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.

It is against wiki rules to apply tropes to real people, and tropes affiliated with a specific work should go on that work's page, not this actor page.


!!This Actor contains examples of:

* BaldOfAwesome: Started shaving his head in 2016 to play [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Commander Saru]], noting that not having hair was much more convenient for when he was constantly having to have prosthetic makeup removed and reapplied.
* BornLucky: He's the only person who attended the notoriously problematic [[TroubledProduction/{{Other}} DashCon]] and ''didn't'' suffer payment, hotel, or panel issues.
* CreepyLongFingers: Well, they are when he's playing a villain and every gesture exudes menace; in real life they are very graceful, and watching every gesture he makes with them is like watching a sort of dance.
* CuddleBug: He's more than willing to give hugs to anyone who will take one, and fans are known to say that they are heavenly.
* DoingItForTheArt: His acting in independent films. If he likes the idea, he's got the free time, and he's had a role recently that pays the bills, he's more than delighted to act in independent films and web series.
* FauxFluency: Subverted. Instead of learning the archaic form of Spanish phonetically, he ''actually'' learned it for his role as the Faun in ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' so he knew the appropriate places to pause, etc., though the voice heard in the finished film is done by a native speaker.
* GentleGiant: He's 6'3, but is possibly one of the nicest actors to meet in person.
* NiceGuy: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
* NoodlePeople: Quite tall and extremely thin, which he says makes him every prosthetic makers dream because they can pretty much do whatever they like with the design because he has such a thin frame.
* OlderThanTheyLook: His beanpole frame and skeletal, gaunt facial features might blur the issue a little, but he certainly doesn't look ''59'' in that picture up there.
* PromotedFanboy:
** Has been a fan of the Silver Surfer since he was a kid.
** He was a BigNameFan of ''WebSeries/MarbleHornets'' before he got a part in the movie based off of it. As the Operator.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Despite playing various monsters, he's actually a real-life Christian.

** 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.
* SerkisFolk: As the Silver Surfer. This was a last-minute addition, as Doug actually did the part as a perfectly good ''practical'' Silver Surfer, but the studio wanted to advertise the character as a CGI creation. When the Surfer gets {{Depower}}ed, there's no CGI, just Doug.
* TheSilentBob: Has a background in miming and often plays characters who don't ([[TheVoiceless or can't]]) say a word, and expresses reams of dialogue simply by body language. For a particularly fine example, see his stellar work as the leader of The Gentlemen in the entirely silent Buffy episode [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush Hush]]. A head tilt and flick of the hand is all a master needs to have you checking your closet for days.
* StarMakingRole: [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6gLPmHUAAAwHek.jpg Mac Tonight]], the moon-headed mascot of the UsefulNotes/McDonalds "late night" commercials. He quickly gained notoriety around Hollywood for the fact that he bore the character's giant head without a word of complaint.
