Doug Jones (born May 24, 1960) is an American actor.

Douglas Reid Jones (born June 24 1957 in Lebanon, Indiana) is a former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who had a 16-year career from 1982, 1986-2000. He played for the Milwaukee Brewers (1982, 1996-1998), Cleveland Indians (1986-1991, 1998), Baltimore Orioles (1995), and Oakland Athletics (1999-2000), all of the American League, and the Houston Astros (1992-1993), Philadelphia Phillies (1994), and Chicago Cubs (1996) of the National League. His 303 career saves ranked 12th in major league history upon his retirement, and his 846 career appearances ranked 21st. He held the Indians' all-time record for saves with 129 until Bob Wickman broke it on May 7, 2006. A changeup specialist, he was known for keeping hitters off balance by throwing extremely slow pitches. He threw a 2-seam fastball that topped out in the low to mid 80's and a knuckle curve on occasion.

He was elected to the American League All-Star team 3 times (1988, 1989 and 1990) and to the National League All-Star team twice (1992 and 1994).

He was the oldest player in 2000 at the age of 43. He now lives in Tucson, Arizona.

The youngest of four brothers, Doug Jones was born on the 24th May, 1960, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and grew up in the city's Northeastside. After attending Bishop Chatard High School, he headed off to Ball State University, where he graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, with a minor in Theatre. He learned mime at school, joining a troupe and doing the whole white-face thing, and has also worked as a contortionist. After a hitch in theater in Indiana, he moved to Los Angeles in 1985, and has not been out of work since - he's acted in over 25 films, many television series (Including the award-winning "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997), his episode 'Hush' garnered two Emmy nominations) and over 90 commercials and music videos with the likes of Madonna (I) and Marilyn Manson. Although known mostly for his work under prosthetics, he has also performed as 'himself' in such highly-rated films as Adaptation. (2002) with Nicolas Cage and indie projects such as Phil Donlon's Series of Small Things, A (2005). But it is his sensitive and elegant performance as 'Abe Sapien' in Hellboy (2004), which stormed to the top of the U.S. box office in the spring of 2004, that has brought him an even higher profile and much praise from audiences and critics alike. Doug is married and lives in California.
