Don Davis who was best known as General George S. Hammond in sci-fi series Stargate: SG-1 has sadly died following a heart attack at his home in Canada on the 29th June 2008. He was 65.

Don Sinclair Davis was born on the 4th August 1942, in Aurora, Mo. He began his career late after serving in Korea, where he became a U.S. Army captain, and studying drama in Illinois, where he earned a master’s degree in theatre.

He had a regular role as Gen. George S. Hammond on the science-fiction TV series “Stargate: SG-1″ from 1997 to 2006 and as Maj. Garland Briggs on the quirky “Twin Peaks” in the early ’90s. He also appeared as Scully’s father in “The X-Files” TV series.

Don Davis told the Press of Christchurch, New Zealand, last year that “I like sci-fi because it’s really one of the last places or genres that has clearly defined good and evil, and it’s a place where you can have heroes without them having to be overly flawed,”

Don Davis is survived by his wife, Ruby Fleming-Davis, a costumer, and his son, Matthew, from a previous marriage.

All our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time
