Aaron DouglasEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Aaron Douglas is back for another Triple Banger (if you know, you know). It may not be a very Chief heavy episode, but Aaron gives some great insider commentary on "The Farm" as we spend some time digging into Starbucks dark backstory and get some more (handsome)face time with Michael Trucco's character Sam Anders. I have never watched my performance in Battlestar Galactica.. until now. Listen along for my real, unfiltered first reactions. It's like a DVD commentary, remember those? There will definitely be some behind the scenes stories ;) and if you're a visual person, check...

The Chief himself is on the show! Aaron Douglas joins us on the couch to watch Ep. 4 Resistance. And what an episode as Chief Tyrol and Boomer are reunited for the first time since before Adama was shot. Aaron gives us some incredible insight into filming this episode but also a ton of great stories from the show in general. So stick around to the end! I have never watched my performance in Battlestar Galactica.. until now. Listen along for my real, unfiltered first reactions. It's like a DVD commentary, remember those? There will definitely be some...

Dan is joined by actor, Aaron Douglas, another Battlestar Galactica alumni! Aaron answers a question from Jamie Bamber. We also talk about conventions, finding moments of humour, the initial confusion of the fan response, wanting to be a lawyer in high school, getting into acting late, getting the Battlestar Galactica gig, saying your lines as simply as you can, making it up as you go, compliments, the importance of portraying a military officer, going from job to job, becoming accustomed to rejection, collaboration, settling into what you do well, working with Amanda Tapping, first gig on Stargate, everything happening for a reason, pushing through injuries on set, Murder in a Small Town, a question for Tahmoh Penikett, and a whole lot more!

CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 21 of The iPhreaks Show! This week on our panel, we have Ben Scheirman. BEN: Happy Apple Christmas Day! And hello! CHUCK: Apple Christmas Day… BEN: Yeah! Today is the launch date. We’re going to find out all about in like an hour. CHUCK: Oh, that’s right! BEN: This would be all over the news by the time this sure comes out… ANDREW: It’s the only thing all of us were thinking about. BEN: [Inaudible] CHUCK: [Laughs] ANDREW: I can’t breathe. BEN: That’s right. We’re already on the clock, Chuck. CHUCK: Okay. BEN: [Laughs] CHUCK: We also have Andrew Madsen. ANDREW: Hi from Salt Lake City! CHUCK: Rod Schmidt. ROD: Hello from Salt Lake City as well! CHUCK: Jaim Zuber. JAIM: Hello! I just returned from the north shore of Lake Superior, where I was teaching berries to code iOS. CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. We have a special guest, and that’s Aaron Douglas. AARON: Hey! How’s it going? I’m saying hi from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. CHUCK: Pete would be so proud of me, I didn’t butch your name. AARON: [Laughs] CHUCK: We have you on this week to talk about “Scalable Cloud Apps”. AARON: Yeah, definitely. CHUCK: I asked you before the show, I’m going to ask you again, how does that relate to iOS programming? AARON: I’ve noticed that a lot of us iOS devs come from more of the finite programming that we know – JavaScript and CSS – it’s just this kind of a logical step into iOS app development. I came from a Java enterprise background so I’m very familiar with writing apps that are behind other apps. I noticed that a lot of iOS developers are afraid of integrating their app with a server, and that there’s a lot of apps that have to talk to other users or there’s central data. So I think it’s a really important topic just because apps can be so much more powerful if they are connected with other people. CHUCK: Absolutely. Are you talking about API services like Facebook or Twitter? Or, are you talking about more of the backend systems like Parse? AARON: Yeah, it’s more of the backend systems like Parse.

Full Show Notes Alex talks with Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief on Battlestar Galactica. It starts off as a mutual Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant / Karl Pilkington fan chat (Aaron want to work with them, hint hint), then turns to discussions about the announced BSG TV movie being directed by Edward James Olmos and his roles in The Bridge and Blood: A Butcher's Tale and what it's like to work on a fully green screened set.
