SMALLVILLE (1×20): Aired 20 Years ago today

20 years ago (May 14, 2002) was Aaron’s first guest appearance on an episode of SMALLVILLE (1×20: Obscura).

Fun Fact 1: Mark Verheiden wrote this SMALLVILLE episode. Mark would later go on to become a writer and producer on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

Fun Fact 2: For Aaron’s character’s surname, IMDb had it listed as Vertigo. The Official Smallville Magazine has Birtigo. The subtitles for the episode has Bertigo. The character was wearing a name tag but it was too hard to make out what it read. So a couple of years ago Aaron (at my request) asked Mark Verheiden to confirm the spelling. Mark the absolute legend still had a copy of the script. It’s actually BIRDEGO. I had the IMDb entry corrected.

In the times before Chief.
Look at that hair.
Was that in the script? Ha!
Thank you to one of my closest friends @MarkVerheiden
This is the first time he wrote for me but certainly not the last.

I still remember the casting call for Aaron’s “Obscura” cop: must be handsome, GREAT hair, a magnificent specimen of humanity whose sterling bravery is a beacon of heroism for generations to come. My good pal Aaron brought all that and more! @theaarondouglas #Smallville
