Douglas Christopher Judge (born October 13 1964 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor of African American and Cherokee Indian descent. He attended the University of Oregon on a football scholarship, and was an all Pacific Ten Conference player.
One of his first roles was in a 1990 episode of MacGyver with future Stargate co-star Richard Dean Anderson. Judge is best known for playing Teal'c in Stargate SG-1. He has written several episodes of Stargate SG-1, most of which deal with crises for his character. He has also done voice acting for animated series and video games, including the voice of Magneto on X-Men: Evolution and the canceled Stargate SG-1: The Alliance. In the season eight episode, "Avatar", Teal'c informs SG-1 that he plays Def Jam Vendetta, alluding to the fact that Chris Judge was a voice actor in that game.
Judge provided the voice of Zodak on the revived He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon. The 2002 redesign of (the originally caucasian) Zodak as an individual of African descent could arguably have been intended to pay homage to Judge, but this is unlikely as the series was based on the revised toyline designed well before Judge's likely casting, and the specific physical resemblance to the actor is minimal.
Has four children, Cameron, Christopher, Catrina and Chloe.
During college, he entered a contest to host the West Coast FOX KLSR Morning Show. His five minute dialogue won.
Attended the University of Oregon on a football scholarship. Studied telecommunications and film. He played defensive safety and played in the Hula Bowl his senior year.
Studied Drama at the renowned Howard Fine (III) Studio in Los Angeles.
His best friend is "Stargate SG-1" (1997) co-star Michael Shanks.
Of the five original "Stargate SG-1" (1997) regulars, he is the only one who did not appear in the first season of the spin-off series "Stargate: Atlantis" (2004).
His character, Hector, was killed by Remiel, played by Michael Shanks, in the "Andromeda" (2000) episode "Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath". In the "Stargate SG-1" (1997) episode "Moebius Part 2", his character, Teal'c, killed Shanks' character, Dr. Daniel Jackson.
(7 February 2005) His fiancée, actress/model Gianna Patton, gave birth to their first child, a girl Chloe.
Brother of Jeff Judge.
Brother-in-law of actress Erica Durance.
Christopher is his mother's maiden name.
Of the four original SG1 team members from the hit sci-fi series Stargate SG1, he appeared in the most episodes (212). Amanda Tapping was in 207 episodes, Michael Shanks was in 197, and Richard Dean Anderson only appeared in 175.
