Doug Jones

Doug Jones is an American actor best known for his "inhuman" roles in sci-fi, fantasy and horror films. During his acting career, he starred in more than 140 films. Despite such an abundant filmography, the actor is little recognizable. The fact is that almost all of Doug's roles are kilos of makeup and latex.

Doug Jones was born on May 24, 1960 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. He attended Bishop Chetard High School, then entered Ball University, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications and Supporting roles. In his student years, he began his mime career. At the same time, Jones became the University's mascot - Charlie Cardinal. In the image of Charlie, he appeared at sports and cultural events held within the walls of the university.

As Doug Jones himself says, one summer he moonlighted as a mime in a Cincinnati park, where he was engaged in scaring children, and this was extremely amusing to him. Three years after graduation, Doug decided to move to Los Angeles. His work proved to be in great demand in Hollywood. He was immediately showered with offers of filming in commercials and TV shows.

By the way, he also starred in a McDonald's commercial. As always, he appeared in an unusual form. His character, head in the shape of a smiling moon, was sitting at the piano, singing an interpreted song by Bobby Darin, inviting him to visit the restaurant in the evening. The ad turned out to be weird, but for Doug it was a breakthrough.

Doug's debut in the movie was a supporting role in the film Fresh Dead. After that, there was not a single year when the talented actor was left without roles. Doug was involved in several projects simultaneously. Despite the fact that he was always on secondary roles, his images remained in the memory of the viewer for a long time.

Doug Jones starred in the popular youth TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The actor appeared in the role of the Gentleman - a mysterious monster who kidnapped the voices of the city's inhabitants. The episode with his participation won two Emmy awards.

In 2002, Doug starred in Men in Black II, where he reincarnated as the alien Joey. In the same year, he played the role of a man after several million years of evolution in the film "Time Machine", of course, this creature did not resemble a real man. Therefore, Doug Jones soon became a "masked man".

Soon the actor began to invite popular musicians to their clips. He has worked with Madonna, Marilyn Manson, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The main popularity of the actor was brought by his work with director Guillermo del Toro. In 2004, he landed a role in Hellboy: A Hero from Inferno. In the film, Doug played Abe Sapien, a supernatural creature with superhuman powers. The movie was a great success with the public.

The actor appeared in all subsequent parts of "Hellboy". In 2009, he was named Best Supporting Actor and received the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards for his role as Abe Sapien. In the same year, the actor was inducted into the Fangoria Horror Hall of Fame. He later voiced his character in the cartoon and the game.

In 2005, he again began to collaborate with Guillermo del Toro. The actor appeared in the guise of a Pan in the horror film Pan's Labyrinth. And this picture brought a new wave of popularity to Doug Jones. Pan's Labyrinth won three Oscars: Best Cinematography, Best Decoration and Best Makeup.

By the way, in the same picture, Doug also appeared in another role - the Pale Man - a terrible creature with eyes in the palms of his hands, which eats children. As before, Doug had to be on the set in a heavy suit, prostheses and pounds of makeup. On top of that, the actor had to learn long dialogues in Spanish.

This was not his last work with Guillermo del Toro, the director was delighted with Doug's acting talent. So when Guillermo started filming The Strain, he immediately invited Jones to join the team.

In 2007, the actor appeared as the Silver Surfer in the film adaptation of the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. With a height of 192 cm and a slender build, his movements are distinguished by their plasticity and grace, even under layers of makeup. In his true form, Doug did not have to play often. Without "heavy" makeup, he starred in the films "Adaptation", "Mystery People", "Batman Returns".

In 1984, Doug Jones married Laurie Jones. The family lives in California.

The actor runs Instagram, where he uploads shots from the filming of new paintings, as well as home photos.

The actor continues to receive more and more new proposals for filming. In 2017, three films were released with the participation of Doug Jones. He starred in the American horror film ByByMan, where Doug got the lead role. Also on the screens out the science fiction television series "Star Trek: Discovery".

And again in 2017, the actor was lucky enough to work with Guillermo del Toro. The premiere of "The Shape of Water" took place on 31 August 2017 at the 74th Venice Film Festival. Jones played an amphibious monster in the film, again donning gorgeous makeup. The film has earned high marks from film critics and reviewers.

The actor's shooting is scheduled for several years in advance. There is information that Doug Jones will appear in the films "Nosferatu", "Gehenna: Where Death Lives", "School of Monsters".

In turn, Guillermo del Toro announced that he plans to shoot a new version of Frankenstein, and has already hurried to invite Doug Jones to this picture. The actor, of course, agreed to such a tempting offer. But the release date of the movie is still in question.
