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,
as his
shadow spells out, One Of The Biggest Movie Stars You’ve Probably Never Seen,
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!
