I must whole heartedly agree with Shadoes. That sucks. It was bad enough they stopped the original series. Rest in peace fellow Missourian.

His hometown is a short drive from me.

I'm a huge fan of sci-fi television and movies, but I must admit my viewing of Stargate was infrequent(for no good reason). I like what I saw of the series. Probably not as much as some other late 90's-2000's era programs like Farscape, Firefly, and the new Battlestar, but a good one nonetheless. I enjoyed Don's character a great deal. I'm from Missouri, as well, not extremely close to his hometown. And, I had no idea he majored in theater at SIU in Carbondale, Illinois. Just over an hour from here, and the site for a con I attend each year. Anyway, 65 is far too young. My thoughts go to his family, fellow actors, friends, and fans.

I remember him mostly from Twin Peaks and not SG-1, but that's to be expected. I shall have a marathon of watchment in his honor.

I always liked his work. He will be missed, especially by us Stargate fans.
Rest in Peace General Hammond.

He was truly a critical element of the chemistry on Stargate. He will be missed.

I never watched this show, but I did like Twin Peaks. But I don't remember this actor in that series. But I will say R.I.P.

He was Major Garland Briggs in 16 episodes.
