So the new MacGyver has several episodes featuring actions scenes with a lot of non-speaking-role bad guys... in helmets. Is this a budget thing? Like do people without lines/faces fall outside Hollywood union rules or something?

Yup exactly. I once tried selling my wife on the greatness of Macgyver, starting with the pilot...we didn’t make it to the first episode.

It’s definitely in the “so bad it’s good” category. I never watched the original.

IIRC need a line of spoken dialogue to get a SAG card. No need to make it easy for the union to add members.
