The Craziest Day of My Entire Career is a segment that gives us the chance to talk with some of our favorite people about some truly unbelievable stories. This time around, we’re joined by actor Doug Jones. He often portrays non-human creatures with the help of visual effects, prosthetics and heavy make-up. You’ve seen him in The Shape of Water as the amphibian man – and as the terrifying faun with eyes in his palms in Pan’s Labyrinth. When we asked him about the craziest day of his entire career, he took us back to 1998 to the set of the film Bug Buster. During filming, he had an unforgettable run in with Randy Quaid. You can check out Doug Jones’ latest work on Star Trek: Discovery on CBS: All Access and What We Do In The Shadows on FX Now.
