Bill Lee (Stargate)

Bill Lee is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, portrayed by Bill Dow. He is a civilian scientist and engineer who works at Stargate Command and is often called upon to work with alien technology.

He worked with Daniel Jackson on a mission to Honduras to locate the Ancients' healing device, the basis of the Sarcophagus and (as we find out later) the Kull Disruptor. Lee and Jackson entered an ancient series of underground catacombs beneath a waterfall in Honduras and successfully located the Ancients' device, hidden away beneath the floor. He and Jackson barely made it out alive after triggering a booby trap, only to be captured by Honduran terrorists, led by Raphael, and held for ransom.

For days Lee and Jackson remained in captivity. Lee eventually succumbed to electric torture and spilled the truth about the healing device. He and Jackson made their escape out of the back of their wooden cell, only to be chased down by the terrorists. Daniel concealed Lee behind a tree, where he remained hidden until rescued by Jack O'Neill and Burke.

He is now in most episodes of SG-1 and is the picture of the somewhat bumbling, and far-too-easily-amused scientist. He has also appeared in the Stargate Atlantis spin-off series.
