As I've mentioned hundreds of times here on SciFiHistory.Net -- along with a variety of other places where I occasionally find myself -- I wasn't that big a fan of the original Stargate series during its run. Though I did watch the first few episodes when it originally premiered on Showtime, it just didn't quite intrigue me enough to hang with it. I've since gone back and watched the first few seasons on streaming; and -- while I do appreciate a bit more now that I'm older (and immeasureably wiser) -- I'll still admit that it only occasionally resonates with me as much as it does with fandom in general. I like it. I'm just not gaga over it.
Regardless, I'm thankful for the franchise because it's given so many talented faces a chance to play in the realms of the Fantastic, such as that of Obi Ndefo. Across the show's run on television, the actor enjoyed six appearances, and that's definitely some feat. For what it's worth, I can see from his professional profile that he's also dabbled elsewhere in entertainment, and he's enjoyed a bit of screen time in such other diversions as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Angel, Star Trek: Voyager, and Vampires In Venice (2013).
I noticed a posting of the man's passing just over the weekend, and I wanted to share the information with the readership. From what I can understand, his life had been challenging as of late -- he'd lost his legs relating to an accident, and I believe his passing was owed to a rare eating disorder -- and I hope we can all find solace in knowing that he's, at least, no longer suffering in any pain that may've befallen him later in life.
Our warmest prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Mr. Ndefo.
May he rest in peace.
