The great DOUG JONES sits for an interview to talk about his amazing creature characters, Guillermo Del Toro, Star Trek: Discovery, and his new film Operation Taco Gary's!
Doug Jones is a versatile American actor, contortionist, and mime artist, widely regarded as one of Hollywood's most prolific performers in the realm of creature acting. Known for his exceptional ability to convey emotion through heavy prosthetics and elaborate costumes, he has brought some of cinema's most iconic non-human characters to life.
His newest film, OPERATION TACO GARY's is a science fiction action-comedy film directed and written by Michael Kvamme in his feature directorial debut. The story follows two brothers on a cross-country road trip who stumble upon a global conspiracy involving an unassuming fast-food chain called Taco Gary's.
Operation Taco Gary's stars Simon Rex as Danny: The "off-the-grid" conspiracy theorist brother, Dustin Milligan as Luke: The skeptical, pragmatic brother dragged into the journey, Brenda Song as Allison, Tony Cavalero as Kyle (sometimes credited as Klyle), Arturo Castro as Tiago, Jason Biggs appearing as himself, and Doug Jones as Elder: Playing a leader of the alien race.
During the #interview, Jones dives into what he thought of del Toro's Frankenstein, why he's making the transition into more traditional (and less prosthetic heavy) type acting, and the partnership he's had with some amazing directors.
