Sometimes in this world you have to find you niche. And sometimes that niche is having rubber prosthetics glued to your body. Doug Jones has found that niche.
hes so many of my fave boys
Also the single sweetest person I have met in the entire acting profession. Doug wins.
And this is also Doug Jones.
…in Budapest, with my daughter Maddy, long long ago in 2007. From http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2007/07/circus-drums-in-distance.html?m=1
Doug isn’t just a human special effect because he acts well under latex. He inhabits each of his roles, at a level of discomfort and with a lack of sleep that I would find murderous. (Think how early he needs to be in in the morning to have that latex glued on. Think how late filming can go. Doug has rights he sometimes elects not to use, in order to keep a production moving. I’ve seen him asleep propped up in order to keep a movie on schedule.)
And just the gentlest, sweetest person in the business. Today accidentally wound up as Me appreciation day on Twitter. It’s nice to appreciate Doug.
