Don S. Davis was “for me anyways” General Hammond, never before has and actor and a man been so perfect for a role and so articulate to his trade. I would so have loved to meet him while in the company of SG1 and the key players on Stargate.

I truly hope that he has found the true Stargate and will forever live on in this world and many others.

I remain a true fan and hope to purchase some of his artwork as a reminder to his greatness and spirit.

He was a great actor in so many movies and patrs he played…

I will miss him endlessly. Speacially cause I’m a Stargate-fan and to know that this wonderful man is truely gone just made my tears come up…

May god be mercyful and may he be resurrected…

R.I.P. Don.

Many a year I have watched Stargate and seen Hammond as both a role-model and a Father fihure.

I just found out and it teisted my guts more than I’d have ever predicted.

I don’t know if Mr Davis was anything like his characters…but if he was even remotely similar, the Universe has lost a great man!

My heart goes out to his friends and family, along with anyone who worked with him as I’m sure he made an impact on all whom he met.

Whatever his interests in life…the sentiment remains the same…

Rock on Don. We love you!

He will be missed, I first encountered him on the X-Files and only later discovered Twin Peaks and Stargate. He was the sort of actor who served as the backbone for any show he was in.

That art is amazing, definitely more to Mr. Davis than met the eye. It’s a reminder of what Nadya said about Carlin’s passing, and what we should all do: pick one person — still living — that interests you and research the shit out of ‘em.

Now my longstanding dream of a Garland Briggs headed rescue mission into Black Lodge will never be realized.
Someone on mefi posted this, which was really one of the high points of the show for me, and his monolgue in the X Files ep “One Breath” was masterful, and never fails to make me cry.
Davis really seemed to embody what people mean when they say, “Hey! It’s that guy!” He was just one of those actors whose name wasn’t known but whose bearing, warmth, and talent were always recognized and remembered.

Briggs was the man. I loved the scene before his disappearance where he went fishing with Cooper as well. Grand-scale straight arrow good guy banter between those two!

I’ma get a little sad pang whenever we lose anyone from the Twin Peaks cast :(

So long Major Briggs!

I always wanted to write a paper about the esotericism of Twin Peaks, particularly the Black Lodge symbolism, though there are other motifs from the western esoteric tradition throughout the series as well.

Thanks for the update.

Kind Regards,

Don’t forget the head of the white lodge was also Scully’s dad on the X-files. Great voice i’m surprise he wasn’t huge with voice over work.
