Doug Jones

Doug Jones is perhaps one of the most brilliant actors of our time. Some say he is this generation’s Boris Karloff!

Doug’s illustrious career spans 30-plus years in television and on film.

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 two characters, 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.

He realized a life-long dream come true when he stared as the infamous Count Orlok in the art re-make of the classic film “Nosferatu.” 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 in “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 spent five seasons as Saru on the Paramount Plus series “Star Trek: Discovery,” perhaps one of the best “Trek” series to hit airways. His comedic talent shined through his performance as Baron Afanas in the smash vampire hit, “What We Do in the Shadows.”

Previous notable television work includes “Falling Skies,” “Teen Wolf,” “Fear Itself,” “The Neighbors” 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 and 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”.
