That is, provided Doug Jones is saying what it sounds like in a recent interview with Collider, in which he commented on what’s going on with Saru in T’Rina in Season 5 in broad strokes:Ĭhange is always afoot, for the story and for the characters, individually, and Saru is included in that. The Silent Bob: Has a background in miming and often plays characters who don't ( or can't) say a word, and expresses reams of dialogue simply by body language.For anyone worried that Saru’s budding romance with Ni’Var President T’Rina would fizzle and fade before the beginning of Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, worry no longer.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.Same Language Dub: Notoriously, in his three most high-profile roles he had his voice dubbed - by David Hyde Pierce in Hellboy, Laurence Fishburne in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and by the narrator in Pan's Labyrinth.People in Rubber Suits: When it's not a complex make-up, his roles will require a tight creature costume.Actor-Inspired Element: 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.Hellboy: The Science of Evil as Abe Sapien.Fallout: Nuka Break as Mayor Touch Connors.DuckTales (2017) as Wereduck and Demonic Clown.What We Do in the Shadows (2019) as Baron Afanas.Arrow/ The Flash as Jake Simmons/Deathbolt.The Outer Limits (1995) in various alien guest roles.Face/Off as himself (guest judge and mentor).Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the Gentleman.The Shape of Water as The Asset/Amphibian Man.The Bye Bye Man as the titular character.Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story as the Operator.Crimson Peak as various ghosts (specifically, Edith's mother and Thomas and Lucille's mother).My Name Is Jerry as the titular character.Pan's Labyrinth as the Faun and the Pale Man.Lady in the Water, as one of the Tartutic.Hellboy: Blood & Iron as Abe Sapien (voice only).Hellboy: Sword of Storms as Abe Sapien (voice only).Hellboy II: The Golden Army as Abe Sapien (physical and voice) and the Angel of Death.Hellboy as Abe Sapien (physical performance only, David Hyde Pierce provides Abe's voice).Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer as the Silver Surfer. ![]() ![]() McDonald's commercials as Mac Tonight (one of his earliest roles).Incidentally, he is not the same person as Alabama's former junior Senator. He's much beloved by fans for his sweet, funny demeanor and giving of hugs to anyone who will take them.

He has performed in such films and television series as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pan's Labyrinth, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
