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.
Originally an occasional character with a somewhat annoying attitude, he is now in most episodes of SG-1 and is the picture of the somewhat bumbling and certainly far-too-easily-amused scientist. He has also appeared in the
Stargate Atlantis spin-off series.
