With great sadness we must report that veteran actor Don S. Davis passed away on June 29, 2008. He was 65 years old.

Don co-starred on Stargate SG-1 for the show's first seven years, helping to launch the enduring science fiction franchise. Davis played Major General George Hammond, base commander and a father figure to many of the show's characters.

He is also well-known for his portrayal of Major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks.

Off-screen, Don was beloved by the show's cast and crew. He departed the show in 2003 due to a medical condition that restricted his workload, but returned for several guest appearances on SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis in the following years. Don worked hard to improve his health, and continued to work both on screen and off until his death.

Stargate is one of the better scifi TV series ever made-certainly more watchable than the intolerable crapplestar craptactular-despite the way it gets poo-pood be TV snobs. Don Davis' character added an extra dimension to the show early on when it was struggling to figure itself out and later felt just as much part of the SG-1 team as the four team members.

Anyway RIP General Hammond, someone should pour out  a 40 on the iris for you.

Uh, he's more famous for the Twin Peaks episodes and the X-Files episode he was in than anything else he did in his career.  Fix the thread title please.  As it stands, the thread title is a Silicon Knights-sized abomination.  Stargate is bottom of the bucket puke.
