Doug jones
The world’s most famous actor whose face you’ve probably never seen.
Doug Jones is an acclaimed actor best known for bringing unforgettable creatures to life in blockbuster films and TV shows. Over nearly 40 years, he’s starred in projects like Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, The Shape of Water, and Star Trek: Discovery. Often called “the world’s most famous actor whose face you’ve probably never seen,” Doug is celebrated for his artistry, physical storytelling, and ability to make even the most fantastical characters feel human.
Doug’s lifelong journey through hidden characters has made him uniquely suited to this show: he doesn’t just explore museums—he sees them. He knows what it means to be “out of sight,” and so he has a special intuition for the unseen—those places that are rich with history, artistry, and stories, yet fly under the radar. For this show, Doug brings his deep appreciation for craftsmanship, storytelling, and character to each location. Whether inside dusty archives, local collections, or tiny displays tucked away in small towns, he stops not just to observe but to immerse—and invites the audience to do the same.
Stop The Car’s Mission
From sea to shining sea, America is packed with hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. Some sit quietly in small-town museums, others tucked away in heritage collections or community archives. Wherever they are, each piece tells a story of our nation’s past.
With childlike wonder, Doug Jones takes us on the ultimate road trip to uncover these forgotten gems — from rare 19th-century candies to groovy mid-century toys. Along the way, he reminds us that history isn’t just found in textbooks; it lives in the everyday objects that shaped generations.
At its core, Stop The Car is about more than artifacts. It’s about reconnecting with the things that matter most: history, family, and community. Each stop brings people together — sparking curiosity, strengthening bonds, and breathing life into towns both small and bustling. By spotlighting these stories, we build bridges across generations and rediscover the values that tie us all together.
FAMILY TIME
Doug’s production crew isn’t just a team, they’re family. Together, they explore each town beyond the museums, sharing laughs, meals, and local discoveries along the way.
