BSG’s Michael Hogan and Aaron Douglas on being Cylons

Video Description: Actors Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh) and Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) discuss how they leared their characters were sleeper Cylons, and how it changed their performances. From a press conference at Sci Fi Channel upfronts, March 18, 2008.

Sci Fi Channel 2008 Upfront (Wired.com)

Wired has posted an article and photo from the recent Sci Fi Channel 2008 Upfront event in NYC.

Aaron gets a few mentions in the article ……..

* Aaron Douglas (the Chief) said he made a conscious decision this season to play his character differently when he’s in cylon mode. He’s curious to see if it works on screen.

* Douglas said he hated discovering he was a cylon, especially since he found out by accident three months before he was supposed to. “I was over at ‘someone’s’ house and saw some papers lying around: ‘Oooh outlines for — I gotta go to the bathroom!’ I locked myself in the bathroom and was looking for my material and suddenly, ‘WHAT!?!'” He had to keep the revelation a secret for three months, but he would occasionally go up to Moore and Eick and ask, “So, anything going on with the Chief?”

* When someone from the audience asked Mary McDonnell, who plays President Roslin, if Barack Obama had approached her to be his running mate, she replied that Hillary had. At which point Douglas quipped: “Hillary’s the final cylon.” Badabum!
