He wasn't the greatest actor and never would have been the lead in anything, but Don S. Davis was definitely rock solid as a supporting character actor, one of those steady guys that you'd see on TV and go "oh, yeah, he's pretty good". I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

RIP, Don.

First time I saw him was as the military officer from Twin Peaks. As an X-Phile I more warmly remember him as Scully's father... Sad news indeed.

I wonder if there'll be any scramble to rewrite the upcoming Stargate Continuum to, for lack of a better term, retire and pay tribute to the character of General Hammond now that the actor's gone.

@Shadowen, nope. He's in active duty.

I've never watched Stargate, but I immensely enjoyed Don Davis' turn as major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks. He was engaged in some hush-hush space monitoring programme about which he could only drop mere hints to Dale Cooper, whom he recognized as a kindred spirit in the sense of keeping an open mind about inexplicable events in the cosmos. Briggs' deadpan interaction with his hyperenergetic rebel teenage son Bobby (Dana Ashbrook - where did he go?) was also a sight to behold and cracked me up many times. Don Davis was a good guy. I'm sorry to hear he's gone.

I met Mr. Davis very briefly during a trip to the Stargate set with some colleagues a few years ago. He came up and said hello to us, shook our hands, and made us feel extremely welcome... this during a very hectic shooting period with a lot of stress and pressure. It was a small gesture, but very sweet and thoughtful, and I'd like to think that's the way the man was all the time. So sorry to hear that he's gone.
