George Eads tells why he chose MacGyver after CSI – News.com.au – NEWS.com.au

George Eads stars in MacGyver after years in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

GEORGE Eads has fallen on his feet. The former CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star found a new television role shortly after quitting the long-running crime drama in 2014.

The 50-year-old Texan, who played Nick Stokes, was the only original cast member left on the show after the departures of William Petersen, Gary Dourdan, Marg Helgenberger and Paul Guilfoyle.

Many stars fade into obscurity after leaving a hit show but Eads has bounced back as Jack Dalton in the reboot of MacGyver.

Dalton, a former Delta Force soldier, is the brawn behind intelligence operative Angus Mac MacGyver (Lucas Till) who uses his brains, paperclips and a Swiss Army knife to outwit baddies.

And the way Eads tells it he is having a blast.

They called me and the name alone had me running as fast as I could to get over there (to sign on), Eads says.

I was familiar with the original program (with Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver) and always thought it was an idea that would stand the test of time.

You hear of a lot of reboots that dont blow your skirt up but when I heard of this one I knew it wasnt going to be boring.

I saw all the action and I saw that I was going to play an ex-military kind of junkyard dog, which was such a departure (from Stokes on CSI) so I was in.

After an abortive pilot episode, Peter Lenkov, one of the people behind the successful Hawaii Five-O reboot with Aussie Alex OLoughlin, was brought in to get things back on track.

Aussie producer director James Wan (Furious 7, The Conjuring) is also part of the team overseeing Eads show.

A bromance quickly developed between Eads and Till despite the age difference. Till has just turned 27.

I never saw the original MacGyver running like this guy (Till) runs, Eads says. Hes like a deer it is amazing.

Theres a lot of action on this show and I think his (Tills) stuntman is the highest paid stuntman that doesnt do much because he (Till) wont let him.

When you have a star thats enthusiastic about all the action, it really helps. He doesnt want to stand there. He wants to do it. It inspires me.

MacGyver, Monday, 7.30pm, One.

Teaching the basics of crime scene investigation | Local … – Kearney Hub

KEARNEY Deciphering blood patterns left at a crime scene. Using alternative light sources to find the most minuscule stain. Using insects to help determine a time of death.

Those are some of the basic law enforcement techniques adjunct professor Kyle Harshbarger teaches in his advanced criminal justice classes at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

I hope students go back on what I taught them and have some basic background, he said.

For over 10 years, Harshbarger has taught 390-level criminal investigations and 490-level advanced criminal and crime scene investigations/forensics, and manages UNKs criminal justice crime lab. The late James Gilbert, UNKs longest-serving criminal justice professor, started the lab years ago and was one of Harshbargers instructors.

The initial goal of the classes was to teach basic criminal investigations, the various types of crime and evidence associated with them. Over the years, the courses have evolved to a more hands-on approach in which students practice techniques they will use in the field.

I know there is a lot of them who will be deputies or officers in medium or small departments, and they dont have the access to a crime lab or to go to advanced training, Harshbarger said. So I thought, Lets give it to them while theyre in college.

Blood spatter is Harshbargers favorite topic to teach.

Once you learn how to read the spatter that comes from the blood, you can go into a crime scene and have a good idea of what happened and where it happened at, he said. Thats something I love learning, and teaching, about.

A close second is entomology and kinesics, which is reading body language, and using alternative light sources.

Harshbarger relates the material in his classes so its not only applicable to future police officers, but also to students going into social work, working in the courts or becoming a lawyer.

Harshbargers extensive training as a Kearney Police Department officer has greatly benefit UNK. A graduate of Kearney High School, Harshbarger has a bachelor of science degree in

criminal justice from UNK and a masters degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in public administration.

He has been with KPD since 1994 and has served as a sergeant for 15 years.

For the last five years, he has supervised the investigations unit, and hes also the head of KPDs Emergency Services Unit (SWAT) team.

When street officers transfer into KPDs investigations unit and they dont have any background in basic investigations, Harshbarger takes them to UNKs lab for a quick three-day lesson on techniques in fingerprinting, blood spatter and entomology.

Julie Campbell, UNKs criminal justice chair, couldnt be happier with what Harshbarger brings to UNK.

Kyle does an outstanding job for our program, and his courses are among our most popular. He has also worked diligently to introduce new equipment and techniques into the lab, she said.

Although he has been asked to strictly teach at UNK, he wants to keep doing both jobs.

I get to bring that real-world experience into the classroom. It bothers me to think that I wouldnt be a police officer and a teacher, that I would be one or the other, Harshbarger said. I think I would lose something with my teaching if that happened.

Eventually, Harshbarger would like to see the criminal justice department have a training area or building where he could set up crime scenes for students to investigate. Currently, practicals are taught at Warner Hall.

Every once in awhile, Ill set up a crime scene using a dummy, and Ill put blood on the dummy, and theres been a few times a teacher has been unaware I was teaching and came upon that and it startled them.

Ive had to make a few apologies here and there, he added.

On Wednesday, Aug. 16, at approximately 1:51 a.m., the SCSO Dispatch Center received a report from a woman reporting that an unknown assailant had stabbed her son in the chest.

The assault allegedly occurred at a residence on California Street in the city of Dorris, located in the eastern part of the county.

The victim was treated by emergency medical responders from the local fire department and later transported via ambulance to a Klamath Falls medical facility. According to witnesses, it is believed one or more suspects may have fled the area in a white or silver-colored Pontiac-type four-door sedan.

Suspects in the case were identified as possible Native American adults, one male and one female. One was allegedly wearing a hat with feathers.

Sheriff Jon Lopey stated, This case is still under investigation and anyone with any information about the incident is urged to contact the Departments 24-hour dispatch center at 841-2900.
