Doug Jones is a Actor American born on 24 may 1960 at Indianapolis (USA)
Doug Jones (born May 24, 1960) is an American actor and former contortionist known for roles in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres, often wearing heavy makeup to play nonhuman characters. He has appeared in films such as Hocus Pocus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellboy and its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pan's Labyrinth, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, as well as the TV series Falling Skies.
C'est l'un des acteurs fétiches du réalisateur mexicain Guillermo del Toro qui l'a auditionné à de nombreuses reprises. Doug Jones s'est par exemple vu proposer un rôle dans Bilbo le Hobbit du temps où del Toro était encore chargé du projet (celui de l'elfe Thranduil), rôle donné par la suite à l'acteur Lee Pace.
Jones est un habitué des rôles nécessitant un lourd travail de maquillage ou un costume inconfortable. Il assure ainsi de nombreux rôles importants sans que son visage n'apparaisse à l'écran (le faune du Labyrinthe de Pan, le Surfeur d'Argent ennemi des 4 Fantastiques, Abe Sapien le compagnon de Hellboy, et plus récemment la créature amphibie de La Forme de l'eau,...), ce qui explique qu'il soit peu connu du grand public. Cela lui a aussi permis de tenir plusieurs rôles dans un même film, notamment dans Le Labyrinthe de Pan et dans Hellboy II : Les légions d'or maudites. Il interprète le rôle de « la Gueule », le mauvais génie de Serge Gainsbourg, dans Gainsbourg, vie héroïque.
Vie privée
Il est marié avec Laurie Jones depuis 1984.

The film follows notorious musician Serge Gainsbourg's exploits from his upbringing in Nazi occupied France through his rise to fame and love affairs with Juliette Gréco, Brigitte Bardot and marriage to Jane Birkin to his later experimentation with reggae in Jamaica. It also incorporates multiple elements of fantasy, most significantly with the character called "The Mug", an animated exaggeration of Gainsbourg that acts as his conscience (or anti-conscience) at crucial moments in Gainsbourg's life. The film also includes many of Gainsbourg's more famous songs, which serve as the soundtrack to the film and often serve as plot elements themselves.

The story begins with the Cassini Saturn spacecraft releasing the Huygens Titan probe. We then transition to Earth, where a 12-year-old girl, Jeana (Voiced by Abigail Breslin), places a sun filter over a telescope to view sun spots. She asks her mentor, a Professor "Why is the Sun so bright?" This leads the professor to launch into a scientific explanation about fusion. The little girl laughs, having played this trick on her mentor many times, she says "No I meant bright, bright like happy. In most drawings the sun has a big smile. Is he good, like the man in the moon." Knowing this means she wants a story, the mentor begins to spin a tale, but as a mentor, this one, while entertaining, is also educational.
