Today's Mac Sighting; Jeff Kober (Rack on Buffy and the 'Helpless' vamp). Still playing a villain (the episode's called 'Pirates' which is fitting, today :-)) but so baby-faced it's not true.
And it's just dawned on me that Jack gets his eyebrow scar trying to save Teal'c from dying :;goes mushy over that::
ETA: Might have to cancel mushy moment: Research:

I have a question that’s been bugging me for a while. How did you get that scar across your eyebrow?
Caron
Richard Dean Anderson:
It’s part of what we established in the character. We have to maintain it because it will grow over, and believe me, it’s a pain in the butt to be walking around with this bareness there. It was one of those elements of movies and television that has always driven me crazy. Like MacGyver, for instance, if we showed him naked at any point, he would be nothing but one big scar, because he was always getting cut or ripped or shot or whatever, beat up, bruised, and yet by the end of the series, he didn’t have a mark on him. It was one of those things. So, I can’t remember the episode, but I got hit in the eye or slugged or something, and we established a big bandage and the whole thing, and I told Jan [Newman, make-up artist], you know, this would leave a mark. Let’s run with this. Let’s keep it in there as part of what defines O’Neill. And so that’s all it is. It’s just a character thing. In fact what I try to do is to suggest that any time O’Neill has to be beat up, that he always holds his left eye. He always takes the first shot, and every monster that he fights is right handed, so he takes the shot to the left eye. [laughing]
[Asked if the scar might have originated from a genuine injury from hockey, for example, he continued:]
Richard Dean Anderson:
No, I’ve got those on the top of my head, and one down here [indicating the bottom of his chin]. I’ve had that since I was a kid. I took the rear end of a skate blade right up through the bottom of my chin, and bled! Wylie and I were trying to count how many scars Daddy had at one point. I think it was 70 or something like that. She started wanting to see them all. She’s got two already. Like I say that with pride! [laughing]
I got stuck on:
Like MacGyver, for instance, if we showed him naked at any point :;flails::
ETA2 Okay, seems the scar pre-dates S3's Demons - but from this cap (thanks for the pointer![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

it's definitely reopened and bleeding.
Okay, back to tidying after returning from the shops with an awful lot of food that still doesn't seem to be enough to make into nibbles. My mind went a total blank in there. It's scary how supermarkets do that to you. I had to backtrack for celery and picked up half a dozen things on the way that I'd have walked out without.
