    Doh!

    Man, he was a great actor and a real part of SG. He'll be missed.

    The show won't be the same without him, he will be very much missed.

    Now whenever I watch SG1, that's all i'll think about. :(

     

    I didn't care much for his character at first, but he really grew on you as the show progressed.

     

    RIP General

    Oh, that sucks.  I didn't even become a Stargate fan until  recently, but when I did, I really grew to like General Hammond's character.  Sorry to hear that.  My best to his family.

    Yea that sucks. To bad he wont be making any more cameos on the show. I hope everyone who enjoyed the series will remember him as a good actor.

    Yeh he was a good actor and in the series he really grew on you, from a hard ass new CO to that lovable general we all with we had if we joined the Air force.

    I cant really imagine the series without him, man.. its strange.

     

    RIP

    He also was in an episode of McGyver many years ago as a cementmix truckdriver or whatever it's called.

    So McGyver or whatever his name is are old friends.

    He added a great deal to a great show.

    <p>Thats really sad, he was a great actor. Even thought i stopped watching hte show some time ago I still remember the going through the gate ceremony with him watching from the control room (a scene which we saw in 90% of the serie's eps). Hope there is some sort of tribute to him in the game.</p>

    I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long.

    Check this out, Don Davis had a small role in the movie Miracle with Kurt Russell.  Kurt Russell as you may know played Jack O'Neill in the original Stargate movie.

    Same here... funny thing is, after they promoted him out of SGC, nobody else filled the role well. RDA was the best actor in the entire series in like 7 seasons as the leader of SG-1, but couldn't pull off one season as general. Beau Bridges is probably the most accomplished actor associated with Stagate, but totally sucks donkey balls on this show. They seem to be having a similar problem replacing Weir on Atlantis.

    What? No way! That is a SHAME. I loved Davis in SG1. Infact, next to Dean Anderson, he was my favorite actor of both shows. I was sad when the wrote Anderson out, and pretty much left the show for the vultures when Davis aka Hamond was written of... Man, I was really looking forward to seeing him in more shows/movies. This is a shame.

    I hear he was a great guy.
