Cliff Simon Dead: ‘Stargate SG-1’ Actor Was 58
The South African played Ba’al on the sci-fi series.
Cliff Simon, the South African character actor who starred as Ba’al in the sci-fi series Stargate SG-1, died on March 9 after a kiteboarding accident. He was 58.
A message posted to Simon’s Facebook page said the actor died after the tragic accident on Topanga Beach, Calif. “He was known to most of you on this page as the villain you loved to hate, Ba’al, from Stargate SG-1. But as he said, “acting is what I do, it’s only a part of who I am.” And he was SO much more – a true original, an adventurer, a sailor, swimmer, dancer, actor, author. There is a gaping hole where he once stood on this earth. He was loved by too many to mention and had a great impact on so many lives.”
