Doug Jones Rules

[Roderick Usher]

Seriously, the guy should have a star on the "Walk of Fame" already. You may not know his face, but you've seen him.

For those of you who don't know who the guy is, Doug Jones is a 6'4" 145 lb wonder of physical acting. Due to his lithe, dancer's body, Doug has been recruited by many a filmmaker to give life to heavy prosthetic make-ups.

He has been in some truly dreadful work: Tank Girl, Warriors of Virtue, Monkeybone, Mystery Men...he even played Mac Tonight - the crescent moon-faced pitchman for McDonalds.

But he really shines as Abe Sapien (Hellboy) both The Faun & The Pale Man (Pan's Labyrinth) and The Silver Surfer (Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer)

An amazing physical talent, Doug deserves more attention than he receives.

jones is my only reason to go see the fantastic four sequel. i love him in pans labyrinth, hellboy and doom

[Roderick Usher]

I met him at the Pan's Labyrinth screening at the ArcLight in Hollywood. He's really cool.

[dabruce16]

thats badass. evidentally he must of been at my college once because on the college radio he did a commerical. it went something like this and it ran around the time doom was coming out. "hi this is doug jones. star of hellboy and the upcoming doom. you are listening to KSDJ."

[jenna26]

Hey, my favorite character in Hellboy.....:D I didn't even realize the actor that played Abe Sapien was the same actor that played the faun and the pale man in Pan's Labyrinth. I have much respect for the man then. And the pale man is creepy as hell.....;)

Oh, yes. I built a mummy suit for him when he was in a TV show called "Bone Chillers," he has so much talent for doing these rubber/suit/creature roles. Very friendly too!

You are so cool! I love that you do make-up effects...I'm jealous:D

Crabby is a cool dude. We have enough talent on this site to put our own movie together. Rod could write the screenplay....Crab does the special effects.....of course I would have to be the LEAD actor......and I demand at least one love scene......with my co-star.....um.......either

[crabapple]

Oooooh! Yeah ;)

Doug is one of those underrated performers who has earned a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. With all the stuff under his belt, he has done some nicely impressive work.

btw newb...why would those girls wanna kiss a 80 yr old, let alone give a love scene?

If they were signed up, first thing they d do is scratch you off the movie, and get someone MUCH younger...say for example...Dante or Posher.;)

Of course, if you are the producer also, THEN maybe it's possible...


:D

[the_real_linda]

Now THIS man makes sense.


Seriously.....we do have talent on this forum. Its pretty cool when some young newcomer can ask some pertinent question concerning "the biz" and we have people on here who have on-hand knowledge.

"HDC........better than your average horror forum."

That's it! I'm burning this joint to the ground!

I was watching a documentary on Pan's Labyrinth and discovered that Doug Jones actually learned Spanish entirely for the purpose of playing his parts in the flick.

Besides the lip movement, however, his efforts went to waste; Guillermo del Toro wasn't happy with the sound of Doug's voice, and later re-dubbed the entire character via a different voice actor.

Superb actor.

Yes. That is damn right! We know all about that movie about the little goblins you saw on TV in 81 or was it 82.

he really is...... i think mimes have to be to convey their emotions and feelings without words..... silver surfer was really good and he was tres sexy in it too

[crabapple]

I think his efforts were probably well used because his learning the language allowed him to adjust his body timing to perform within the "beat" of the film, even if his voice wasn't used...this fellow is a real artist, a person who will go that extra distance to deliver a thoughtful, meditative performance. (Oh! And I also worked on his Tank Girl and Warriors of Virtue Costumes...had a lot of fun on those films too.)

One of my favorite things he did was the memorable zombie in "Hocus Pocus"...very funny.

[the_real_linda]

billy wasnt it in hocus pocus.........yeah when he tells winnie to go to hell and she says something like "ive been there thank u, its lovely"
