Biography

Doug Jones (Indianapolis, 24 mei 1960) is een Amerikaans acteur. Dankzij zijn achtergrond als contortionist speelt hij onder meer met regelmaat bovennatuurlijke personages, zoals Abe Sapien in Hellboy en Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Fauno in El laberinto del fauno en Silver Surfer in 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, telkens onherkenbaar onder een dikke laag grime. Wel herkenbaar is hij in onder meer Adaptation., als Augustus Margary.

Jones is bovengemiddeld lenig en kan zijn lichaam in de meest bevreemdende bochten wringen. Dit buitte hij oorspronkelijk uit door op te treden als contortionist, maar zijn lichaamscontrole bleek ook voor de camera nuttig. Dit uitte hij oorspronkelijk in kleine rolletjes, zoals die van een dunne clown in Batman Returns en die van één van de gentlemen in de voor twee Emmy Awards genomineerde aflevering van Buffy the Vampire Slayer genaamd Hush.

Met name regisseur Guillermo del Toro doet vaker beroep op hem. De Mexicaan gebruikte Jones in de door hem geregisseerde films Mimic (als Long John), El espinazo del diablo, Hellboy, Hellboy II en El laberinto del fauno. In het eerste deel van Hellboy was Jones te zien als Abe Sapiens, maar niet te horen. De stem van het personage werd in die film nog ingesproken door David Hyde Pierce.

Biography

The youngest of four brothers, Doug Jones was born on May 24, 1960 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and grew up in the city's Northeastside. After attending Bishop Chatard High School, he headed off to Ball State University, where he graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, with a minor in Theatre.

He learned mime at school, joining a troupe and doing the whole white-face thing, and has also worked as a contortionist.

After a hitch in theater in Indiana, he moved to Los Angeles in 1985, and has not been out of work since - he's acted in over 25 films, many television series (Including the award-winning Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), his episode 'Hush' garnered two Emmy nominations) and over 90 commercials and music videos with the likes of Madonna and Marilyn Manson.

Although known mostly for his work under prosthetics, he has also performed as 'himself' in such highly-rated films as Adaptation. (2002) with Nicolas Cage and indie projects such as Phil Donlon's A Series of Small Things (2005).

But it is his sensitive and elegant performance as 'Abe Sapien' in Hellboy (2004), which stormed to the top of the U.S. box office in the spring of 2004, that has brought him an even higher profile and much praise from audiences and critics alike.

He has been portraying the Kelpien Saru on the show Star Trek: Discovery.
