* MilitaryMaverick: He played Jack O'Neill as a DeadpanSnarker who toes the line but is more than happy to break rules and regulations if he feels justified. This was in contrast to Creator/KurtRussell's portrayal, which was much more serious.

* GadgeteerGenius: [=MacGyver=] found creative alternative uses for the limited resources he had access to on his TV series and codified jerry-rigged solutions for a couple of generations of TV viewers. So much so that "[=MacGyver-ing=]" is still a fairly common term for improvised repairs decades after the original series ended.

* DoesNotLikeGuns: [=MacGyver=] never used guns as weapons, preferring to use his wits and improvised tools, instead. If he did use a gun, it was only to utilize the gunpowder in its bullets and the weapon itself as a hammer. This reflected Anderson's own distaste for firearms[[note]]He made an exception for Jack O'Neill, as he found the character interesting and had to concede that a military man would have to wield guns[[/note]].

Anderson entered into semi-retirement after leaving ''SG-1'' as a regular, choosing to make sporadic appearances on that series and make the occasional guest appearance on other shows to be able to spend more time with his daughter. He quietly retired from acting around 2013, which is why the fandom rejoiced when he agreed to reprise the role of Jack O'Neill for a table read of new ''SG-1'' scripts.
