You have to feel sorry for Doug Jones in a way.

He's appeared in some of the most famous films of all time and has undoubtedly become a very rich man. but only a small number of people actually know what he looks like.

That's because Jones is a master of disguise, often playing characters with the assistance of heavy make-up or computer effects. Outside of the horror canon, he's been in Batman Returns, Men in Black II, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

But come on, we know you're all here for the monsters.

Abe Sapien in the Hellboy films, the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water, The Faun in Pan's Labyrinth. And he was also that weird pale monster with the eyes in its hands! That dude rules!

Essentially, if Guillermo del Toro needs someone to play a weird-looking creature, he gives Doug Jones a ring. That sounds like he's being horrible to him, but Doug must enjoy it on some level.

Jones has used his incredible abilities as a physical performer to bring to life some of cinema's most striking figures. Surely he deserves a little recognition for that.
