How Do You Measure An Actors Success?

by the length of time his/her career spans?


  or perhaps the number of films that they have been in?

maybe how many times their fans recognise the actor in the street,

so here goes, this actor has worked for the past 30 years,

and has been seen in over 150 movies,

and here he is in makeup and costume from his upcoming film Nosferatu,



and here he is, Doug Jones at 6 feet 3 inches tall and 140 pounds, is the go-to guy when it comes to wearing latex suits to play monsters, Jones hasn't shown his face, or any other part of his body in any of the films he has been in, with the aid of elaborate latex and silicone masks, intricate costumes, and painstaking makeup, the 57-year-old has largely spent his career bringing to life a menagerie of aliens, demons, beasts, angels of death, and moon-headed fast-food pitchmen, Jones is in high demand thanks to a distinctly idiosyncratic set of skills. "A creature performer needs to be a very odd combination of marathon runner and a mime, who can express himself through layers and layers of latex and acrylic and silicon," said del Toro, who has worked with Jones on six of his feature films. "It's a very, very rare discipline … [and] there are very, very few that are actual actors, in my opinion, that go beyond being able to work in a suit or under makeup. Doug is a proper actor. When you need that level of finesse, Doug is the only one I've met that I trust with that level of commitment and craftsmanship and artistry." what an amazing feat, to have appeared in so many films and not be hounded by fans!
