Pete Shanahan

Pete Shanahan is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 played by David DeLuise. He is a police detective working in Denver, Colorado, and met Samantha Carter while investigating a case, after Carter's brother set them up. Shortly after meeting each other, Shanahan and Carter developed a romantic relationship.

Pete thinks that he would possibly have ended up in jail, but there was a police officer who helped him set his life right, and Pete entered the police. He is also divorced, since his previous wife could not quite cope with Shanahan's work.

Shanahan was quite curious about the work that Carter was doing, so he contacted an acquaintancy in the FBI to run a background check and found out that Carter is associated with a top-secret project. Shanahan followed Carter in an attempt to find out what she is doing, and happened to see Osiris when SG-1 attempted to apprehend her. Shanahan joined the firefight and was lightly injured. Because of that, he was given security clearance and found out the true nature of the Stargate program.

Carter and Shanahan continued to meet each other, and Shanahan proposed to marry Carter. She agreed, but after Shanahan had already made wedding arrangements and was ready to buy a house, Carter cancelled the wedding and broke up with him on account of her father's death (Template:Sgcite).
