The Official Fansite for actor Aaron Douglas. Aaron is best known for his role as Chief Galen Tyrol on the SyFy television series Battlestar Galactica.
#TBT. Aaron in movies with “famous” people.
I accidentally left my external hard drive (with all the good photos) at home, so apologies for the lame #TBT this week. The word “famous” is used loosely and “in the movie with” for some of these is a bit of a stretch *cough*CATWOMAN*cough*. And I swear that is Michael Keaton in the last photo. That’s him in front of Aaron with his back to the camera.
I *LOVE* this tweet from James Callis to Aaron. It made me LOL.
James is referencing a conversation that Chief and Baltar have in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×03: Fragged.
Chief: Doc…let’s go. We’re moving out. Doc, you hear me? We’re moving out.
Baltar: I did hear you, Chief. I just don’t respond to the title “Doc.” A “dock” is a platform for loading and unloading material. My title is “doctor,”or “Mr. Vice president,” if you don’t mind.
Chief: You are loading, are you not?
Aaron is heading to Ashcroft tomorrow to star in the short film THE ORCHARD. The film is based on the comic book of the same name written by Ed Brisson.
If you don’t mind spoilers you can read the comic by clicking on the image below. Aaron will be playing Jack.
THE ORCHARD was one of the recent BravoFACT Award Recipients. BravoFACT (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent) is a Canadian fund established in 1995 that has distributed millions of dollars in awards to Canadians for the production of short form scripted projects.
BravoFACT has a YouTube channel so maybe we’ll see THE ORCHARD on there. Or maybe it will be available to purchase on iTunes like CORVUS one of the Directors previous movies was. Once I find out when/where it will be available to watch I’ll be sure to let everyone know.
The below information on the film is from the BravoFACT website.
Description:
Charles, a small-town cop, finds himself in a life-altering dilemma when his long-time partner, Jack, kidnaps and murders a homicide suspect.Credits:

The Lifetime website has been updated to include a photo of Aaron and Jes Macallan from the movie THE MENTOR. What an awful an unflattering photo of Aaron.
Looks like that’s the promo photo they’re going with because they also added it to the SCHEDULE page.
I didn’t tweet that photo because I thought he’d kill me. But I did send it to him and he has tweeted it himself. haha.
#TBT. Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and the Chief on the set of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Miniseries.
Awww, look at how young Aaron is. Baby Chief is sooo cute/adorable. He’s still all of that now of course but you know what I mean :)
#TBT Bonus Photo. Adama (Edward James Olmos) and the Chief on the set of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 4×02: SIX OF ONE.
It’s fun to compare this photo with the one I posted above. Our guy is all grown up :)
Yay!!! We finally have the correct air date and time for Aaron’s movie THE MENTOR. Saturday June 14th at 8pm on the Lifetime channel.
Aaron plays Paul Allenham, Jes Macallan (MISTRESSES) plays Elizabeth and Nic Bishop (BODY OF PROOF) plays Brian.

EXCLUSIVE NEWS: Aaron will probably tweet about it later but we’re getting the news first. Aaron is filming a cameo in the movie THE DRIFTLESS AREA. He is playing a fireman/bartender. From the sounds of the attached synopsis for the movie it looks like Aaron will be in scenes with the main character. Yay to playing “Spot Aaron” while watching a movie at the cinema :)

I guess that A&E press release that said Aaron’s movie THE MENTOR was going to air at 8pm on May 31st was incorrect. The schedule (http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/schedule) shows things airing at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. But nothing for 8pm. I thought maybe they were waiting to add it later. But yesterday the schedule was updated up until June 29th and still no mention of THE MENTOR. I found another link to a schedule (http://www.mylifetime.com/lifetime-tv-schedule/PT/1/2014-05-31) and that shows something called ‘Petals on the Wind’ airing at 8pm on May 31st. I’ll let you know if I hear any news on when it’s going to air.
We finally have a date for the series premiere of THE STRAIN. If they air one episode each week then Aaron’s episode (1×07: For Services Rendered) should be airing on August 24th, 2014.
#TBT. Behind-the-scenes photo of Aaron with Tahmoh Penikett (Helo) and Michael Trucco (Anders) during the filming of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 4×11: Sometimes A Great Notion. I guess “nuked earth” wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be in the episode ;)
Here is the new trailer for Aaron’s video game WATCH DOGS. Aaron did the voice and motion capture for the character Jordi Chin. You can see Jordi at time stamp 3:13 – 3:38. WATCH DOGS will be released on May 27 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Apparently the Wii U version will be released at a later date.

Aaron is in episode 5 (Mind Wars) of FALLING SKIES. Season 4 will premiere June 22nd, so Aaron’s episode should air July 20th, 2014. But I’ll make a post about it once the air date is confirmed.
#TBT. Behind-the-scenes photo of Grace Park and Aaron during the filming of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×20: Lay Down Your Burdens (Part 2). I was hoping this was Boomer but it’s Athena. It’s from when they were shooting the scene where Starbuck, Anders, Helo, Athena and Cavil have arrived back on Galactica and Chief realises the Cavil is a Cylon. Copy & paste of the scene from Wikipedia below if you need a reminder.
When Starbuck’s rescue team returns to Galactica, an alarmed Chief Tyrol notices a copy of Brother Cavil among the rescued Caprican survivors and alerts security. The man admits to being a Cylon and is taken to the brig along with Sharon Agathon, who knew Cavil was a Cylon agent and didn’t warn them. Sharon later explains to Helo that she didn’t warn them because she believes Adama killed her baby and that she no longer cares what happens to her. – Wikipedia
Here is the ‘character trailer’ for the video game WATCH DOGS. Aaron did the voice and motion capture for Jordi Chin.
