3 | Doug Jones (born May 24, 1960 in UsefulNotes/{{Indianapolis}}, Indiana) is an American actor, contortionist, and mime best known for his roles in science fiction, fantasy, and horror as non-human characters that usually require hours worth of makeup being applied to his person, very much like Creator/LonChaney in his day. He has performed in such films and television series as ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'', ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'', ''Film/PansLabyrinth'', and ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer''. He frequently plays in Creator/GuillermoDelToro's films. He currently co-stars in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' as Captain Saru, a HumanoidAlien with a distinctive gait. |

5 | He is a big supporter of -- and is involved in many -- independent films and shorts. Special effects-wise, he is to PracticalEffects monsters what Creator/AndySerkis is to [[SerkisFolk motion-captured]] ones. |
6 | |
7 | He's much beloved by fans for his sweet, funny demeanor and giving of hugs to anyone who will take them. |
8 | |
9 | Incidentally, he is not the same person as Alabama's former junior Senator. He's a busy man, but not ''that'' busy. |

58 | ---- |
59 | !!This actor's work contains examples of: |
60 | |
61 | * ActorInspiredElement: Prone to making elaborate gestures with emphasis on his hands and fingers, frequently enough that sharp-eyed viewers can identify Doug's characters more easily by their body language than the man under the makeup. |
62 | * PeopleInRubberSuits: When it's not a complex make-up, his roles will require a tight creature costume. |
63 | * SameLanguageDub: Notoriously, in his three most high-profile roles he had his voice dubbed - by David Hyde Pierce in ''{{Film/Hellboy|2004}}'', Creator/LaurenceFishburne in ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'', and by the narrator in ''Film/PansLabyrinth''. |
64 | ** He learned to speak his lines as the Faun in Spanish phonetically, but he asked to be dubbed in order to give the character the proper accent. |
65 | * 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. |
