INTERVIEW (AUDIO): Game of Life with Dan and Harman

Aaron Douglas (Chief), Jamie Bamber (Apollo) and Tahmoh Peniket (Helo) will be on the ‘Game of Life with Dan and Harman’ podcast next week. Our BSG guys will be appearing on separate episodes. When Aaron received the invite he was told it would be less of an interview and more of a conversation, which I really love the idea of. And after reading the description of the podcast (see attached image) I’m even more excited to listen to it and hopefully learn some things about Aaron that I didn’t know. Aaron recorded his episode at the end of May and hasn’t told me anything about what was discussed, so it’s going to be a surprise for me too. All I know is that he really enjoyed it. Dan and Harman live in Melbourne Australia, so dear Gods, I’m hoping Aaron didn’t do his impersonation of an Aussie accent 🙄🤣🤣

You can listen to the podcast on spotify, apple or wherever you get your podcasts. I’ll post another reminder once I know exactly what day his interview will be available to listen to.

ABOUT: Welcome to Game of Life with Dan and Harman! This podcast is all about understanding the ups and downs of life and career from a creative lens. Your hosts Dan and Harman come from a writing, comedy, and photography background so our guests have ranged from comedians to photographers.

We love delving into the success, failures, and struggles that other creatives endure when making their way through life in the industry. What is their why? What makes them unique? Why do they have a passion for what they do? We delve into the philosophical and try to ask as many questions as we can from a creative’s point of view in hopes we can apply some words of wisdom to our own creative trajectory.

Above all else, we keep our conversations light, fun, and relaxed! Our guests have included comedians, photographers, actors, writers, documentarians, podcasters, opera singers, DJ’s, journalists, clowns, dancers, musical theatre performers, directors, producers, and a whole lot more!

THE MENTOR: 10 Years Ago Today

The Lifetime movie THE MENTOR premiered 10 years ago today (June 14, 2014).
I remember watching this movie when it first aired and I was so weirded out by Aaron in this scene that I pretty much threw my laptop off of me and put it on the opposite side of the room, to get him away from me 🤣🤣🤣 The toothbrush in the mouth part STILL freaks me the frak out.

SYNOPSIS: Elizabeth May (Jes Macallan) tries to put the loss of her eight-year-old daughter behind her by going back to teaching. Under the stress of the tragedy her husband Brian May (Nic Bishop) has moved out while Elizabeth is desperate to save her marriage and return to a life of normalcy. In her new job she is assigned a mentor, Paul Allenham (Aaron Douglas), who is hiding a deep dark violent past. Paul has an immediate and unsettling attraction to Elizabeth; he will do anything to secure her love.

MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN: Trailer

Here is our first look at Aaron as Sergeant Sid Sokolowski in the new FOX television series MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN. Aaron is one of the main cast members, so this means a lot more of Aaron back on our tv screens. MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN is a psychological crime drama that stars Rossif Sutherland as Karl Alberg and Kristin Kreuk as Cassandra Mitchell.

Pictured with Aaron is Rossif Sutherland (yep, half-brother to Kiefer and son of Donald). Aaron and Rossif became besties during filming, so we gave their characters a ‘ship (relationship) name’. Please meet Alberski 😀 (ALBERg + sokolowSKI).

Today was the FOX upfront. That’s where the network executives present upcoming fall tv series to advertisers, members of the press, etc. From the Upfronts we learned that MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN will be airing on FOX on Tuesday night at 9pm. I will let you know once we have an air date. The show will also be airing in Canada (GlobalTV), UK (ITV) and I assume other international countries, but we don’t have any news on when. But as soon as we hear anything I will let you all know.

SYNOPSIS: Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book “Karl Alberg” series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright, and starring Rossif Sutherland (Reign, The Handmaid’s Tale) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast), Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg (Sutherland), who moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore. Kreuk stars as Cassandra, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s muse, foil and romantic interest. Mya Lowe (My Life with the Walter Boys, Yellowjackets), Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica, The Watchful Eye), Fritzy-Klevans Destine (The Boys, Superman & Lois) and Savonna Spracklin (Two-Spirit Odyssey, Wildhood) recur in the series, which also features special guest stars James Cromwell (Babe, Succession), Stana Katic (Castle, Absentia) and Paula Patton (The Perfect Match, Precious).

MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN: Aaron’s new TV show

Very excited to announce that Aaron is one of the main cast members on the new FOX tv series MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN. This means a lot more of Aaron back on our tv screens. Yay!!!!! MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN is a psychological crime drama that stars Rossif Sutherland as Karl Alberg and Kristin Kreuk as Cassandra Mitchell.

Aaron is playing SGT. SID SOKOLOWSKI. “SERGEANT SID SOKOLOWSKI — Foremost amongst the detachment’s traditionalists is Karl Alberg’s second-in-command. A decent man, devoted father of five. Alberg rekindles the dormant fire of a man who has lost his spark”.

The show is based on the Karl Alberg book series by late Canadian author L.R. Wright. There will be 9 episodes in season 1. They are almost halfway through filming right now. Filming should be completed by mid May. I *think* the plan is for the episodes to start airing in the fall but I’ll let you know once that’s been confirmed. The show will air on FOX in the US. I believe in Canada it will air on GlobalTV and ITV has acquired international rights. Again, once everything is actually confirmed I’ll let you know.

Synopsis: MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN follows Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland), who moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore. Kristin Kreuk stars as Cassandra, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s muse, foil and romantic interest.

BIG NEWS: COMING SOON

There should be a big announcement coming tomorrow. Aaron has been told it’s happening tomorrow morning. I’m in Australia so ‘tomorrow morning’ will be some ungodly hour for me and I’ll be asleep. So you all might hear about it before I get the chance to announce it on here.

It’s not Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel or BSG related but it is BIG NEWS and I know you’ll all be very excited and happy for Aaron 😀

There are 3 comic books in the series. Issue #3 is out on Feb 21, 2024. Then all 3 comics will be put together in a hardcover book coming out in July 2024. Look for Issues #1 and #2 at your local comic book store (or ask them to order it in for you).

Letters: Jim Campbell
Cover Artist: Cliff Richards
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics

With no clear suspect at hand, the local underworld arms up for retaliation, but while Sil’s case evidence holds no keys to the murderous mystery, there may be only one place Sil needs to look–into a mirror!

INTERVIEW (AUDIO): Comic Book Yeti

Mark Verheiden and Aaron Douglas talk Borealis
By: Byron O’Neal
Date: January 13, 2024
Source: Comic Book Yeti

Aaron and Mark Verheiden spoke to Byron O’Neal from The Comic Book Yeti podcast to discuss their new comic BOREALIS. There are 3 comic books in the series. Issue #1 is already out. Issue #2 comes out next week (Jan 17) and Issue #3 is out on Feb 21, 2024. Then all 3 comics will be put together in a hardcover book coming out in July 2024.

This is a really great interview. Comic books aren’t really my thing but I found this to be a REALLY interesting interview (Byron is great at his job) and I learned a lot of things about the comic and their process. Stay until the end where Aaron cryptically discusses what he has coming up work wise. I can’t wait until we can tell you all about it.

Description: What do you get when two old Battlestar Galactia alumni get together to make a comic book. Turns out, not at all what you might expect. I got a chance to catch up with Mark Verheiden and Aaron Douglas to hear all about their new Dark Horse Comics project, Borealis. I was initially drawn to it from the native and supernatural elements alone but this is a big story with lots of overlapping narratives. Pulling in the talented team of Cliff Richards to handle the art duties and colored deftly by Guy Major (both of which have names one might find in credits from Airwolf or something,) this is a book that comes off as surprisingly urban given its very remote setting in rural Alaska. I honestly have no idea how they are going to wrap the initial arc up in three issues but I’m sticking around to find out. Issue 2 is out in stores next week.

WILD CARDS: Premieres on January 10, 2024

The tv series WILD CARDS premieres on January 10, 2024 on CBC (Canada) and on January 17, 2024 on THE CW (US). It stars Vanessa Morgan, Giacomo Gianniotti and Jason Priestley. Aaron guest stars in episode 7 (Con With The Wind). If they continue to air an episode each week then Aaron’s episode should be airing Feb 21 in Canada and on Feb 28 in the US. I’ll post a reminder as it gets closer to the air date.

 

WILD CARDS is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Cole Ellis (GIACOMO GIANNIOTTI) is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell (VANESSA MORGAN) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But while arrested and being held at the station, Max ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime. The two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves – Ellis needs to get back to his detective post and Max needs to stay out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.

BOREALIS: Issue #1 Out Now

Issue #1 of the comic book BOREALIS, written by Mark Verheiden & Aaron Douglas is out today (December 20, 2023). Attached images are of the cover of the comic and the first 5 pages. There are 3 comic books in the series. #2 is out on Jan 17, 2024 and #3 on Feb 21, 2024. Then all 3 comics will be put together in a hardcover book coming out in July 2024. Look for Issue #1 at your local comic book store (or ask them to order it in for you). Aaron went to two comic book stores today and they were sold out. They had one copy left at the third store he went to. It is also available on Kindle (links at the bottom of this post). I also found it on Apple Books and Google Play Books.

I know that some of you were asking if Aaron would be selling signed copies on his website store. And we assumed that would be a thing. But Dark Horse never sent him or Mark copies of the comic. Even Mark had to go to his local comic book store like Aaron and buy one. So we were thinking that once the hardcover (with all 3 comics) comes out in July 2024, Aaron will get copies of that and both Mark and Aaron will sign them and that’s what we’ll sell on Aaron’s website store.

BOREALIS #1
Writers: Mark Verheiden, Aaron Douglas
Artist: Cliff Richards
Colorist: Guy Major
Letters: Jim Campbell
Cover Artist: Cliff Richards
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Genres: Action/Adventure, Crime, Horror
Format: Full Color, 24 pages; Miniseries
UPC: 7 61568 01156 2 00111

From screenwriter Mark Verheiden (The Mask, Swamp Thing), writer/actor Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica, Hemlock Grove), and artist Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Justice League) comes BOREALIS, a bone-chilling supernatural thriller!

Winter nights last months, temperatures can hit seventy below, alcohol is illegal . . . and something mysterious is emerging on the remote ice. Welcome to the isolated Qinu, Alaska and a world of bad memories for State Trooper Silaluk “Sil” Osha. After thirteen years away from Qinu, Sil is pulled back to investigate a series of brutal murders, only to face a dark past . . . and her frightening connection to deadly legends.
