->''"I always hoped that they would bring Hollister back, and I always thought, 'If there's any series where you can actually do that, it's ''Series/RedDwarf''.' Because you could come back as a coffee table or whatever, but everything is possible in ''Red Dwarf''."''
Mac [=McDonald=], born Terence [=McDonald=], (18 July 1949), is an American actor living in the UK best known for playing Captain Hollister in ''Series/RedDwarf''.
Once he left school, he began a stage career in comedy and music. He decided to travel through Europe in 1974, and in Amsterdam accepted an invitation to live in a commune in North London, where he began to busk as the Human Jukebox.
In 1982, he formed a musical comedy troupe with two others known as "The Cheap Shots", which lead to "The Chip Shop Show" which spoofed musicals on London's alternative comedy circuit. After this came TV work, with [=McDonald=] mostly being {{Typecast}} as American characters.
In 1988, he took the role of Captain Hollister on ''Red Dwarf'', making recurring appearances in the first two series, being brought back as an AscendedExtra in Series VIII, and appearing in a guest role in Series XII's "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonXIISkipper Skipper]]".
