Genre movie staple and veteran character actor Doug Jones is the latest addition to the cast of Star Trek: Discovery, the forthcoming streaming series from CBS All Access.
Jones is best known for his creature suit characters in director Guillermo del Toro's films, such as Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movies and as the Pale Man and the Faun in Pan's Labyrinth. Jones also played the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and will soon be seen in the title role of The Bye Bye Man. He played the alien "Cochise" on Falling Skies, while Arrow and Flash fans may remember him as the villainous Deathbolt.
It was announced today that Jones will play “Lt. Saru,” a Starfleet Science Officer and a new alien species to the Star Trek universe. Joining Jones in the cast is theater, film and TV veteran Anthony Rapp (Rent, A Beautiful Mind) as “Lt. Stamets,” an astromycologist, fungus expert, and Starfleet Science Officer aboard the Starship Discovery.
