Bruce Travis McGill (born July 11, 1950) is an American actor. Of his extensive film and television credits, he is perhaps best known for his role as Jack Dalton on the television series MacGyver and as D-Day in National Lampoon's Animal House.
These are actors who were considered for roles in Star Trek before the actors we know were cast. This is not counting recasts where an new actor takes over an established role such as Robin Curtis taking over the role of Saavik from Kirstie Alley. However, the reboots are counted separately as they are far enough removed from the originals.
