Jack O'Neill
Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill is a fictional character in the German-Canadian-American Sci-Fi Channel television series Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, three science fiction shows about military teams exploring the galaxy via a network of alien transportation devices. Played by American actor Richard Dean Anderson, O'Neill was a main character in the first eight seasons of Stargate SG-1 (1997–2005). O'Neill had a recurring role in Stargate Atlantis for the first three seasons (2004–2007), and he also appeared in the 2008 direct-to-DVD SG-1 film Stargate: Continuum in a recurring status.
Anderson reduced his character's status in season six to spend more time with his family; in season eight he left the show, removing him from the status of a main character. Colonel Jack O'Neill (spelled O'Neil in the film) makes his first appearance, played by actor Kurt Russell in the 1994 military science fiction film Stargate, written by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich. Colonel O'Neill is a United States Air Force Colonel with experience in special operations, and he led the first team through the Stargate on a reconnaissance mission.
After the creation of Stargate Command (SGC) in "Children of the Gods", the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1, he is given command of the primary SG team, SG-1, which consists of Daniel Jackson, Teal'c and Samantha "Sam" Carter. Being promoted to Brigadier general in Season 8, O'Neill is choosen as the new leader of Stargate Command after George Hammond's departure from the show. At the start of Seasons 9 O'Neill is again promoted, this time as the leader of Department of Homeworld Security, so that Richard Dean Anderson could leave the show to spend time with his family.
Colonel O'Neill appears in most episodes of the first eight seasons of Stargate SG-1; however, he only appears in 4 episodes of season 9 and 10. Jack O'Neill (spelled "O'Neil" in the film) is a United States Air Force colonel with experience in special ops. In the Stargate film, O'Neil is married to Sarah O'Neil and suffers a period of suicidal depression after his son accidentally shot himself with O'Neil's pistol.
O'Neil is recalled to active duty and when Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader) deciphers the Stargate, he leads a reconnaissance mission of airmen and Daniel to the other side. O'Neil's standing order is to detonate a nuclear warhead near the Stargate at the sign of danger, but a young boy named Skaara (Alexis Cruz) gives him a renewed sense of life.
After the defeat of Ra (Jaye Davidson), O'Neil and his team return to Earth while Daniel remains on the planet with his new-found love.
