Aaron was born in a small room just down the hall from Vancouver called New Westminster. His mother suffered through 90 degree heat for three months before giving birth to Aaron on August 19th and then again on the 23rd, 1971. She would go to the beach to cool off but the members of Greenpeace would come by and roll her back into the water fearing she had beached herself. She was and remains the greatest mother of all time.

His father provides him with wisdom that clearly comes from his 137 years on the planet. From his days as a young child Aaron would tell his mother and father that his wanted to be an actor. As an adult Aaron does not remember this but still tells his mother and father that he wants to be an actor. They argue vehemently, saying that Aaron should take the civil service exam and move into the public sector but when Aaron provides them with free movie tickets they quickly forget their disappointment in Aaron and begin the free popcorn negotiations.

Aaron has a much more intelligent and better looking brother Chris who, unlike Aaron, turned his brain on at some point and went to school to be a real person. Growing up Aaron played hockey and continues to this day to stand on the blue ice and have frozen rubber disks shot at him at great velocity. Unlike fists, guns and small forest creatures Aaron has no apparent fear of these frozen Ding Dongs and is violently protective of his blue ice having been known to shatter an ankle or two of players who venture onto his most holy frozen blue water.

Aaron has participated in various forms of the arts from being in a rock band (TRC) in high school to drama class from elementary school. After graduation (high school, Aaron did not go to college) he spent many years finding out what he did not want to do with his life (salesman, sports nutrition rep., marketing, floor layer, etc.) and eventually ended up in the William Davis Center for Actors Study in Vancouver. There Aaron met Garry Davey, the artistic director of the school at the time, who encouraged Aaron to pursue this craft of acting. Aaron attended the William Davis Center for the full-time program for one year at the end signing with an agent and getting on with his acting career. During the school days Aaron worked at Earl's restaurant on Robson as, you guessed it, a waiter and owes many thanks to Dario Gianna (Big Tuna) the GM for his support in the beginning years.

Thankfully Aaron has now put the serving days behind him and patronizes the restaurant as a customer and nothing else. Currently Aaron is portraying Chief Galen Tyrol in Battlestar Galactica and can be seen in various television and feature films on TV and in the theaters. Aaron would like to thank Russ Mortensen and Lena Lees at Pacific Artists in Vancouver and William Ward Jr., Mickey Barold and David Rudy at Roar Management in Los Angeles. These are the people who take Aarons money with little or no work.

Aaron feels he would be just as well off with a monkey but for some reason the monkey has a hard time dialling the phone and takes too many smoke breaks.

Originally thought to be some bad meat from his fathers cooking, fetus Aaron refused to be washed away by the alka-seltzer and went on to spend ten and a half glorious months in his mother's womb.  It was then that he first felt the warmth of the limelight.  He knew at the ripe young age of negative zero, that he would one day go on and become ...an actor.  It was in this stage, in this womb, that he was the show, he was the center of attention and coincidentally the center of his mother.

Aaron was born in New Westminster on a beautiful summer day in the evening of August 8th and then again on the morning of August 23rd to the amazing woman Arlene Elliott.  Arlene would go on four years later to write the sequel for Aaron, Christopher John.  Christopher, mainly known for his athletic prowess, (known as Chris 'pretty good moves for a big man' Douglas) would taunt his older brother and use his quickness and cat like bounding ability to escape the wrath and flying objects launched by Aaron. After escaping from that infernal Bastille Aaron went on to further glory with such memorable performances of "Toddler slipper wearer", "pre-school toy monitor", "8 year old rides bus by himself", and the unforgettable "The goalie has to pee but there is 7 minutes left in the second."

After leaving the Lower Mainland as a cagey veteran of 10 human years Aaron continued his teacher / parental torture in the 1 1/3 horse town of Creston BC.  There Aaron's acting career really got starting when after burning down a house he stood with matches and gasoline in hand and told the firemen, "It wasn't me."  This tremendous performance was but a preview to his "12 year old caught riding dirt bike on road."  After the RCMP officer made his expected u-turn he came upon a stone faced Aaron pushing his Kawasaki 80 along the side of the road while explaining to the officer that it must have been someone else that he saw as Aaron would never disobey the law nor would he besmirch his good name by lying to the police.  This Golden Globe performance won Aaron his freedom and a stern warning that should he ever see that other boy riding on the road again he was to tell him to stop and report the incident to the police.  Aaron saw that boy many times after that but never turned him in.

In high school Aaron continued his stellar play in the nets playing Ron Hextall and Billy Smith in what was really the first real life reality show that could have been named, "Get out of my crease or I will break your ankle." On stage Aaron wowed the audience with such breakthrough performances as greaser number 2 in the Prince Charles Secondary Schools production of "Grease".  He followed that up with the memorable (to his mom) adaptation of "Oh you were that guy?!?" in The Pajama Game at the same institution. After he moved his parents to Kelowna for his 12th grade year so his father, Michael Douglas, could take a teaching position at the university Aaron did his best to create an atmosphere that would ultimately lead to the quitting of the drama teacher at KLO Secondary School.  His solo performances with the police continued throughout his most senior year and were some of his strongest work.  There was "not my car", "I wasn't driving", "who would burn that in to the field?", "my face feels shiny", and the exceptionally played "She wouldn't have been pregnant if the truck wasn't blue."

After high school Aaron spent several year pretending to be someone else.  He was a floor layer, a video store attendant, a computer software marketer, a sports nutrition marketer and rep.  All of these jobs and the inordinate amount of time that Aaron spent watching television ultimately led him back to his true talent and profession; lying to those around him. So Aaron quit all of his jobs and went to the William B. Davis Center for the one-year full time program and supplemented his student loan by telling customers at Earls on Robson that the food is the best and then bringing it to their tables.  Once again Aarons skills of deception came to the fore.  (Actually Aarons skills were so sharply honed that he still eats at earls very regularly.)

After acting school Aaron wandered into the world and began his life as a full time fooler. When asked to reflect on the path that his career has taken Aaron simply replied, "My cats breath smells like cat food." Cat food indeed Aaron. cat food indeed.

The Galactica's unpretentious deck chief always stands up for the little guy, whether that means safeguarding the welfare of his enlisted crew, fighting for the human resistance on New Caprica or leading a labor action on behalf of exploited workers. With his many commitments, Tyrol has had to struggle to spend quality time with his wife, Cally, and their infant son, Nicholas (the second human-Cylon hybrid). Recently, he has experienced peculiar intuitions and heard enigmatic music in his head. The explanation for these eerie events is simple but shocking: He is one of the Final Five Cylons.
