He’s got 160 credits on IMDB.
You’ve got to imagine that a major part of what first attracts actors to their trade is the fame and attention that comes with it.
But if I was to drop Doug Jones into a conversation, a man responsible for playing lead roles in some of the biggest films of the last 20 years, you’d probably shrug your shoulders, shake your head and then hop onto Google to find out what the hell I was on about.
There you’d find that Doug is not a recognisable name because he’s spent most of his career buried under prosthetics – in fact, you may have assumed he was a CGI character rather than a living breathing human being.
The man stands at 6ft 3, but weighs just 10 stone, with his lank, spindly body perfect for use in fantastical films.
He has 160 credits listed on his IMDb profile, making him one of Hollywood’s most prolific actors.
He has famously collaborated with Guillermo del Toro, starring in Mimic, as the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth, and the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water. He also portrayed the Silver Surfer in the superhero film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
