No, he was Gerak, the first prime of a not-screen-important Goa’uld before the Jaffa won their freedom, then became a member of the Jaffa Council that was trying to build a government.
He ultimately betrayed everyone to the Ori when he converted to origin… but betrayed the Ori at the last minute to use his new Pryor powers to cure the ori plague on earth, which resulted in him burning to death since the Ori dont like their powers being used for any reason but furthering their goals.
He was only in like… half a dozen episodes, but it was louis gossett jr so he left an impression for the small amount of screen time he had. I think it was the last or second to last season of SG1, so maybe you didnt watch that far?
I wouldnt blame you if you didnt. Show kept being told it was its final season, then ratings were too good so execs demanded more seasons, that it fell into the power creep hole when they dealt with the big bad in the finale, in what ended up not being the finale.
I’m a pilot as an adult and the opening scene where he races a motorcycle in his Cessna is hilarious. He’s got the flaps down the whole time to slow him. I think it was watchable though for nostalgia.
I loved fighter jets as a kid, Iron Eagle was one of my favorites in the 80s just for that. I even used to listen to music to focus for awhile lol, though it did help sometimes.Unless I’m highly under the influence I doubt I’ll ever watch it again.
Watched Enemy Mine again within the last decade or so, enjoyed it much more than when I was younger.
I guess it’s time to watch Iron Eagle again.
That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I tried to rewatch it as an adult, and it didn’t hold up very well.
Enemy Mine, however, is still amazing.
Enemy Mine is definitely my favorite Louis Gosset, Jr. movie. He was also terrific in the recent HBO Watchmen series.
IMDB says he was in five episodes of Stargate SG-1, but I totally do not remember him in it.
Was he Teal’c’s mentor or something?

I watched and rewatched stargate abit
I’ve watched it through twice but I only have a trace of a memory of this. Maybe because it came so late in the show?

No, I did. I watched the whole thing twice. It was just a long time ago.
And I enjoyed the Ori story arc to be honest. It was an obvious extension of the whole criticism of religion the show had pushed.
I have a vague memory of that.
Wait, no, that was Master Bratac and he was a white guy.
Yeah, I was way off. He worked for the Ori according to the Internet.
I want to say I remember that, but I’m not sure if I do or I just think I do.

And then they made 3 sequels…
