The most famous actor in the world is a man no one really recognizes

There is a great actor who has appeared in an incredible number of films and you probably never knew it.

This is because you wouldn’t be able to tell that it’s the same actor unless you have x-ray vision.

He has appeared in over 150 films over the past 30 years and is popular with special effects teams across Hollywood thanks to his distinctive look.

If you still don’t know who it is, let’s explore his roles.

He has worked with George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker and Meryl Streep.

He has worked with the best directors in the film scene and, on top of that, gets tough roles.

You definitely don’t understand who it is yet.

His face is a mystery, as he is usually covered in prosthetics, costumes, and a lot of makeup for his roles. Because of his slim build, the effects teams can make him look bulky and stocky at any time.

He played poor zombie Billy Butcherson in Hocus Pocus and teamed up with director Guillermo del Toro to play Abe Sapien in Hellboy and the Faun AND the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth.

He has appeared in 150 productions. Disney

Social media users were stunned when they realized who he was and were quick to comment on their surprise.

One person wrote on X: “I saw the movie but didn’t know he was that monster.”

Another wrote: “I didn’t know he was in Batman Returns!?!”

Someone else commented: “There are a few roles I didn’t even know he played. Now I feel kind of stupid. Thanks!”

One person said he was “literally every scary character you can imagine. He was in some movie and then I saw Hellboy and had no idea until the credits rolled.”

Okay, this is Doug Jones.

Jones has been taking the Hollywood scene by storm for years, starring in award-winning films that have earned three Oscars for Best Makeup and Heavenly Costumes (Pan’s Labyrinth).

But even though he hides behind heavy makeup, he is a dedicated actor who loves his craft.

He reportedly not only prepares his lines and gestures, but also studies the characters in more detail to be able to convey emotions without saying a single word.

Although many celebrities like to show off their faces and get recognition for their work, Jones prefers to remain unknown and let his work speak for itself.

In an interview with BuzzFeed, Jones said: “I was hired because I’m a tall, skinny guy – with other talents, I hope.

“But the creature effects guys like to start with a narrow, long palette because they can build on it without it becoming too bulky.”

Del Toro also praised Jones’ work to Buzzfeed: “A creature actor has to be a very strange mix of marathon runner and mime, able to express himself through many layers of latex, acrylic and silicone.

“It’s a very, very rare discipline… (and) there are very, very few real actors, in my opinion, who go beyond the ability to work in a suit or with makeup.

“Doug is a real actor.”
