Actor Cliff Simon, best known as the villain Ba'al on Stargate SG-1, has died aged 58, his family has confirmed. He passed after a kiteboarding accident at Topanga Beach in California earlier this week.
"He was known to most of you on this page as the villain you loved to hate, Ba'al, from Stargate SG-1," His wife Colette Simon said in a post on Facebook.
"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."
The South African actor's TV credits also included appearances in all three of the NCIS series, Castle, Days of Our Lives, The Americans, and 24.
