Major General Hank Landry

Hank Landry arrives at Stargate Command as its new commanding officer, stepping into a program built on secrets he's still learning. A career Air Force man rather than a scientist or a veteran of the gate teams, he's blunt, plainspoken, and unshowy — more concerned with keeping his people alive than with theory.

Beau Bridges plays authority without stiffness, giving Landry a folksy, unhurried warmth that never curdles into softness when hard calls are needed. After years of flashier, more mythologized commanders, he works precisely because he feels like a real officer who wandered into a war against gods and just started doing the job.
