Same uniform and face and everything.<br /><br />I doubt that SG-1 cast the actor in a similar role deliberately though. It seems more likely to me that David Lynch stole the character from series that would be created 6 years after Twin Peaks was cancelled, just to blow people's minds when wikis were finally invented.Ray Hardgrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436491500347661133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685723882144479396.post-28705680372023175162017-06-24T15:20:47.830+01:002017-06-24T15:20:47.830+01:00It's the way that Richard Dean Anderson plays ...<i>It's the way that Richard Dean Anderson plays the character that bothers me more, as he doesn't make me believe for a moment that he's the same person that Kurt Russell was playing in the film. But then O'Neil spent the whole film traumatised and suicidally depressed so I suppose that makes sense. Plus this guy is O'Neill with two 'l's.</i><br /><br />It would have been fun if they did an episode in which the stargate takes the team to a parallel universe and MacGyver-O'Neill meets MacReady-O'Neil. Maybe they did do this; I've seen perhaps ten episodes of <i>SG-1</i>, because it wasn't on any proper channels over here and I only watch it now when I come across it on SyFy or Five* or something. I doubt they could afford Kurt Russell though, even for a one-off, even in the late 90's.<br /><br /><i>General Hammond here isn't from the movie though. He's outright replaced General West as the head of the Stargate project.</i><br /><br />He's also suspiciously similar to Major Briggs from <i>Twin Peaks</i>. I mean, I know it's the same actor, but Briggs was also working on a top secret magic portal project for the USAF.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
