So he threw all of his weapons down and said, come on, man. He - then he pulled out, like, a flamethrower. So we had a big knockdown drag-out in a cave. But I was a giant insect that was guarding my pile of eggs, and he was coming to kill us.
JONES: And I had a huge fight scene with Randy Quaid.

I did a movie, a horrible movie called "Bug Buster." JONES: But I think a giant cockroachy bug thing. The leading man - the leading romantic male of a movie, and it's in a fish suit. But can you think of, like, the weirdest thing you were asked to play? And I say this to somebody who has literally played the Angel of Death. SAGAL: I know this is a very weird question to ask you.
So it's like, oh, honey, look at the clown. And so there's not a whole lot of people in that area that knew what a mine was. Yeah, you know? You know, Cincinnati, Ohio, is kind of, like, on the cusp of Indiana, Kentucky. JONES: But it's like I'm doing my art for a paycheck. And I was a walkaround mime that did just what you just said. JONES: My first job out of college was working at Kings Island, a theme park in Cincinnati, Ohio. SAGAL: But were you that kind of mime? Were you out on the sidewalk doing, like, oh, there's a wind, there's a wall, that kind of stuff? GROSZ: The same way a drug dealer likes to get on the street, you know, and, like, ropes him in. And that's how the mime thing started with me. He said, you know, you should come see one of our shows and think about auditioning for our troupe. JONES: And so he saw how I talk with my hands and how lanky I was. The mime troupe was called Mime Over Matter. And a senior is one who ran the mime troupe. At my dorm I lived in at Ball State, I was a freshman. SAGAL: I assume people were just born into, like, the mime cast. SAGAL: Yeah, it seems like - I assume people were just. Why out of all things did you decide to become a mime? People were just all over me the minute I got to LA. And being 6-foot-3 and 140 pounds and having a mime background, it's like, oh, the creature effects. No, actually, I started as a mime back at Ball State University in Indiana. Do you ever, like, pop a dozen hard-boiled eggs into your mouth slowly just to let people know that that's you? SAGAL: Have you ever - does that ever bother you? 'Cause you're a very successful guy, and, sometimes, you'd like to be recognized. I'm that actor who's been on the cover of a best Oscar-winning picture who can walk to Starbucks, and nobody knows who the hell I am. But I'm assuming that when you go out in the street, nobody recognizes you, right?
SAGAL: So you are, as we've said, an extremely famous movie star. He was the sexy sea creature in "The Shape Of Water." He's played monsters, aliens and heroic creatures in many other movies, including "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy." He also plays Saru now on "Star Trek: Discovery," which starts its third season. Speaking of being recognized, actor Doug Jones is usually not despite playing the lead in a movie that won the Oscar for best picture. And now the game where people who have done a lot finally get recognized and end up wishing they had remained anonymous.
