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.

The following message was provided by Don's representative and his wife,
Ruby Fleming-Davis:
