspaper that you probably want!! LOL!!!....Rick?....It's a joke!!!!

Being serious now.... Wow - 54 years old!!! I've got to say you are a very, very sexy man (I'm only 17 - I shouldn't be thinking this!!) and I bet every woman would agree to that!! One other thing Rick - whatever you do, KEEP the silver hair it makes you look irresistible!!

So happy birthday, Rick, and I hope you have a long and healthy life - I sound like if I'm saying goodbye!! Give my love to Wylie for me!

Keep on Stargating!

Hi Rick,

I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. I hope it's everything you want it to be. My best wishes to you and your family.

Hey, it's the first time I participate to such thing... so I join the chorus voices to wish you the best in your life for you and your family!

And of course, as anyone else I have a special request! I gave a drawing to Amanda Tapping, I hope you got it and enjoyed the new travellers through Stargate... Two twin Homer Simpsons (one in BDUs, one top class in a tuxedo, it reminds me nobody of course...) and coming out of nowhere a Santa Claus with his reindeer that actually made working the Stargate this year cause we got a season 8!!!

And as I always do strange stuff all the time lately, the Stargate has 2 more chevrons in case you feel the need to explore our part of the world and come by my home... You're invited anytime you want to...

Ok now this is a goodbye. Please do us the favour to enjoy your time and yourself, as I try to do more and more lately! Any resemblance is really expected...

Bises - French kisses (on both cheeks... of course!)

Sabine

Dear Rick,

Happy day! Will love you forever, you "twinkle in the eye" guy! Bless you for giving us so much great entertainment over the years - from a "mature" fan since your General Hospital days. You just keep getting better! Isn't wisdom great!? Many continued blessings and laughter always for you!

Pam

So many messages! So little from Belgium. Well here's another one for you Rick from Belgium.

Happy Birthday Rick!

I hope we get to meet each other some day and have good conversation. I'm a fan of you since the day I've met MacGyver on television. I was about 4 or 5, now I'm 17 and I hope to become an actor/writer/director one day. But of course school comes first, right? Sometimes I start on writing scripts but it's not as simple as I thought it would be and leave it unfinished. Well, before I really start blabbering on of what I wanna become I better stop. This is suppose to be a birthday message so I'll say it again...

Happy Birthday Rick!

54 years is a special year. You are not 20 anymore but you are not 80 yet. Keep up your good work.

Happy Birthday again Rick!

Mario

Happy b-day Rick!!! I love Stargate SG-1 (duh who doesn't lol). Hope 2004 is a great year for you and your family.

P.S. My friends think I'm weird b/c I like you and b/c you are 54 but I'm like I don't care he's still HOT!!

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.

Happy 54 years young. Best wishes for a wonderful birthday and a tremendous year. I have enjoyed watching you over the years and look forward to more as each year goes by. Thanks so much for all the great entertainment you have given to us fans.
