When I think of him I always remember the scene he did in Con Air, ranting about bird shit on his volvo when a fallen convict destroys said volvo.

I expect Continuum will be dedicated to him (He's in it after all). And well he deserves it.
The DVD's aren't due out until July 31st, so unless they've already begun encoding them, there may still be time.

That was sudden. 65 is too young to die. May you rest in peace, Don.

A real shame.

Unfortunately, considering that the Stargate Continuum already leaked, its unlikely there will be a dedication to him on the DVDs.

However, he does have a role in it, so at least his last role was actually the one he is remembered for, and not the Uwe Boll movie one.

Damn. I wasn't aware that he was even suffering from any health issues. Rest in peace, indeed, Hammond of Texas. *salutes*

If you count those straight to DVD StarGate movies than he went out doing the things he loved


Haven't seen Continum but im sure hes in it.
