At least it's really entertaining when I embarrass myself.

Actually there were [ in MacGyver] a lot of things about the original that focused on the character, but not too many people seem to remember that.

I don't want to be a part of something I don't want to watch.

Truthfully, in the beginning [of MacGyver] this could have gone either way, and as it turned out there was a version that was done wrong, which I'm not even going to get into. It was a pretty good idea and I liked where it was going, but then we got a chance to restart with Peter Lenkov [as executive producer/showrunner], who brought his vision to it. I remember reading his pilot script and it was just so exciting that I started hopping around my room.

The producer and writers [ of X-Men: Apocalypse ] were kind of feeling me out with, "Are you okay with the fact that you die?" and I was, like, "Yes." That's something that people would talk about, so I thought it was cool that I died. Havok was in three movies and then I get to be remembered.

My mom's a chemist, so she's pretty smart. I love technology and I can handle myself around a computer.

I have a lot of respect for people with a lot of talent.
