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.
That new photo of Tyrol that is on the front of one of the DVDs, is also in the book that comes with the Best Buy version of the DVDs and on one of the dvd covers.
YouTube User Violent317 has uploaded a video showing all the pages of the book.
If you purchase the BSG Season 4.0 DVD’s from BEST BUY (USA and CANADA) it comes with special packaging, dog tags, and a book.
One of the discs has a photo of Tyrol on it (see image above). Looks like they’ve been holding out on us with the promo photos because it’s a different photo of Tyrol than the ones that have been released so far.
Thanks to the post by jeebs83 at Battlestar Blog for the news on the DVDs.

Modern Guitars Magazine – The Battlestar Galactica guitar
I’m a big geek. Seriously, I’ve been into comics and sci-fi since I could barely read. I attend the conventions and I watch the shows. And I’m the biggest geek where it comes to the show Battlestar Galactica. Though I watched the first show when it aired in the 70’s, I’m talking about the masterpiece that is the re-imagining.
I love the show so much that I wanted a personal connection with it. I’ve worked with many celebrities and I don’t ask for autographs. I feel it’s unprofessional. But I wanted autographs from the cast of BSG more than anything. I also wanted to give something in return. My idea was to offer a guitar that would be auctioned for charity in return for autographs on the guitar and on a painting for me.
I mentioned my plan to Debbie Slavkin, program manager at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation. She and I worked together on 2 previous auction guitars – the 24 and the nip/tuck painted on Lipe Guitars. The nip/tuck was autographed by the cast of the show and the 24 was autographed by Keifer Sutherland. Both were sold to benefit the Academy.
Debbie said if she could make it happen, could we sell the guitar in an upcoming auction for the Academy. I agreed and she quickly put me in contact with Carol Marks-George, who was working on the set of Battlestar Galactica in Vancouver.
In our initial email contacts, I shared my design of the guitar with Carol. I kept it simple. I wanted plenty of negative space for autographs. And I wanted it dark, like the show. The show is the ship and I took great pleasure in reproducing the ship on the surface of the beautiful American-made Stratocaster.
It takes a lot of good people to make such a guitar happen. My good friend Del Breckenfeld at Fender donated the guitar. The guitar had to be dis-assembled before I could paint it and that was done by Mike Lipe. He and I began working together from his Guitar Doctor shop in Burbank, then through the Ibanez Custom Shop. We now work together on many projects and he’s always someone I can call on for my charity projects.
After Mike took the hardware off the body and removed the neck, I did my artwork. Then everything was sent to another generous friend that I’ve worked with for many years, Pat Wilkins of Wilkins Finishes. He applied a thin coat of clear to protect the artwork, but not to finish it.
Then the guitar body was shipped to the set of Battlestar Galactica. After some interesting discussions with Canadian customs, it arrived in good shape after a few days. I was extremely grateful that the cast was doing this for me and expressed this by sending each cast member a gift bag with a thank you note, specialty chocolates and a pen for signing the guitar and artwork.
At the last minute, I threw in a disposable camera and asked Carol if they wouldn’t mind taking pictures of the signing of the guitar. I figured, what the heck, it’s worth a shot.
I got a call soon after from Carol telling me that they’d thrown the camera out and instead had their set photographer shoot the stars with the guitars. Not only that, but the actors also signed the photos! There was a set for the auction and a set for me. The geek in me was over-the-top.
The autographed guitar was shipped back and then taken back to Pat Wilkins for the final clearcoat. From there it went to Mike Lipe for re-assembly and set-up. I purchased custom knobs that were black metal with red glass that I felt really matched the theme.
Overall, the process took several months, involved many people and covered many miles. The result was a gorgeous one-of-a-kind guitar that was built by people doing good things for each other. It’s corny, but it really does feel good.
So say we all.

Galen Tyrol Quiz
Date: June 3, 2008
Source: The Official Battlestar Galactica Website
The SciFi.com website have added Galen Tyrol to their list of quizzes on BSG characters.
These questions are sooooooo easy. Shame on anyone that doesn’t get 10 out of 10 :)
SPOILER WARNING: There are some questions in the quiz about the episodes 4×04: Escape Velocity and 4×05: The Road Less Traveled.
QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
http://aarondouglas.livejournal.com/88690.html
Below is excerpt from the wired.com article about S4 of BSG. According to them, Aaron has said he will never say FRAK on BSG …
Frak is back, big time
Characters spew BSG’s signature F word four times in the season opener’s first three minutes. But don’t expect the Chief to use the expletive any time soon. Aaron Douglas, the actor who plays Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol, told Wired.com that he vows never to utter frak on camera. Too bad he’s used it at home: While taking pots out of a kitchen cabinet, Douglas says, some kitchenware fell directly on his foot. Gut reaction? “Frak!”
Is that true? I know the Chief has said frakking, mother-frakker, frak wit. But has the Chief never said frak? Really? Hmmmm, I think this needs a little investigating. Off to rewatch scenes of the Chief.
EDIT: Here’s all the mentions of frak-isms by the Chief. I stopped checking once I found an actual frak.
1×07: Six Degrees of Separation – “Frak it” [Note: He was mumbling it. So I’ll let him get away with that one]
2×01: Scattered – “That’s it. That’s it, you stupid, frakked-up crap!”
2×02: Valley of Darkness – “Mother-frakker”
2×08: Final Cut – “You know what? Frak the camera. You’ve been riding by crews ass for no frakking reason”
2×09: Flight of the Phoenix – “Did she fill you in on the rest of the plan? She and I were going to muster out at the end of our service. You know, then we would get married. Maybe we would have children. I guess I’m just a big frakkin’ idiot, though, huh? Probably that goddamn toaster’s plan all along”
2×09: Flight of the Phoenix – “(in his head) Frak it. Why not?”
And from tonight’s episode …
4×01: He That Believeth In Me – “Get the frak in there, go kill something”
4×01: He That Believeth In Me – “Anders! Get the frak in your Viper!”
EDIT (2): In Aaron’s defence (because I asked him about this) He said that he gave them that quote back in season one. And as you can see, he never said it in season one. Aaron FTW :)

10. Chief Petty Officer Tyrol (Aaron Douglas): In the dramatic season opening episode, we save 15% by switching our insurance to Geico.
9. D’Anna Biers (Lucy Lawless): You’ll find out what’s in the hatch and who gets off the island – crap, wrong show.
8. Dr. Baltar (James Callis): My character creates his own line of “honey roasted space nuts.”
7. Lieutenant Sharon Valerii (Grace Park): What else are you going to do, read a book?
6. Number Six (Tricia Helfer): There’s a good chance you’ll get to see me naked.
5. Colonel Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan): There’s a good chance you’ll see me naked.
4. Captain Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber): New FTL drives will allow the colonial fleet to better adjust to gravitational variations and achieve maximum superluminal travel to outrun the pursuing cylon basestars – I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.
3. Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff): We engage in a life-and-death battle against evil robots… you know, same **** as last year.
2. President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell): I take on the most challenging task of my political career – doing a lame top ten list on a third-rate talk show.
1. Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos): Watch me lead us into war against the Cylons without an exit strategy.

SCI-FI PREVIEW

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Returns Friday, 4/4 10/9c, Sci Fi Channel)
Last March’s season finale boosted one of the great shockers in TV history: Four humans — Col. Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan), Sam Anders (Michael Trucco), “Chief” Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) and President Roslin’s assistant Tory Foster (Rekha Sharma) — suddenly found that they’re actually robotic Cylons. When the final season begins, they’ll still be in the closet and grappling with their new identities in very different ways, ranging from righteous denial (Tigh) to outright liberation (that would be Tory). A break within the Cylon collective will put Natalie — yet another version of Number Six (Tricia Helfer) — in charge of a rebel faction. Back from the dead, Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) learns of the prediction (revealed in last fall’s BSG TV-movie Razor) that she is the herald of the apocalypse and that the humans must not follow her to Earth.
But who is the fifth and final Cylon? “It’s going to surprise a lot of people,” promises Mark Stern, Sci Fi’s executive VP of original programming. “The reveal will have great emotional resonance and will make many things that happened in the first three seasons click into place and make sense.”
BSG nuts take hope: The dearth of new material brought on by the writers’ strike has revived interest in Caprica, a fully scripted pilot for a BSG prequel that’s been sitting around Sci Fi for over a year. Reports Stern: “I just got a call from [parent company] NBC-Universal. They want us to take another look at the project.”

Hanging With the Cool Kids on ‘Galactica’

Note: This is a snippet of an interview with XXX where he mentions AARON DOUGLAS / CHIEF TYROL. To read the full interview, click HERE.
“We’re the coolest, no question about it,” says Penikett.
He recounts how “Eureka” actor Ed Quinn tracked the “Battlestar” cast down when he first arrived in Vancouver. “We didn’t know who he was,” Penikett says. “He was, ‘Welcome to town. Would you like to come over and watch the fights?’ The guy couldn’t shut up about the show. It was awesome.”
Apparently, the relationship has continued.
“I’ve been a fan since the beginning,” says Quinn, speaking in early May. “That show, the writing, it’s just opera. It’s so incredibly good. Aaron Douglas is a friend of mine, and I have been texting him, ‘You are a bleeping, bleeping Cylon, you bleeping traitor.’ He is so angry with me. He’s probably going to punch me.”

Another rock star in Project Teddy Bear history… Battlestar Galatica’s Aaron Douglas… who helped get most of the cast to participate! This year, my friend Eileen (who I met through the New York Browncoats) is walking and I’ve sucked her into the PTB effort. She helped me get some bears signed at the Stargate Con last November and she knows a woman who knows Aaron Douglas and, voila! I sent out a package and just a few weeks later, I had the signatures and pictures in my hot little hands. OH! They all signed a pink boxing glove, too!!

Below are some more photos from the day. Aaron isn’t in any of these photos.
ANTHRAX VISITS THE GALACTICA
Here’s some pics of our set visit to the set of Battlestar Galactica at Vancouver Film Studios in
Caprica CityVancouver, British Columbia on August 2, 2006. Since Anthrax’s only hobbies/interests outside of metal are eating, drinking, boobs, more metal and watching TV, getting the chance to visit the greatest show on TV was, how should I put this… was #@($&#*@$#*& UNREAL!!!The gallery is mostly cornball photos of Frankie, Scott, Mike Monterulo (our agent) and the always heinous Brent Thompson (me, duh). We all the best time and everyone was AMAZINGLY nice to us. We were just kids in a candy store all day. The joke is they must have thought we were Metallica or something.
Best moment you ask? We were at the catering truck and Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) turns around and says “HEY, IT’S THE BAND!”, so cool!!! Then he commanded us to “EAT” and we all scurried around like roaches in sunlight. When he gives an order, you better do it.
Huge thanks to Mark Strigl of TALKING METAL (iTunes #1 rated heavy metal music podcast) for hooking us up and Lana “Cy-Lana” Kim of SciFi for allowing a bunch of foul-mouthed, just got in from the strip clubs ballet at 4AM, tattooed bunch of metalheads on the lot. Hugs and kisses to Sian McArthur for being the hostess with the mostest. To all the set guys that moved the latters and lights and all that stuff for us – you can be in our road crew any day! Humongous thanks to Carole Segal for the amazing photos. Oh, and thank you Ronald D. Moore for creating the best TV show in the history of medium. Why is television a medium? Because anything well done is rare. All puns intended and Battlestar is the filet mignon of TV shows.
Also horns go out to the Aaron (Chief Tyrol) Douglas for showing us around his ship, Katee (Starbuck) Sackhoff for signing my Dirk Benedict action figure and starring in my dreams nightly, James (Gaius Baltar) Callis for being more evil than George Bush, Michael (Col. Tigh) Hogan for not throwing us in the brig, Tricia (No. 6) Helfer for allowing us to stare breathlessly at her followed by more staring, Tahmoh (Helo) Penikett for not reporting us when Scott dropped his ice cream on the Basestar set, Kandyse (Dualla) McClure for having the world’s monst beautiful eyeballs, Michael (Anders) Trucco for letting me call him “Cousin Oliver” all day, Dean (Brother Cavil) Stockwell for acknowledging our presence, Lucy (D’Anna Biers) Lawless for not going Zena on my ass and last but not least Grace (Boomer) Park for wearing the latest in Cylon chic – the new ANTHRAX girlie shirt (available here).
We’ve got even more photos but we were on the Basestar and the
evil corporate CylonsNBC/Universal won’t let us post them yet. Maybe in January. We’ve got some killer video too we may air someday too. Anthrax – more metal than a chrome toaster!So Slam We All –
