Here are some photos of Aaron in the recording studio for the new THE TOWN PANTS album.



(1). "Gang vocals for the new CD with Aaron Douglas, Dave Keogh and Duane Keogh."
(2). "Recording with @theaarondouglas on back-up/gang vocals. He's sporting the #magicrecordingsweater"
(3). "It's gang vocal day here at Imagined Aire studios... - with Dave Keogh, Aaron Chapman, Duane Keogh and Aaron Douglas."
(4). "Warming up — with Aaron Douglas, Dave Keogh and Mo Sherwood."
(5). "Aaron Douglas kicking out the jams. You may recognize him as "Chief Tyrol" from Battlestar Galactica or perhaps "Frank Leo" from The Bridge...either way, he sexes up The Magic Recording Sweater..."


FYI: "The Magic Recording Sweater" (the white sweater with the hearts on it) is just a fun thing the band members and guest musicians/singers took turns wearing during the recording of the album. Check out THIS album for more photos of people wearing it.


More proof on how awesome THE TOWN PANTS are, here are some screen caps of their appearance on URBAN RUSH in March 2006. They held up a sign that read "Aaron Douglas is a Cylon!". They guessed it before anyone knew (even Ron Moore and the writers) :)





UPDATE (May 25th): Below is a video montage from the recording of the new THE TOWN PANTS album. Aaron can be seen at time stamp 1:21 - 1:23 and 1:39 - 1:55.

 
 
Aaron is on WIRED's "100 Geeks You Should Be Following on Twitter" list.
What? Aaron is a geek?!?!? I'm going to have to unfriend him :)

I found a photo of Aaron in the GALLERY section of the DEATH DO US PART website. Aaron has a cameo in the film playing the character Harry.

In THIS audio interview that SCI-FI TALK did with Director Nicholas Humphries, he is asked what the shooting schedule was like. In part of his response he says "We had another day just in North Vancouver in a Ranger's Station, that opens and closes the movie". So judging from Aaron's clothing I'm assuming this is where his scenes will be in the movie.



For those that missed it, here is the trailer for the movie.

 
 
Below is an interview that Aaron did with the GayCalgary and Edmonton Magazine at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo last month.

Aaron Douglas - Seriously a Funny Guy
By: Evan Kayne
Date: May 2012

Forced to wear an L.A. Kings jersey due to the loss of a bet with Wil Wheaton, Aaron Douglas - best known for his role as Galen Tyrol on Battlestar Galactica and Frank Leo on The Bridge - was in attendance at this year's Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

Aaron should get a job as the poster boy for our ideal straight man. He's easy on the eyes, funny, relaxed around gay guys, and a bit of a goof (but in a funny, good way). While he hasn't found any big gigs at the moment, he's still keeping busy renovating his house and doing a videogame for Ubisoft in Montreal which he says
"I'm very excited about – but that's ALL I'm allowed to say."

Like many actors, he's hoping to hear back on possible jobs; as well he's developing his own projects. "I'm waiting to hear on a few things, and if I get ‘em, it'll be awesome. I'm doing a lot of writing – I've been pitching some shows and movies that I've written, and they're starting to get a lot of traction. It's a here's hoping right now." As he puts it, he's in a nebulous zone where everything could either come crashing down, or fall exactly into place.

He is not worried that he might be pigeonholed as a genre actor.
"Work is work is work…people in L.A. don't really look at Battlestar as a sci-fi genre and you as a sci-fi actor. They loved it for the drama that it was and the great show it was. They just see you as a good actor that's pretty versatile. The only thing they don't see me as is funny....I have a hard time getting into auditions for sit-coms and things like that...hopefully I'll break through that door because that's something I'd really like to do."

Being at conventions, I asked him if he gets star-struck meeting some of the other talent. "I don't really go fan girl on celebrities. I fan girl on hockey players...mostly goalies," he said. He does appreciate meeting some of the other actors and artists, but not without some reservations. "It's really nice to meet some of the people, and people that I really, really admire and appreciate. The problem with it is, sometimes somebody who is an actor or a celebrity that you really admire and you love their work, you meet them and they're a douchebag."

This usually destroys any joy you might have had in the actor's body of work, so Aaron usually inquires beforehand about the actor's attitude, and makes sure he himself tries to stay humble and easygoing.

That easy going attitude comes naturally to him in Calgary, as he, like Erin Gray, loves the city.
"There's something about people that are from the prairies. They're just so much more real. There's no pretence, there's no bullshit, there's none of that stuff." This is in comparison to the behaviour on the coast – which he describes as a "weird, guarded, clique-y thing."

Hopefully, Aaron continues to spread the news about Calgary and hopefully he discovers he has fans in high places who decide "yes, let's give this guy a go on a sit-com."

Here is some more video of the BSG panel (Aaron, Richard Hatch and Katee Sackhoff) from the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo (April 29, 2012).

It's worth watching these videos just for the things coming out of Richard Hatch's mouth. In the first video Richard talks about his "sex dream" about Katee and in the 2nd video at the start .... I don't even want to know. LOL.



 
 
Below are a some videos from the BSG panel (Aaron, Richard Hatch and Katee Sackhoff) at Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo.

This is the first 6 minutes of the panel...




In this video Aaron tells the story of bringing his son Taylor on the set of BSG. Yes, it's the same story we've all heard 100 times before :)




This video is the same as the one above but there is an additional question about the BSG episode (2x19: Lay Down Your Burdens - Part 1) where the Chief attacks Cally.

 
 
Below is a video of Aaron's question to Wil Wheaton during the TNG guest panel at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo 2012




This video has all of Aaron's question (which was cut off at the start in the video above). Aaron's question to Wil starts at the 01:27 time stamp. In this video you can only hear (not see) Aaron.




Here's another version of it...




And here's another version. But (as per the comments by the uploader) the quality is poor because it was recorded on a cell phone.

 
 
Below is a video of red carpet interviews from the Canadian Video Game Awards. This one is not country locked so everyone can watch it.

Aaron is on screen at 00:39 - 00:52

Below is the trailer for the movie Death Do Us Part that Aaron has a cameo in.

Aaron is on screen at the 00:07 - 00:09 time stamp.
It's the same scene we've scene before HERE and HERE.





 
 
Here are a couple of videos of Aaron from Fan Expo Vancouver and the Canadian Video Game Awards.

Unfortunately if you are outside of CANADA you can't watch them :( I purchased one of those one month subscriptions to hide your IP address. So I could watch it but when I tried to download it I got a copyright notification and it wouldn't let me download it. But leave it with me, I'll work out some way to do it, even if I have to take a video with my cell phone of the screen :)


As Seen on InnerSPACE: Death Do Us Part
Spring is upon us and so is wedding season! But if you're not quite ready to commit to marriage, we suggest at least committing to seeing the new horror film "Death Do Us Part"! We met up with some of the cast and crew at Vancouver Fan Expo where they gushed about the genre names attached to the project - and gave us a warning about the dangers of throwing a joint stag party!
http://www.spacecast.com/article/As-Seen-on-InnerSPACE-Death-Do-Us-Part

Aaron is on screen at 0:05 - 0:11 (snippet of a scene from the movie) and at 0:41 - 0:45 (same scene).

Aaron is on screen at 01:05. Blink-and-miss-it.

Below is a photo of Aaron at Fan Expo Vancouver 2012 on Saturday. Ignoring the ghastly red linen jacket, I think he looks really great.

Below is a video interview that Peter Nowak did with Aaron on Saturday at FAN EXPO VANCOUVER.



Video description: First up, here's Aaron Douglas, who played Chief Galen Tyrol on BSG. If you've seen the show, you know he ended up playing a pivotal role as one of the "Final Five" Cylons (as he said when presenting later that night at the awards, it's not a spoiler because if you haven't seen the show yet, then you never frakking will). I enjoyed speaking with Douglas - even though we only had a few minutes, he had some smart things to say and came off as quite down to earth

P.S. I love that Aaron is wearing the tshirt that our very own [info]madelineanne designed and sent to him for his 40th birthday last year.

I love the hair and the facial hair but here's hoping this is not the beginning of the grizzly adams look.

Below is the UPDATE on Aaron's appearance at the con. Some things that are in the schedule are incorrect.


GUEST PANEL
Aaron will be part of the DEATH DO US PART panel on Saturday at 12 noon in room 109 (located on the ground level).


PHOTO OPS
The schedule has Aaron listed as doing Photo Ops with Michael Hogan at 2:30pm on Saturday and at 12noon on Sunday. Michael Hogan has CANCELLED his appearance at the con. We are assuming that Aaron will be doing a solo photo session at these same times. But double check this when you get to the con. (UPDATE: Just had it confirmed that Aaron will be doing photos at those same times).


AUTOGRAPHS
Aaron will be signing at booth #235 along with the cast and crew from DEATH DO US PART. The schedule has him listed as being in the ELECTRIC PLAYGROUND booth (#336), this is incorrect.

The below is a screen cap from the Fan Expo website. It reads that signing is at 1pm. But they will be in the booth from 10am.

Aaron will be doing Photo Ops with Michael Hogan at 2:30pm on Saturday and at 12noon on Sunday. Looks like the combo photo will be on Sunday and individual photos on Saturday. Although they are both scheduled for the same times on both days so maybe you can have a single or combo on either day (????)




Aaron will be signing in booth 336. The DEATH DO US PART cast and crew will be right across from him in booth 235.

I'm sorry Aaron but you need to be teased about this :)


"Who is that?"

Ummmmm, that would be Nicki Clyne, the actress that played your wife on BSG!!!!!

For those of you that missed Aaron's episode of THE FIRM (1x12: Chapter Twelve), it is now available to watch online. If you live outside of the USA/Canada, use Hotspot Shield (hotspotshield.com) and then watch it using the USA/NBC link. Don't worry, it's safe. I live in OZ and use Hotspot Shield all the time to watch videos that are region locked to people outside the USA :)

P.S. I know that there are websites out there that will let you watch tv shows online. Please don't post links to them. Only the Official links on here please.
