Christopher Judge
Teal'c
A native of L.A., Christopher Judge was born in 1967. He has one younger brother. Whilst he always wanted to be an actor (he started acting in Junior High), to begin with he was a successful athlete. Using his skills to the full, he got into the University of Oregon with a football scholarship. First of all he was in a pre-med curriculum, but he found out he couldn't do the maths. (Maths is scum!) Then he was a philosophy major for six months, then a psych major, before finally deciding on telecommunications and film with a psychology minor.
Success came in the athletic arena, where his real skill lay in baseball. His baseball coach wanted him to give up American Football, but (in his own words), "football players got all the chicks". Not that he was bad at American Football! He become an All-American three times and played in the Hula Bowl. Chris played as a defensive safety.
His first step into entertainment came when he won a contest to host a morning radio show in Oregon. But he got started in acting in his senior year, when Fox hosted some regional contests. It was their first year as a network, and they needed programming. After winning, he hosted an "MTV talk show type thing", used it to get an agent, and things went from there. In 1989 he started studying at the Howard Fine Studio in Los Angeles. His first acting role was in the 1990 film Bird on a Wire and from there he starred in numerous films and TV shows before landing the role of the Jaffa, Teal'c, in Stargate SG-1.
He's also been in TV movies such as Peter DeLuise's Romantic Comedy 101, big screen blockbusters like Disney's Snow Dogs and he's had a go at writing episodes of Stargate SG-1 ("The Changeling", "Birthright", and "Sacrifices"). He's guest starred in lots of Sci-fi shows, including Andromeda and First Wave. As well as acting in the conventional sense, he's the voice of Simon Gray in Action Man and Magneto in X-Men: Evolution.
During the middle of 2002 he set up a photography studio with his girlfriend Gianna. In his own words, "Photography is just something I've picked up again; I used to work for a number of modeling agencies in LA a few years back doing tests. My girlfriend and I have set up a studio and are working on it as a business (she is a makeup artist and model/actress). It's always good to have something to fall back on!".

Don S. Davis
Major General George S. Hammond (Seasons 1-7)
Don S. Davis was a character actor, painter, designer, woodcarver, former theater professor, and was a Captain in the United States Army during the sixties. Don was born and raised in a small town in the Missouri Ozarks. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree with double major in theater and art from Southwest Missouri State College in 1965. He then served three years on active duty in the United States Army.
Upon his release from active duty in the military Don entered the University of Southern Illinois, in Carbondale, Illinois, to work toward a Masters Degree in theater. Don received his Masters Degree in 1970. He then taught for a number of years before returning to Southern Illinois University to complete the coursework for a PhD in Theater. Don received his PhD in 1982. Don's first love throughout his life has been the visual arts.
He grew up drawing, painting, and creating sculptural constructions. When Don was a small boy his father, M.T. Davis, owned a lumberyard and supported Don's interests by setting up a functional woodworking shop for his son's use in the basement of the family home. He also took the time to teach Don to whittle and carve wood. The constant positive encouragement of Don's creative endeavours by his family made it a natural progression for Don to continue to be vitally interested in creating paintings, drawings, carvings and design projects as he grew into adulthood. As a result Don spent nearly twenty years applying and developing all those interests while earning his living as a collegiate scene designer and augmenting his income with art sales and various design commissions.
Don began working in the film industry while teaching at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada in the early 1980s. He left teaching to pursue acting full time in 1987.

Beau Bridges
General Henry "Hank" Landry (Seasons 9+)
He is one of the most versatile of all the Bridges family members.
He was born Lloyd Vernet Bridges, III, on December 9, 1941. Parents Lloyd and Dorothy soon deemed him worthy of the nickname "Beau," after the character in the novel they were reading at the time, Gone With the Wind. He was later joined by brother Jeff and sister Cindy, and the family was now complete.
Like thousands of little boys all over America, Beau was a member of the Cub Scouts. One of the best deeds he ever did was one he probably would have done anyway, even without the encouragement of the scouting program - He realized that their father's frequent work out of town was leaving a void in Jeff's life, so Beau spent extra time with him to make up for it. Consequently, the brothers are still very close.
He has been married twice and is the father of five children - two with his first wife, Julie, and three with his present wife, Wendy. Of all his children, it appears that Jordan is following most in his footsteps, having appeared in twelve films and several television shows so far. Beau has carried on more family traditions than just show business, however. Devotion to his family has been evident throughout his life. As a boy, he loved sports and taught his little brother how to play baseball. Just as his father coached Beau's long-ago Little League team, Beau did the same for his children. Lloyd had given his young sons parts in his television series, and Beau cast his children in some of his films, too. In fact, the Outer Limits episode entitled "The Sandkings" was quite fortunate to have three generations of Bridges working together in it - Lloyd, Beau, and his son Dylan. Lloyd and Beau both starred in the Harts of the West series, then worked together again in one of the patriarch's final films, Meeting Daddy.
While he has appeared in about a hundred films and dozens of television shows to date, he doesn't limit himself to just acting. He's also a gifted director and producer. In a series of Defenders TV movies, for instance, he worked his way up from producer, to co-executive producer, and finally to executive producer. He's a very hard worker and has learned many different aspects of his craft.
A music lover, he has been described as honest, loyal, humble, outgoing, and competitive. He might be a very important presence in the entertainment industry, but he is just as vital to his family. It would be quite difficult to do both well, but it appears that this man has met the challenge.
He was working as Major General Henry "Hank" Landry in the hit tv show Stargate SG-1, until the TV show ended in 2007.moreless -

After several appearances on stage, including traditional Shakespeare, Ben garnered a few minor appearances in feature films, including a small part as a rookie captain in Memphis Belle and the role of a short-lived boyfriend in A Kiss Before Dying with Sean Young and Matt Dillon. He was first widely exposed to the American and Canadian television viewing audiences as the recurring character of "Sam" on the series Party of Five. In 1999, Jim Henson productions teamed with the SciFi Channel to produce Farscape, where he was cast to play John Crichton. Ben's family owns and operates a NASCAR Busch series race car, driven by his brother Neil Browder. Ben joined the regular cast of Stargate SG-1 for it's ninth season in 2005.moreless -

Nemec III (Fourth down on the right) a well known and very successful Art and Production Designer.

As a young boy, Joseph was known as Corin by everyone who loved him. As a baby, his grandmother used to say that he was a 'real corker', this turned into Corky. From then on, everyone called him Corky. From Corky sprung Corin, the name we all know him as. Raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Corin grew up like any other neighbourhood kid, attending school and doing what boys like to do best, doing dangerous dare devil stunts well beyond what they are capable of. He was in and out of hospital for stitches and became a popular face there. The emergency room knew him by name. His first encounter was at the tender age of Three after falling off a swing. "I had tons of stitches, I was always getting hurt." The hospital he attended as a kid is called SAINT JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL, not named after Corin, but almost could have been. It was at the tender age of Seven when Corin first realized he wanted to become an actor. He was watching television and turned to his mother and announced that he wanted to be an actor before he grew up. It was the movie The Goonies that was the big catalist for Corin.. His father worked as the Art Director on that movie, and designed all the sets. Shortly afterwards he moved to L.A with his mum and sister to make his dream a reality. Corin joined the Center Stage in L.A when he was eleven and then started to perform in theatre companies at the tender age of twelve. Between Twelve and Fifteen Corin did a lot of creative improv at many comedy venues in California. He was soon picked up by an agent and went on to acting in TV commercials soon afterwards. His first break was for a Suzuki car commercial. His first TV show was back in 1986 on an episode of Sidekicks, but it was the hit show Webster that gave him his first major breakthrough in 1987. He learned a lot from that experience. He played Nicky Papadropolis and was with the show until it ended in the following year. In 1988 he made his first feature movie playing Noble Tucker in the movie Tucker - The Man And His Dream about the car maker of the same name. The actor playing the lead was Jeff Bridges. In 1990 Corin who was then billed as Corin 'Corky' Nemec was noticed by TV critics for his powerful portrayal of Steven Stayner in the mini-series based on a true story I Know My First Name is Steven. At the prestigious Emmy's he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the ripe old age of sixteen, and won the Youth In Film Award for the very same performance. He was now an actor people were taking notice of. He signed with Eddie Murphy Productions to star in What's Alan Watching and in the same year he gained cult status for playing the title role in the hit teen sitcom Parker Lewis Can't Lose, a show inspired by John Hughes popular '86 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Corin has since gone on to star in many movies including Solar Crisis(1990), For The Very First Time(1991), 'Til I Kissed Ya (1991), Drop Zone(1994) and Operation Drop Dumbo(1995) to name but a few. He also starred in the very popular Stephen King mini-series The Stand as Harold Lauder. He has starred alongside some of the finest actors in the business including Corin's personal favourite Jack Palance. They starred together in the big budget sci-fi movie Solar Crisis. The most recent movies Corin has starred in include the horror Mansquito and comedy Nice Guys. (For a full list of acting roles please check out the Filmography section) He keeps his stage roots and is a member of the American Repertory Company where he practices method acting along with more creative methods of acting. Corin is a man of many talents. Not only does he act, but he also writes poetry, short stories, screenplays and children's books. He has been writing poetry since elementary school and became a published poet in a book called The Best Poets Of The Year 2000. He has done a number of readings in poetry lounges in both Vancouver and Los Angeles. He has been an artist from the start.
