Inside Doug Jones’ Amazing Year, From ‘Star Trek’ to ‘Twin Peaks’ to Senate

Doug Jones is a true original. From scoring major film and television roles to scoring an upset win in Alabama’s Senate election, he’s had a very big 2017. Let’s have a look.

Before the year even began, Doug Jones was named to the cast of the new “Star Trek: Discovery.” As TheWrap’s Rosemary Rossi recently reported, Jones is sometimes called the “man of a thousand faces” because he appears in a wide range of projects, including “Pan’s Labyrinth,” under pounds of makeup.

In May 2017, Jones, an attorney best known for prosecuting two Klansmen, declared himself a candidate for Senate in Alabama. The Democrat was a serious underdog in the deep-red state.

That same month, Doug “Dougie” Jones popped up on Showtime’s “Twin Peaks” revival.
