About Guest
Doug Jones is perhaps one of the most brilliant actors of our time. Some say he is this generations “Boris Karloff”! Doug’s illustrious career spans 30+ years in television and on film! Currently Doug can be seen as Captain Saru on the CBS series Star Trek Discovery (perhaps one of the best “Trek” series to hit airways)! He also stars as the infamous Count Orlok in the 2023 art re-make of the classic film Nosferatu.
Fans will long remember Doug for his work as The Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer. He’s also breathed the life and soul into Abe Sapien in Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. In the Oscar winning film he wants to be remembered for, Doug portrays 2 characters, that of both Pan and The Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth. Little trivia fact: He learned all his lines for the film in Spanish while comparing it to a special script prepared for him in English!
Another fan favorite is the Halloween cult classic, Hocus Pocus, in which Doug plays a goofy zombie (ex-boyfriend of Bette Midler’s character) Billy Butcherson, a role he reprised for Hocus Pocus II. And his earliest comic book movie appearance was alongside Danny De Vito as a circus clown henchman in Batman Returns.
Doug teamed up again with director Guillermo del Toro to bring an original story to life in the Oscar winning film The Shape of Water. Doug moves seamlessly from film to TV. He can currently be seen in What We Do In The Shadows! Previous notable television work includes Falling Skies, Teen wold, Fear Itself, The Neighbours, and the lead Gentleman on the Emmy-nominated “Hush” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
Currently in production is a feature length documentary film all about Doug’s life! The film will cover his early beginnings, his struggles in Hollywood, his rise to the most sought after creature actor, and his continued place in the history of Hollywood! The film is being produced by Coolwaters Productions LLC & Hellcat Productions. The film is being executive produced by Derek Maki and directed by William Conlin who directed the documentary Making Apes: The Artists Who Changed Film.
