Doug Jones
SAG/AFTRA
While famous for working under prosthetics in iconic feature film roles, Doug Jones is also a versatile character actor who has performed as "himself" in guest star roles on shows like "Criminal Minds," "C.S.I." and NBC's horror anthology "Fear Itself." A veteran of over 100 commercials, Doug was Mac Tonight, the moon-headed piano player in the long-running 1990's McDonald's campaign. He also starred as the lead villain in "Hush," an Emmy-winning episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," long considered a fan favorite.
In 2005, he played the title role of Pan (as well as the nightmare character, The Pale Man) in Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Spanish language fantasy/horror feature "Pan's Labyrinth." But it was his sensitive and elegant performance as Abe Sapien in del Toro's 2004 box office hit "Hellboy" that brought Doug's unique work to a wider audience. He went on to voice that same character for the Emmy-nominated Cartoon Network animations "Hellboy: Sword of Storms" and "Hellboy: Blood and Iron." In 2007, Doug's title role performance in "Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer" was hailed by fans and critics alike. 2008 saw Doug reprise his starring role (as well as two other characters) in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," once more under the direction of del Toro. He recently completed production on a stylized biopic of the famous French poet/singer/composer Serge Gainsbourg called "A Heroic Life," in which he plays Gainsbourg's dark alter ego.
