* LoopingLines: Notoriously, in his three most high-profile roles he had his voice dubbed - by David Hyde Pierce in ''{{Film/Hellboy}}'', Creator/LaurenceFishburne in ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'', and by the narrator in ''Film/PansLabyrinth''. Due to support from his fans and co-stars, he was allowed to avert the trope in the second ''Hellboy'', and would have done so in the Silver Surfer's solo film if that movie had ever been made. He now has contractual protection against this type of treatment.
** Notably, David Hyde Pierce refused to do press junkets or even be credited for doing Abe Sapien's voice in Hellboy solely out of respect for Doug. He even allegedly exclaimed, "What am I doing here?" when he saw the amount of work Doug had already put into the role.
