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.

 

I'm crushed. He was one of my favourite characters.

I just saw this on Gateworld myself and nearly shed a tear.
