My Take
Don S. Davis is one of those character actors whose authority you simply believed. As General Hammond and Major Briggs he embodied a steady, fatherly gravitas that anchored whole shows. What deepens my admiration is that he was also a sculptor and painter, a working artist offscreen. That tells me he understood craft from both sides, the discipline of making and the discipline of performing. He passed in 2008, but he left behind a body of screen work and visual art that feels honest and unhurried. I rate him as a quietly complete creative man, more layered than his uniforms ever suggested.
