Goodbye, General Hammond

GateWorld reports that actor Don S. Davis, best known as General George Hammond on Stargate SG-1, has passed away.

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.

In interviews, he always seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
