Actor Cliff Simon, best known for starring in the Stargate SG-1 franchise as the villain character Ba’al, passed away in Tuesday, March 9. Simon’s wife confirmed the news on his Facebook page, writing: “To Friends, family and fans, It is with unimaginable heartbreak that I am sharing with you, that my beloved husband, Cliff Simon, passed away at 12:30pm on Tuesday March 9, 2021. He was at Topanga Beach, California and sadly passed away after a tragic kiteboarding accident. He was known to most of you on this page as the villain you loved to hate, Ba’al, from Stargate SG-1. But as he said, ‘acting is what I do, it’s only a part of who I am.’”
