So blessed to call you friend.

20 years ago (October 24, 2003) Aaron’s episode of JEREMIAH (2×03: Strange Attractors) aired. R.I.P. Luke Perry ❤️ That one still hurts a lot. Stupid facebook won’t let me post videos, so if you want to watch Aaron’s scenes from the episode you can find that here http://aarondouglasfans.com/2003/10/24/video-jeremiah-2×03-strange-attractors/
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) October 24, 2023
Wow. How fun!
Who would have thought that 20 years later I’d be working with one of Luke’s 90210 co-stars 🤫🤐😉
And here’s another video clip from the episode. This one is just of Aaron and Luke Perry ❤️

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – Miniseries: 20 Years ago today
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Today* is the 20 year anniversary of the first day of filming on the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Miniseries.
* We think it was April 1st 2003 but we haven’t been able to confirm it. IMDb says that filming was 1 April 2003 – 6 June 2003. The book ‘Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion’ written by David Bassom says “Principal photography for the miniseries occured between 1 April and 12 June 2003”. Jamie Bamber told Aaron that he knows his first day of filming on the miniseries was April 3rd because it was his 30th birthday and he believes that James Callis and Tricia Helfer had already been filming for a couple of days before that. You would think with a start date of April 1st (April Fools’ Day) someone would remember if that was the correct date or not. April 1st was a Tuesday in 2003 so it maybe could have been Monday March 31st that was the first day of filming 🤷♀️
Where’s Wally?/Waldo? How many can you spot from the main cast? I can see Adama, Roslin, Chief, Starbuck, Apollo, Dualla, Col. Tigh, Elosha, Cally, Prosna, Billy, Capt. Kelly. And director Michael Rymer, EP David Eick and Harvey Frand. I can’t see Gaius, Six, Sharon, Helo, Gaeta. They were probably filming elsewhere when the photo was taken.
Red dots = 1 Dualla, 2 Adama, 3 Roslin, 4 Apollo, 5 Elosha, 6 Col. Tigh, 7 Starbuck, 8 Chief, 9 Prosna, 10 Cally, 11 Capt. Kelly, 12 Billy. Blue dots = 1 Harvey Frand, 2 Michael Rymer, 3 David Eick

This video brings back so many memories. It was a really cool and unique adventure. I’d never experienced anything like it before nor since. I am glad we did it. I love the fact that 20 years later we’re all still in contact and are a real family ❤️

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

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.

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.

BEYOND BELIEF: FACT OR FICTION (4×08): Aired 20 Years ago today
20 years ago (August 1, 2002) Aaron guest starred on an episode of BEYOND BELIEF: FACT OR FICTION (4×08: The Flower Jury).
There were 5 short stories per episode and host Jonathan Frakes would ask the audience to guess whether the story was true or false. At the end of the episode he would reveal whether or not each story was fact or fiction.
Here is a video clip of the story that Aaron was in and the reveal on whether it was fact or fiction. Did you guess correctly?
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) August 1, 2022
Oh man what a fun trip down “12 year old looking me” lane. Ha
And all these years I could’ve been bragging that I’ve worked with @jonathansfrakes

STARGATE SG-1 (6×02): Aired 20 Years ago today
20 years ago (June 14, 2002) was Aaron’s 2nd guest appearance on an episode of STARGATE SG-1 (6×02: Redemption – Part 2).
Fun Fact 1: This SG-1 episode was directed by Martin Wood. Martin has been the director on 5 tv shows/movies that Aaron has been in. (1) Stargate SG-1 (2) When Calls the Heart (3) Aurora Teagarden (4) Operation Christmas Drop. And last month they completed filming a movie for Paramount+ titled Double Life.
Fun Fact 2: This SG-1 episode was written by Robert C. Cooper. Robert was an Executive Producer on DIRK GENTLY’S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY. Gordon Rimmer in that tv show is one of my most favourite roles Aaron has played. And I guess that Robert was equally as impressed because he asked Aaron to be in his tv show UNSPEAKABLE.

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.
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) May 14, 2022
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.
Mark Verheiden (@MarkVerheiden) May 14, 2022
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

DARK ANGEL (2×16): Aired 20 Years ago today
20 years ago (March 22, 2002) a baby faced Aaron guest starred on an episode of DARK ANGEL (2×16: Exposure). TWENTY YEARS!!! 🤯
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 22, 2022
Good gods! Look at that hat! Haha
Man… I was cute once upon a time.
Who knew that clerk would become Chief? 🤣
Aaron Douglas Fans (@AD_Fans) March 22, 2022
Callum Keith Rennie was in the same Dark Angel episode as you. That’s 5 things you were both in but no scenes together. BSG, Dark Angel, Shattered, The Firm, Little Pink House. But you guys would play golf together, right?
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 22, 2022
Callum is many things.
An incredibly nice man.
Impossibly smart, kind, thoughtful and present.
One of the finest actors alive.
But what kills me the most…
He’s a GREAT Godsdamn golfer. 😁
Next round on me buddy. 😉
Michelle Forbes (@MishkaForbes) March 22, 2022
Still cute for sure 🥰🥰🥰
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) March 22, 2022

Schucks….

More schucks ….
Just trying to keep up with you my beautiful and amazing friend.
Thank you. 😁

THE OUTER LIMITS (7×13): Aired 20 Years ago today
20 years ago!!! 🤯 Long before he knew he would be a cylon, Aaron was taking a goo bath in an episode of THE OUTER LIMITS.
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 31, 2021
This thread is awesome.
I never connected these dots. Ha
The Blue Goo was definitely Gooier. 😁
Chief in the goo bath (cylon resurrection tub). Zoom in on the first image, you can see he’s wearing underwear. lol.
