Fantasy Casting, Ep. 3.....McGyver

So, it's news today they are finally rebooting McGyver into a blockbuster movie. It's about time, after they have rebooted mediocre franchises, it's about time they use a great idea and a wonderful, if not slightly cheesy show like McGyver. The interesting part is, there doesn't seem to be any plans to bring Richard Dean Anderson back in the titular role. Do you think that's a good idea, or do you think they should stick with a 60 year old McGyver? I kinda like the idea, although it would be great if Anderson made a cameo, or something along those lines, or what could be really interesting is the son of McGyver assumes the role of the inventive spy, where Anderson's McGyver is now behind a desk in the role Pete, from the original series. There could be comedy, and drama in that idea....don't worry, I'll contact writers about this immediately.
So, who would you choose for Angus McGyver, huh? I mean, I think Jeffrey Donovan can do no wrong, and given Burn Notice not coming on, would be a great call, but now, he already is a modern McGyver in Burn Notice, so my choice would maybe NPH, or even Matt Damon. I couldn't really think of anyone else, but either of those could do a good job, it just depends on the direction, if you want to ensure an action comedy, my choice would be NPH, if you want to focus on the drama a bit more, it's Matt Damon. What do you think?
