Gilligan’s Gulfstream: 10 Celebrities You’d Want To Get “Lost” With

The Lost island may have a grip on the Losties, but if you were to be stranded on the island, which celebrities would you want with you? While our Gulfstream V may seat fewer than Oceanic Air Flight 815, we still have room for 10 other passengers, and here are the 10 people we would most want to see on our Lost Island.

Richard Dean Anderson. We are hoping that Richard picked up some of those MacGyver tricks that he used over his seven years playing the man who create a bomb out of a toothpick and a rubber band. How could you not want a man who can make a solar-powered oven out of a coconut and rock on your Island?

News on 'Burn Notice'

June 30, 2008

News, notes and observations:

•In a recent interview (watch this space for more about this show, which returns on USA July 10), "Burn Notice" creator Matt Nix shared a little casting news: Michael Shanks, who played Daniel Jackson on "Stargate SG-1," will appear in four consecutive episodes of the show as Victor, another burned spy with whom Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) and his new "handler," Carla, will work. Shanks arrives in Episode 6 of Season 2. According to Donovan, whom I also interviewed recently, "Victor is what Michael would be if Michael had rabies."

Actor Don S. Davis dies in Gibsons

Chad Skelton - Vancouver Sun
Monday, June 30, 2008


BRITISH COLUMBIA - Don Sinclair Davis, a B.C. actor best known for his recurring role on the TV show Stargate SG-1, died of a heart attack Sunday morning at his home in Gibsons. He was 65.

"He had a massive heart attack," said Gail Wilson, a friend who lives just down the street from Davis. "The ambulances came [and] I know they tried to resuscitate him in the driveway and couldn't."

Wilson said Davis had had heart problems for years and suffered from diabetes.

Davis leaves behind his wife Ruby Fleming-Davis, who he married in 2003, and a son from a previous marriage.

Davis, who had a PhD in theatre, was born and raised in Missouri and began acting in the early 1980s while teaching at the University of British Columbia. In 1987, he gave up teaching to act full time.

A variety of sites are now reporting on the passing of Don S. Davis:

Pop Culture Zoo

Screen Rant

Cinematical

Davis is one of the many versatile, unheralded character actors to have moved through Hollywood in relative anonymity. I wouldn't say he was a phenomenal talent, though he was certainly very good, but it so happens that he played two pivotal roles on two television shows that, more than any other works of art, shaped my taste in movies and stories when I was a young teenager.

Monsters and Critics

Executive producer Joe Mallozzi of Stargate: Atlantis today spoke to Monsters and Critics on the phone in a conference call, and noted the passing of the actor he cited as a wonderfully warm and talented human being. Mallozzi noted he would be posting a special entry about Davis in his ongoing blog: Thoughts and Tirades, Rants and Ruminations.

iO9

SG-1's producer, Joe Mallozzi shared that his favorite memory of Davis' was watching him work the conventions with fans. Many fans approached the General with trepidation (because of his character) but Davis was always incredibly charming with the fans and won them over immediately. Mallozzi also added that Davis was a true friend and, "had a bigger heart than his character that he played... and will be missed not just by the fans but by everyone who worked with him."

The TV Show Blog

I always loved Davis, and his portrayal of Hammond was both commanding and fatherly. He had a great career, and was an acting force in the ’80s and ’90s on television with roles on the hottest shows of the time. He will be missed.

SciFi Cool

Pop Critics

I am personally saddened by his passing as I am a longtime fan of his character on “Stargate: SG1.” He played the commander of Stargate command for seven seasons and was fantastic in the role, alternating between stern commander and more lenient father figure. After he left the show, or stopped being a regular, it always felt like something was missing.

Fused Film

I am deeply sad to see him go and though I didn’t know him personally I enjoyed his grandfather/father-like persona on the show and will always remember him has the caring and honorable Major General George Hammond.

"Hopefully they'll have an 'Atlantis' theme park ride in the future," Picardo said jokingly.

'Twilight' Actor Michael Welch Auditioned For Edward Cullen But Found Right Fit With Athletic Geek Mike Newton

'As much as I appreciate my representatives thinking that I could pull off hauntingly beautiful ... it's not quite me,' actor jokes.

By Larry Carroll


SANTA MONICA, California — How much do Twilighters love Michael Welch? So much that when MTV News missed the 20-year-old actor during our set visit, fans began online petitions for us to give him the proper Twilight Tuesday treatment. Spider monkeys, consider your wish granted.

**snippage**

MTV: Believe it or not, there might be somebody out there who still doesn't know what "Twilight" is. So if you could, explain Mike Newton.

Michael Welch: Mike Newton is a cool guy. He's a fun character. He is hopelessly obsessed with the new mysterious, interesting, beautiful girl in high school. He's got some contrasts [because] on the one hand he's this athlete, a basketball player, and on the other hand he's a geek and socially awkward. He's like how "Family Guy" describes Shia LaBeouf: When Peter was like, "Not quite the nerd, not quite the hunk — Shia LaBeouf!" That's how I feel about Mike.

Check out everything we've got on "Twilight."
