The movie FINAL DESTINATION 2 was released in cinemas in the USA and Canada 20 years ago today (January 31, 2003). Aaron Douglas played Deputy Steve Adams. I don’t know about anyone else but whenever I’m driving behind a truck that’s carrying poles, my brain always says “Final Destination” and I change lanes 🤣

Look at that hair!
Just a flood of memories watching this. Wow. We had so much fun shooting this but we both felt like we were in a different film than the others. Ha!
Also… I too still change lanes. 😁

One thing that was so great about this role was that the director let me take this pretty straight forward Deputy and let me adlib, play around and give him some life. Doesn’t often happen that you’re given the leeway as an actor but it taught me to go for it until they say stop.

Which served me VERY well on Battlestar Galactica, thank you Ron, David and Michael for letting me loose, and is something I still do today. Sometimes I get away with it, sometimes not. 🤷🏻♂️
A great example of “getting away with it” is Gordon Rimmer on Dirk Gently.
