Even if you’ve never seen Doug Jones as Mr. Saru in Star Trek: Discovery, you know who Doug Jones is. Or rather, you’ve seen Doug Jones move, in some TV show or film. From the creature in The Shape of Water, to The Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth, to the Baron in What We Do in the Shadows, Jones has made an impressive career playing Silver Surfers, ghouls, and for the past five seasons of Discovery, a Kelpien, who walks as though he has hooves inside of his platform boots.
