According to Mark Zechiel, programming manager, "Doug is a great addition to the team. He was in very high demand and I literally had to kill another manager to get him. His contribution will allow us to easily achieve our project goals. And, as a well-known world champion kayaker, he brings with him that undeniable celebrity buzz that most projects can only dream about."

Doug, whose whereabouts remain a mystery, recently had this to say in a rare telephone interview with Larry King. "After dominating the world of figure skating for so long," he says, "I thought it was time to take on other, more diverse challenges. Working on Quest For Glory V: Dragon Fire allows me many new and exciting avenues of creativity while also leaving time for my busy acting career."
