Davis</a>, <a href="http://www.mahalo.com/Don_S._Davis_Dead">known for his portrayal</a> of Dana Scully's father Captain Scully on <i>The X Files</i>, Major Garland Briggs on <i>Twin Peaks</i>, and Colonel George Hammond on <i>Stargate</i>, <a href="http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/06/don_s._davis_1942-2008.shtml">passed away Sunday at the age of 65</a>. Even if you don't remember him from those roles, if you <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0204493/">take a look at his IMDB page</a>, you will probably recognize him from something. He had a gift for taking stereotypical military roles and bringing a warmth and gentleness to them. One of his final roles was in the <i>Stargate</i> movie <i>Continuum</i>, which will premiere on DVD this month. tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.72976 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:38:39 -0800 death donsdavis stargate twinpeaks xfiles rednikki
