Doug Jones | Ep. 24

[@dee_mcgee11]

As someone who's been the recipient of a patented Doug-hug, I can absolutely confirm every word of that introduction.

[@withershin]

I met Doug on the boardwalk in East Toronto. I played it cool. Doug is Top shelf. He had no idea what a trek nerd I was. Classy.

[@Allie-w1l]

Haha! I'm sure he sensed it.

[@avaDesdemona]

He keeps saying "30 some years into my career" and I kept thinking he must have been a very young child actor... I just googled him. He's 64! I'm nearly 50 and I would have guessed him to be a fair bit younger than me. Amazing. Aside from my amazement at how young he looks, his performances all were amazing.

[@akamaikiwi]

And absolute sweetheart of a guy, i really hope he has the time to do more conventions, i think he had the longest line at a recent nj con

[@alessandracarneirodemoura7789]

I had the pleasure of meeting and cooking for Doug Jones and Connor Trinneer on their visits to Brazil. We hope you come back and bring friends. The Brazilian trekkers loved you both, very approachable and caring with the whole team!!! Greetings from Brazil.

[@MuzzyBarker]

Saru and his Fosse walk are everything.

[@carolwatkins8541]

I love Doug He just exudes sweetness; kindness and humility

[@HSWilliams]

He was definitely the highlight of discovery.

[@mafnoor]

Doug Jones is phenomenal-- AMAZING actor and super nice human being! Thanks @The D-Con Chamber !

[@TheRealSnowCat]

Doug was an absolutely amazing guest! Thanks to the entire D-Con Chamber cast and crew for another fantastic show!

[@jeremyhunter1459]

Doug Jones!!! He's not a chameleon, he's an absolute epic phenomenon. Doug Jones, Robert Picardo, Christopher Heyerdahl are in a special exclusive club. Not just character actors but who can put on the happy sad mask and disappear. Just amazing!

[@rachelnesser9223]

Thank you to Dominic and Connor for this wonderful D-Con Chamber episode with the insanely talented Doug Jones! I've been fortunate to have met Doug in person at multiple conventions, and he's such a kind, genuine human being -- the nicest guy ever! I always enjoy hearing him talk about his incredible life and career. Saru is one of my favorite roles that he's played, and also one of my favorite characters in all of Star Trek.😀👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🖖🏻💝

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

This was an absolute joy to watch. Connor and Dom, you gave Doug the honour he deserved and your chat was wonderful. Much respect 🙏- Kenny

[@WW-wf8tu]

The segment about the voice over really resonated with me this time. I met David Prowse whom was the original Darth Vader. And I asked him, why did you take that role? He had the opportunity to play Chewbacca. He said "I wanted a part where I could perform a verbal character as well as the physical part of it". I told him how unfortunate of a choice that was, as it was obvious it was James Earl Jones that everyone is going to think was under that helmet. (I was a kid when I said that) Reflecting back, I feel bad that I said that to him. Because it is obvious the voice over for all that it is, is sort of an insult to an actor that auditions for a part and or gets to choose a part based on the full range of being able to BE that character, and then stripped of the vocal aspect of it. At no fault of theirs. A studio that wants a voice that can be recognized world wide because of popularity of the person in question. It robs the actor playing the part of the fame they deserve. So David Hyde Pierce is phenomenal in his own right and everyone that thought he played that part was duped. From the physicality side of it. And when looking for his name in the credits and never seeing it, served to confuse everyone. Anyhow, Doug is a legend! And deserves all the kudos that come his way and more.

[@KingSidJames]

And respect to James Earl Jones for not wanting credit for the voice work.

[@told2stop]

Got to meet Doug at a Chicago con a few years ago. He is an absolutely one of the nicest people ive ever met.

[@Sephe__S]

Doug is a beautiful soul. Amazing interview. Thanks lads

[@zzilly14]

I met Doug on the cruise last year. Such a treasure! Hope to get another Doug hug in the future! Thanks Connor and Dom for having this convo, this is fantastic!

[@christopherwilson7497]

Got to love an interview with Doug he's done so many films and the amount of love and realistic approach he puts into his characters is just awesome thank you Doug and thank you two guys for this wonderful interview. I wonder if you will ever get Alan Tudyk on the show and why has he never been in Star Trek he's done Star Wars and was great in Fire Fly her another brilliant actor and voice actor.

[@MichaelSTaylor]

Resident Alien! Alan Tudyk is unbelievably talented and also comes across as a good guy, I'd love to see him on this podcast.

[@ireneartho3721]

I love Doug! I was able to get more than one hug across 2 cruises, and also had the chance to chat to him for a bit on one occasion. Such a warm and lovely human being!

[@JRo250]

I haven't watched the video yet but want to jump in here and preempt it by saying that just a few actors carried Discovery for me, and at the top of that list was Doug Jones. Brilliant character building. Just watch Saru, from the unique way he walks, runs (early episodes), and even clicks his tongue, it's amazing. I can't be sure but I doubt anyone scripted or directed that, it's all too subtle but made a huge difference in the uniqueness of the character. I wish Saru would still be captain and had his own series.

[@TheGeekAuthority]

Excellent interview with the kind sole that is Mr. Doug Jones! Having interviewed him a few times for #TheGeekAuthority, I was lucky to receive his wRm heart and loving ❤️ hugs! Thanks Connor and Dominic! Sharing this! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

[@BeckyMorrison-v2l]

What a charming man and interview!

[@g0nz0theGreat]

He's a wonderful man, been in so many of my favorite movies.

[@sammarshall8402]

Saru is one of the great Trek characters. Thanks D-Con Chamber!

[@TekTravis]

I LOVE DOUG JONES AND I LOVED THIS EPISODE! !!!!! ~ T

[@bryalogicalgaming5817]

I am halfway through this and I already bailed 6 times to look up Doug's characters

[@davidlavigne207]

Definitely one of the outstanding actors of the modern age. He's a character actor with leading man quality performances. I had no idea that he played The Silver Surfer, and so many other roles.

[@scottwells8064]

What a genuine, humble, and generous man, this Doug Jones.

[@unclemikeh2922]

Doug is so Wonderful to talk to

[@spankyham9607]

He was the Mac Tonight guy? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@susanscott8653]

Thanks for the lovely interview with Doug Jones. I had idea how extensive his career had been. Catch you next week. 🖖

[@edkwon]

Doug = one of the kindest and most talented people in Hollywood, met him at a scifi con in LA, wonderful guy 👍🏽

[@Ted2of25]

I got to experience the "Doug hug" at the Creation Ent Trek con in NJ. Such a wholesome person. ❤️❤️❤️

[@wyldekey]

No way that this man is over sixty! Wonderful interview. Doug is amazing.

[@zenchiefengineer]

Love Doug!

[@Mark-gl2fz]

Doug Jones is the bomb!

[@nigelobrien71]

Great guest. Great interview.

[@Womanwithblackdog]

What a great show! Thanks so much.❤

[@FreihEitner]

Awesome guest this week. Great discussion.

[@everettharris967]

Fantastic interview! Doug is a delight and I hated to have the interview end.

[@Ted2of25]

I love that Bonnie Gordon sings the theme song for the podcast. ❤️

[@MontePlaysGames]

Congrats all on Season 2!!!! Enjoyed the mixed in watch party as well. Thank you D-Con Chamber from a Silver Snout Patreon member. Happy Birthday Dave!!!! Thanks for this

[@mitchy17]

That was so wholesome. Love you guys.

[@jorgealonzo8535]

What a great interview fellas!

[@doorofnight87]

Amazing epsiode, Doug Jones is such an awesome actor, loved hearing the interview!

[@MyKazH]

Another awesome episode - thank you from Australia 🥰

[@reneelorraine]

This was perfect,thank you

[@hollydowns2279]

Thank you for this show

[@Stuka87]

Was great to meet all three of you this weekend in SF! Loved this episode!

[@tomlawrie83]

I wasn’t a big podcast guy before D-Con chamber but I definitely am now! This was my favourite episode yet

[@unclemikeh2922]

Hes a great person

[@davidredmond292]

Thanks for another great show!

[@spidersprue]

Doug Jones walked passed me at a comic con waving at the fans he won't remember but I will forever great man

[@whataboutbobyt]

You need to add a Part 2 ASAP.

[@andrewbrown3070]

Great show

[@rampageExtremeGamer]

Good stuff 😀

[@fleafer]

Cannot WAIT for this live, but I'm "on duty" as a caregiver then so might miss it live. Want to ask him: If a fan crowd funded $75,000 would he choose a star ⭐ on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or for the money to go to hiring a screenwriter to develop a Hallmark script (for instance) just for him? Please like this comment to get it attention so the D-Con guys see it and maybe they'll ask him. ❤

[@damienkakoschke3099]

Adore everything Doug Jones has been in. I watched Discovery for him & Michelle Yeoh. re: Silver Surfer & MCU, Marvel only recently reaquired the rights to The Fantastic Four & the X-Men (they sold the IP to a lot of things in the 90's long before the MCU), which is why they are only now looking at doing a FF & X-Men movies. Prior to that Sony had the rights. Re: Abe Sapien, Doug did the voices on Hellboy 2 & the animated Hellboy movies. LOLs, Bauston Camilleri AKA Action-Saru. The running on a carpet behind a truck trick was used in Underworld. What We Do In The Shadows, he is so much fun! I am so like Doug describing his anxiety as relating it to Saru. Doug Jones is so lovely!

[@thelifeofcollinrs6030]

Been rewatching enterprise for the 5th time now. Just got back to season 4. Love you guys! Wish you could do a bridge crew reunion episode

[@fleafer]

Awesome show. Doug has the most FANTASTIC voice for podcasts. Hey Doug, in between movies, could you host your own show? Dont care one whit what you talk about or who you talk to...just talk or read or sing or tell dad jokes. And, of course, use those expressive hands. No, really, I'm not joking. 15 minutes to 1/2 hour Doug storytime or something. You can do so many voices...narration in podcast form could be in your future. Wish I knew how to set that up.

[@Vort317545]

Wow talk about synergistic! I just learned this morning that Doug Jones from Star Trek had done all these amazing rolls. Love Pan’s Labyrinth. I log on to KZbin and this podcast interview with Doug Jones is the very first in my list of recommendations. The Podcast fantastic too! To see you guys. Being I’m a trekie! Malcolm was my favorite on Enterprise. Seriously Dominic they should picked you to play a new James Bond! You would have been perfect.

[@steveblissett654]

Brilliant ❤

[@--Animal--]

Had no idea he was in so many high profile movies!

[@Ma55ey]

With the greatest respect to everyone. I found Doug jones to be the only aspect of discovery that was worth watching.

[@susanscott8653]

There were things I enjoyed about Discovery, things I thought could have been done better and things that made me go 😳 but DJ was a highlight.

[@raincoast_bear]

When I first saw Saru on Discovery, his character reminded me of Ensign Nano from the 1997 Marvel Star Trek Early Voyages comic. His backstory turned out to be pretty similar, too.

[@carlosvergara4132]

Oh so lovely.

[@toval76]

I didn't like a lot what they did on Discovery, but the actors are all so awesome people and Doug is such a lovely man.

[@danielceo4694]

Hey guys! Love you! Love the show! Happy birthday Dave!

[@shaneoliver8669]

happy birthday Dave

[@MaxFleye]

Doug deserved better than Discovery. I hope he gets to be in a good Star Trek show someday.

[@wearwolf2500]

Discovery was very hit or miss but Saru was always an amazing character. Definitely one of the best parts of the show

[@T85om]

🖖

[@beejmaximus]

Why do I feel guilty for not finding this podcast sooner?

[@spankyham9607]

Saru was the best character on Discovery! He was epic at creating the race like Nemoy was at creating the Vulkan race.

[@SlickTim9905]

What an Amazing career. He went from producing Bugs Bunny cartoons to starring in Star Trek.

[@Dpixtion]

Forgot to mention Cochease from Falling skys in the opening.

[@wullie823]

Saru walks funny, with his arms swinging behind him

[@DenkyManner]

So sad, and still mystified, about him not playing Frankenstein's monster in Del Toro's new film. It was such obvious, perfect casting, and at one point it was happening. Amazing move by David Hyde Pierce.

[@BlackieBloomberg]

Excellent episode. Doug is amazing, and I will always be annoyed that they killed his character in The Flash off so quickly and unceremoniously.

[@unclemikeh2922]

Happy birthday

[@unclemikeh2922]

We have meet Doug about 6 times

[@TomUlcak]

Ok guys, you NEED to give us info on your F'n cool hats. Please. Love you both.

[@andywellsglobaldomination]

Saru = THE BEST CAPTAIN IN ST:D!!!!

[@TigBlack7]

hey happy birthday, dave

[@phr3dmcc0y]

Doug Reminds me a LOT OF Christopher Reeve.

[@rwhit2726]

Wjhat about having Brannon Braga on especially after the reunion show you guys had in 2015.

[@dosha_anand]

Patricia Tallman would make for an interesting interview if you can get her.

[@AddaHandletocon]

❤

[@joew4295]

Could either or both of you two Connor and Dominic please tell Scott Bakula's agent to get Scott to make a movie about Randolph Scott -- not only does he look like him but acted great on Enterprise as if Randolph Scott had played the Captain Archer.

[@lonnieeasterling9509]

I just realized Doug sounds like Christopher Reeve. Close your eyes and listen.

[@townsittingman]

Love your show - and I guess also fedoras at your age is fine

[@unclemikeh2922]

Nice

[@TomUlcak]

Does Doug have a brother named Dan who lives, or used to live, in Seattle? Probably not, but, Dan was such a cool and good man. And, they look like they could be brothers...

[@ca-yp8tp]

Greatly enjoyed Mr Jones, even though I don't particularly care for Discovery

[@ThreadBomb]

How did I only hear about this channel now? And what happened to Shuttlepod?

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

🖖🖖🖖🙂🖖🖖🖖🇨🇦

[@MemoirsofaGamer1982]

I spoke to Doug on Twitter in DM when Discovery started. They were getting so much hate. He was so lovely. It's a shame because the actors aren't the writers. It was the awful writers and woke activist showrunners who ruined Discovery. The actors just do as they're told

[@susanscott8653]

Paused the video to make this comment. In TOS Gene Roddenberry made a point of including an African American woman, a Russian and an Asian man in the cast, as characters and valued crew in positions of responsibility. This was in the 60s, barely 20 years after WWII, during the civil rights movement. There was also a story with characters who were half black and half-white. Star Trek has always been woke. That has always been the point. LLAP 🖖

[@MemoirsofaGamer1982]

@susanscott8653 No! There's a MASSIVE difference! Being progressive and doing what Gene did helped society. Being woke is a toxic ideology. Woke is regressive. It's anti white, anti straight, anti family ideology. That thank f**k is on its way out. Woke has been rejected globally. Its an ideology that protects predators and gives people with severaly mental issues too much power. It's caused more division that any ideology on earth, as it has hit almost every country. Im a gay guy. Woke has made me feel unsafe cos woke had make people like me a target again

[@andywellsglobaldomination]

TRIP'S NOT DEAD... That last episode was a "very special episode" of TNG, and the holodeck story was obviously corrupted and linked to somebody else who died....

[@unclemikeh2922]

Damm

[@shauncraigparkinson8165]

Doug is a superb actor. Hated Discovery, sorry. Love Star Trek Enterprise. Wish it continued after season 4.
