He wrote the lyrics to the song "Cleo Rocks" for "MacGyver" (1985) episode #4.9 of the same name.

He appeared on "MacGyver" (1985) as "Murdoc," an insane and ruthless villain who always seems to come back from the dead. His was originally slated to be a one-time appearance. Yet because he did such a good job, producers Henry Winkler and John Rich gave Des Barres a recurring role.
