Title: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: trekgeezer on July 01, 2008, 10:20:10 AM Davis is best known as General George Hammond from Stargate SG-1. Davis appeared as a guest star on many TV shows and appeared in a lot of low budget movies and some work in major pictures (ie, A League of Their Own).
I didn't know until I read this article that he was also Dana Elcar's stunt double on McGyver. http://gateworld.net/news/2008/06/don_s._davis_1942-2008.shtml Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: ulthar on July 01, 2008, 10:43:29 AM Oh wow. He's been in a ton of tv shows...probably one of those ones that folks will recognize his face if not his name.
RIP, Don. Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: trekgeezer on July 01, 2008, 12:00:14 PM Yeah, Don has been one of those "that guy" actors.
Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: Doc Daneeka on July 01, 2008, 07:39:29 PM I read this and expected he was the mniddle-aged guy on all the SG1 commercials, then I did an image search and thought he was the guy who played Pauly from Darkman. Then I looked him up and found out he died last year... :bluesad:

Farewell, Hammond of Texas. RIP Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: CheezeFlixz on July 01, 2008, 10:58:40 PM Wow 65, not that old ... man!
RIP Don thanks for all the shows. Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: Trevor on July 03, 2008, 06:11:36 AM Davis is best known as General George Hammond from Stargate SG-1.

[url]http://gateworld.net/news/2008/06/don_s._davis_1942-2008.shtml[/url] That's a shame, IAK (I have to get used to calling you that now). I'll never forget him playing Dana Scully's father in that X Filesepisode Beyond The Sea where he appears to her (long after he and her mom have left) sitting in a chair, across from her and she says "Dad? I thought you left already." Then the phone rings: :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout: Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: Jack on July 03, 2008, 06:29:17 AM Oh man, that's a huge bummer. I didn't recognize his name at first, but as soon as you said it was General Hammond, jeez, I really liked that guy. Especialy on Stargate, he seemed perfect for the part and added a whole lot to the show. He was a fatherly figure, a really nice guy, but at the same time he didn't take any crap and if you crossed the line he cut you down a notch or two.
RIP Don, you'll be missed. Title: Re: RIP Don S. Davis Post by: AndyC on July 03, 2008, 07:46:23 AM I didn't know until I read this article that he was also Dana Elcar's stunt double on McGyver. Not surprising. I've gotten those two mixed up before. |
