Star Trek’s Doug Jones Becomes Saru in Stunning Time-Lapse Video

Few actors have done quite as many roles in film and television while wearing prosthetic makeup as Doug Jones. From his role as the “Amphibian Man” in the Best Picture Winner The Shape of Water, to his current role as Commander Saru on Star Trek: Discovery, Jones has an uncanny knack for delivering strong performances while hidden under piles of makeup.

Now, with it being Emmy season, CBS TV Studios has released a stunning time-lapse video of Jones having his makeup applied as a “For Your Consideration” for the Star Trek: Discovery prosthetic makeup design team of Alchemy Studios’ Glenn Hetrick and Neville Page. Page designed and produced the makeup used for Saru, while Jimmy Mackinnon is the artist in charge of the team that applies the makeup to Jones and other actors wearing prosthetics every day.
