The actor, known for his ability to transform into countless creatures and characters, will be appearing as himself at the event, giving fans a chance to meet the man behind the makeup.
The Man Of A Thousand Faces
Doug Jones has built an extraordinary career portraying some of cinema’s most memorable monsters, aliens, and fantastical beings. Standing at 6’4″ with a lean frame that allows for remarkable physical performances, Jones has become the go-to performer for directors needing someone who can bring non-human characters to life.
Jones is perhaps best known for his collaborations with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, playing key roles in films like “Hellboy” (as Abe Sapien), “Pan’s Labyrinth” (as the Pale Man and the Faun), and his Academy Award-winning performance in “The Shape of Water” (as the Amphibian Man).
Recent Projects
Jones has remained busy with several recent projects. Earlier this month, he shared images from the wrap of a new film called “Pretty Boys,” directed by Sofi Puchley and written by Matt Edwards. The Instagram post showed Jones posing with cast and crew members, demonstrating his continued dedication to both mainstream and independent productions.
In another recent Instagram post, Jones showcased a series of portrait photos highlighting his versatility as a performer. One post captioned “Doug Jones got moves” featured the actor in a variety of expressive poses, while another playfully referred to him as a “sitcom dad,” showing his range beyond creature roles.
Convention Highlights
For fans planning to attend iMagiCon, Jones promises more than just a quick autograph. Known throughout the industry for his genuine kindness and fan appreciation, he specifically mentions that “huggles are always free” – a reference to his reputation for being one of the most approachable celebrities on the convention circuit.
The convention will feature the standard offerings of autographs and photo opportunities, but Jones will also participate in panel discussions, giving attendees insight into his extensive career and unique approach to character creation.
