Don S. Davis: 1942-2008

[chrono trigger]

Aww seeing this thread makes me nostalgic for the times when SG1 was still on air and he was playing Stargates most beloved general. He brought a real warmth to the role that many actors can fail to achieve.

I watched Twin Peaks for the first time last year, solely because Don S. Davis was in it.

So I have been watching Twin Peaks for the first time. WOW! I have to say as little as Don S. Davis is in that series his acting performance blows away what he did in SG-1 and I love him in SG-1. Maybe it is just me, but that show suffers by not having his character in it more. I just think he is great and despite the fact he is playing someone close to General Hammond I feel they are miles apart, but equally great. I just think D.S.D. brings more interesting nuances to Major Briggs. Not that Hammond isn't interesting. I just think Briggs has more layers. I am so glad I decided to sit down and watch Twin Peaks. I have been pleasantly surprised by the show and shockingly surprised by how great D.S.D. is in it. So sad he has been gone for so long.

I was just thinking of him the other day. We all miss him.

Good luck and God's speed good General.

It's has been 4 years already.... he died in an Olympic year.

Wow, it really seems like it was not too long ago. He was a great actor who clearly had an impact on so many people. No matter how long it will be, he will always have a special place in the minds of so many people.

I miss him. I really wish I'd had the chance to meet him.

R.I.P! We'll never forget you.

[SG1 Joe]

God bless you Dr. Davis. May you rest in peace. You will be missed.

I absolutely loved Don S. Davis, and I was really sad to hear the news of his passing. Interestingly enough, one of his last projects was "Wyvern", and I actually saw that movie the night it premiered . It was odd seeing him in something that wasn't SG (as I got so used to seeing him as General Hammond).

Nice.

When I was looking around youtube for more tributes I noticed some of them had there music taken away because of copyright infringement

[Death Jester]

I only just found out about this! That's such a shame. He was an awesome actor and Hammond was a really good character. He'll be missed.

R.I.P. Don.
