Don S. Davis - From MacGyver to Stargate
Don S. Davis, who played the beloved character of General Hammond has not been idle since leaving his full-time position on Stargate: SG-1. Nor has he left Stargate entirely behind him.
Davis has appeared as a guest star in episodes such as Prometheus Unbound. Amusingly, he has seen a lot more action as a guest star than he ever did as a regular. In Prometheus Unbound Hammond swipes one Dr. Daniel Jackson out from under the nose of a very perturbed General Jack O’Neill. Remember that’s with two L’s. Then Hammond commands an intergalactic ship, is captured by a thieving alien, stranded on a dead cargo ship, nearly asphyxiates and then fights off Goa’uld ships to save the life Jackson. It’s a pretty good episode for him all around.
For those who don’t know, Davis once played the double for character Pete Thornton on MacGyver. In fact, that how he met Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O’Neill on Stargate and MacGyver on MacGyver).
Davis has also appeared in such well know shows as Wiseguy, L.A. Law, 21 Jump Street, Knots Landing, Twin Peaks, Highlander and The Outer Limits. In fact, he’s been in so many shows and movies that I simply don’t have time to list them all.
Recently, Davis has appeared in shows such as Psych, in which he played a man who killed his own son, and The Dead Zone in which he played Senator Harlan Ellis.
So, keep a watch out for Davis in the following upcoming projects:
Beyond Loch Ness (2007)
Beneath (2007)
Ghost Prison (2007)
Far Cry (2008)
