Kelly Bishop is so fierce on screen yet so sweet and kind between takes. I asked her about working with Jerry Orbach and she had wonderful stories about the man. She’s a delight.

My 5th episode & the S1 finale of @watchfuleye airs TONIGHT at 10/9c on @FreeformTV #TheWatchfulEye

Kelly Bishop played Marjorie Houseman, the mother of Jennifer Grey’s character on DIRTY DANCING. And she played Emily Gilmore on GILMORE GIRLS. A show that used to throw in a lot of BSG references. There was even an episode where Rory was on the phone to Logan telling him that she thought her grandmother (played by Kelly Bishop) was a cylon 😂

 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 27, 2023
I’ve admired Brian Markinson for 20 years, ever since Lucky 7, and it was so great to work with him. I’m hoping for more. Proud to call him friend.

BUYING BACK MY DAUGHTER: Press Release

Here is the Press Release for the Lifetime Movie Buying Back My Daughter. Aaron Douglas plays Ron, a sex trafficker of teenage girls.

 

LIFETIME GREENLIGHTS NEW “RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES” MOVIE STARRING MEAGAN GOOD “BUYING BACK MY DAUGHTER”

INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS OF MOTHERS TRYING TO RESCUE THEIR DAUGHTERS FROM BEING SEX TRAFFICKED

ARIANA MADIX ALSO STARS ALONGSIDE ROGER CROSS AND FAITH WRIGHT

NEW YORK, NY (March 22, 2023) – Lifetime reteams with Meagan Good (Harlem, Shazam! Fury of the Gods) to executive produce and star in the Ripped from the Headlines feature, Buying Back My Daughter (working title), inspired by actual events of mothers who fight back when their teenage daughters go missing and are sex trafficked online. Good continues her relationship with Lifetime after having starred in and produced the films Death Saved My Life and Love By the 10th Date. Buying Back My Daughter will continue to bring to light important issues and continue to drive messaging for network’s Stop Violence Against Women campaign.

On the heels of the network’s recent successful features, Black Girl Missing, Girl in the Closet and The Girl Who Escaped: The Kara Robinson Story, Buying Back My Daughter is the latest movie for the network’s Ripped from the Headlines slate. Currently filming now, the movie also stars Ariana Madix (Vanderpump Rules), Roger Cross (Arrow) and Faith Wright (Riverdale).

When Dana (Meagan Good) and Curtis’ (Roger Cross) 16-year-old daughter, Alicia (Faith Wright), sneaks out of the house to attend a party, a bout with teenage rebellion quickly escalates into a widespread search party spearheaded by Dana and the police. After almost a year of searching for her missing daughter, mother’s intuition leads Dana to the salacious world of online escort ads where, to her horror, she finds her Alicia listed for sale. Dana and Curtis spring into action and attempt to “buy their daughter back” in order to rescue her from the trafficker who abducted Alicia and subjected her to unspeakable harm. Ariana Madix stars as Karen, a police officer who helps investigate the case and has a personal connection to the story.

Buying Back My Daughter is produced by Front Street Pictures for distribution by Lifetime. Produced by Charles Cooper. Executive producers are Orly Adelson, Allen Lewis and Meagan Good with James Jope as co-executive producer. Troy Scott directs from a script written by Barbara Marshall.

Good is repped by The Gersh Agency, Atlas Artists, The Initiative Group, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes, Krintzman, Rubenstein, Kohner, Endlich & Gellman.

BUYING BACK MY DAUGHTER: Aaron is currently filming a new LIFETIME movie

I guess we don’t have to keep it a secret anymore when the director posts a photo of Aaron to instagram and tags him in it. Ha.

Aaron is currently filming the Lifetime movie BUYING BACK MY DAUGHTER. The director of the movie is Troy Scott who was a 3rd AD on all of S2 and the first 16 episodes of S3 of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. So it was great for Aaron to have someone on set that he knows and trusts for such a delicate subject matter. I’m excited for Aaron to play someone VERY different but this one is going to be a real hard movie to watch.

Lifetime reteams with Meagan Good to executive produce and star in the Ripped from the Headlines feature, Buying Back My Daughter, inspired by actual events of mothers who fight back when their teenage daughters go missing and are sex trafficked online.

Synopsis: When Dana (Meagan Good) and Curtis’ (Roger Cross) 16-year-old daughter, Alicia (Faith Wright), sneaks out of the house to attend a party, a bout with teenage rebellion quickly escalates into a widespread search party spearheaded by Dana and the police. After almost a year of searching for her missing daughter, mother’s intuition leads Dana to the salacious world of online escort ads where, to her horror, she finds her Alicia listed for sale. Dana and Curtis spring into action and attempt to “buy their daughter back” in order to rescue her from the trafficker who abducted Alicia and subjected her to unspeakable harm.

THE STRANGER BESIDE ME: 20 Years ago today

The TV movie THE STRANGER BESIDE ME aired 20 years ago today (March 21, 2003). Aaron Douglas played Prosecutor Baines opposite Billy Campbell as Ted Bundy.

It still makes me laugh that Aaron and Rekha Sharma (playing Dr. Thurston) had a scene together and neither of them remember each other from it 🤣

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 21, 2023
Wow. Look at how young I look. Ha.

And yes, @TheRekhaSharma and I have no memory of this. HA!

Also, @WOCampbell remains one of my favourite people. He is SO kind and funny and just an absolute blast to be around.

Rekha Sharmas (@TheRekhaSharma) March 21, 2023
Aaron!!!! This is Amazing! Ha ha ha, proof at last! *now I remember you HAHAHA

As a huge Buffy & Angel fan when I was younger, I was so excited when I saw that Amy Acker was one of the main cast members on TWE. I made Aaron promise to try and get a photo with her. He did not disappoint.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 6, 2023
Ex-lovers, Otis and Tory @AmyAcker. Don’t they make such a cute couple? I don’t know what Tory sees in Dick. He’s such a … ummm … dick! Ha.

THE WEDDING COTTAGE: Aaron has completed filming

Aaron just recently finished working on a tv movie. I’m not allowed to give you any details just yet because of the whole NDA thing. But I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we have something to look forward to. The female lead he has worked with before. The male lead is a BSG fan but he wanted to fanboy to Aaron over DIRK GENTLY. I love that so much because it is my favourite role Aaron has played (besides Chief). The home they were filming in was used in a Blake Lively movie, so in Aaron’s down time in between filming he was completing a scavenger hunt matching screen caps 😀

BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE: 20 Years ago today

The TV movie BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE aired 20 years ago today (February 21, 2003). Aaron Douglas played Detective Jack Sclafani opposite Peter DeLuise as Detective George Brennan. This video clip will make no sense out of context so just watch it and enjoy baby faced Aaron and my teenage school girl crush, Doug Penhall 😀

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) February 21, 2023
What a joy of a man to work with. @RealPDeLuise and I laughed and laughed. Had a ball.

Happy 50th Birthday to me (Michelle)

Happy 50th Birthday to me! Chief ❤️’s Boomer & Boomer ❤️’s Chief. It makes me so happy that Aaron knew how much I would love this. It also makes me laugh that he knew not to mail this (because I wouldn’t trust the postal service with it) and he didn’t personalise it because he’d want to ask me what to write. He knows me too well and I love that 😀 ~ michelle (admin)

EDIT: It is NOT Aaron’s birthday, it is mine (Michelle). Aaron invited Grace Park to his house and had her personalise and sign a photo for me as a birthday present/surprise.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) February 9, 2023
You’re so very welcome! I know how much you love Chief and Boomer.

Have an amazing birthday!

And thank you Grace for helping me make Michelle’s 50th birthday extra special.
Next up the 3 of us have a glass of wine together and discuss all things Chief and Boomer. 😁

THE WATCHFUL EYE: Where to Watch

Did anyone get a chance to watch the two episode premiere on THE WATCHFUL EYE? It was SOOOOO good. Usually I watch shows and I’ll get bored and start playing on my phone but this held my attention the whole time. I can’t wait to watch Aaron’s episodes. I also had the added bonus of getting to recognise so many things inside the Greybourne because Aaron takes photos of the sets for me while he’s filming. But I think I accidentally got a spoiler. lol.

The show is set in NYC but filmed in Vancouver but they obviously filmed some exteriors in NYC. It made me laugh how Elena was outside the Greybourne in NYC and then she walks through the doors into the lobby and she’s on a set in Vancouver. Movie magic.

The first two episodes are streaming now on the FREEFORM website for free. If you’re outside the USA like me, use a VPN and it will play. ~ michelle (admin)

FINAL DESTINATION 2: 20 Years ago today

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 🤣

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) January 31, 2023
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. 😁

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) January 31, 2023
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.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) January 31, 2023
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.

THE WATCHFUL EYE: Premieres Tonight (Mon Jan 30)

Aaron’s new tv show THE WATCHFUL EYE premieres TONIGHT (Monday January 30) at 9pm est/pst on FREEFORM with the first two episodes. Episodes will air the following day on HULU. In Canada the episodes are airing on ABC SPARK.

Aaron’s character (Otis Winthrop III) doesn’t show up until the 4th episode but because the show is a mystery/thriller you need to watch the show from the beginning to pick up on all the clues to solve said mystery.

Even Aaron is going to watch this show and that’s saying a lot. He usually doesn’t watch things he’s in, I will make him video clips of just his scenes so he can see how it turned out. Obviously he watched BSG but other than that the only thing he’s watched all the episodes of was DIRK GENTLY.

THE WATCHFUL EYE: Premieres in one week

Aaron’s new tv show THE WATCHFUL EYE premieres next week, Monday January 30 at 9pm est/pst on FREEFORM with the first two episodes. It will then air weekly at 10pm for the remaining episodes. Episodes will air the following day on HULU. In Canada the episodes are airing on ABC SPARK.

Aaron’s first episode is 1×04 but because this show is a mystery/thriller you need to start watching from the first episode. Aaron plays OTIS WINTHROP III, he is Matthew Ward’s boss. Matthew is played by Warren Christie who you may remember played Tarn on BSG in the Kobol arc at the start of S2. Crashdown sends Chief, Tarn and Cally back to the Raptor crash site to get the medkit for Socinus. Tarn dies when they are ambushed by Cylon Centurions.

In preparation for the first episode, let’s meet the main cast ….

(1) ELENA SANTOS – The new nanny – played by Mariel Molino

(3) MRS. IVEY – The grand dame. – played by Kelly Bishop

(6) ELLIOTT SCHWARTZ – The lonely neighbor – played by Lex Lumpkin
(7) SCOTT MACEDO – The boyfriend – played by Jon Ecker
(8) GINNY WELLES – The innocent BFF – played by Aliyah Royale

 

(1) ELENA SANTOS – The new nanny.
Mariel Molino stars as Elena Santos, a bright, savvy young woman hired as the live-in nanny to a wealthy widower and his young son. When Elena moves into The Greybourne, a landmark Manhattan apartment building, she quickly learns about the complex politics among its wealthy inhabitants and a history riddled with mystery and tragedy. Luckily, Elena is more than equipped to handle anything that comes her way on her own terms.
