Doctor Daniel Jackson Played by Michael Shanks
Orphaned at age eight, Daniel followed his parents in their profession of archaeology. He holds three PhDs, in archaeology, anthropology and philology. His theories on cross-culture pollination and doubts over the actual builders of the Egyptian pyramids led him to be ostracised by his peers, and brought him into the secret Stargate program where he solved the riddle of the Gate and opened the way to the stars.

Leaving behind his wife and son, Rya'c, Teal'c joined SG-1.
