While San Diego Comic-Con gets most of the national and even international attention, southern nerds tend to flock to an entirely different fan convention: Dragon Con, a five-day, non-stop nerd celebration. Sure, it’s filled with the usual shenanigans like panels and trading rooms, but it all has the drunken, giddy sway of an endless party. So much so, in fact Battlestar Galactica reboot icons Edward James Olmos and Aaron Douglas felt inspired to tell a room full of fans how the latter actor accidentally exposed his penis to sound in a particularly lewd butt.
this Battlestar Galactica The story of the gag started with a basic explanation of how the actors had to have microphones attached to their costumes so their dialogue could be heard. Usually the wire was routed through part of the actor’s clothing and connected to the power supply in a discreet location. For example, on the actor’s boots for a scene where the boots will not be visible. None of this would be a problem for the poor sound engineer if Douglas didn’t have a ridiculous penchant for going commando on set.

Douglas began his part of the story by saying that a popular fan question he gets at conventions is whether he wears boxers or briefs, to which he happily replies “neither.” However, this surprising admission quickly became relevant as the actor described the delay Battlestar Galactica recruitment; he appeared on the hangar deck in his familiar orange jumpsuit, setting the stage for an unintentionally hilarious gag. He ran the sound cord up his leg and Graham – a particularly tall sound guy – was kneeling on the ground preparing to attach the power supply to the actor’s boots.
It was all business as usual for all the cast and crew, and Douglas continued to talk to various people while his microphone was connected. For reasons he never fully explained, the actor suddenly decided to strike a Superman pose, causing his jumpsuit to slip. It would be embarrassing for most actors, but because it is Battlestar Galactica The actor hated to wear underwear, he exposed his entire naked body, creating a ruckus too racy to ever share with fans.

Incredibly, Douglas didn’t realize something was wrong until he felt his penis come into contact with what he described as a “bonk.” He belatedly had a very disturbing thought, “it shouldn’t have hit anything…it shouldn’t have hit anything warm and flesh-like.” As the rest of the cast and crew began to focus on what had happened, Douglas looked down to see poor sound guy Graham looking horrified by both his proximity to the actor’s penis and his recent contact with it.
On Battlestar Galactica it was an amazing moment that could have been quite traumatic for everyone involved. Fortunately, the former Show Commander offered the perfect spot to instantly relieve the tension in the room. To Douglas’s amusement and dismay, Edward James Olmos summed up what happened in the funniest way: “Aaron just cold-cocked the sound guy!”
During the Dragon Con panel, hearing his crucial line retold by Douglas (complete with a funny imitation of an older man’s raspy voice) made Olmos giggle, and he couldn’t resist holding his fingers just inches apart to show that another actor…um…Viper wasn’t that great. Instead of being offended, Douglas immediately joked Seinfeld: “I was in the pool!” From start to finish, this story showcases an amazingly funny chemistry between Battlestar Galactica the cast, though, is one blip, so gross that even the Lords of Kobold will never reveal it to you.
