ANTONIO BANDERAS!! has a bit part in a ''MacGyver'' ep of 1991 (S6, E17)


ANTONIO BANDERAS!! has a bit part in an ep of 'MacGyver', first broadcast in 1991 (Season 6, Episode 17) !

Bizarrely, A.B. is not cited on the cast list for the episode:

'MacGyver' (1985): episode "Blind Faith" (Season 6, Episode 17)
Original Air Date: 4 March 1991
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638683/combined)

Nor is the role cited on A.B.'s own IMDB webpage (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000104)!

He plays a henchman (baddie!), from a Latin American country.

It's strange that his own website doesn't cite this role, but given that he was at the time still - from his IMDB record - still entrenched in his career in Spanish films etc. (e.g. 2 films directed by Pedro Almodovar, in 1988 & 1989), maybe this was just a brief intro to US TV. He wasn't in his first roles in mainstream USA films (albeit small roles!) till 'The Mambo Kings' in 1992 & 'Philadelphia' a year later in 1993.

Nice little role though, although of course he has only a few words of script at best. And his face & voice are unmistakeable! You can see the whole episode for yourself by searching at YouTube for:
MacGyver S6 [Episode 17] Blind Faith.
