Doug Jones was a bit surprised to read a Falling Skies season four script and discover that not only would be playing ‘Cochise’, an alien ally of the surviving humans on Earth, but that he’d also be playing Cochise’s father. However, Jones shouldn’t have been surprised to find out that he was going to be asked to handle more Falling Skies creatures.
Jones is a master at making fantastical creatures appear alive on screen as he fully disappears into every creature he’s ever been asked to play.
Jones, whose credits include Abe Sapien in the Hellboy films, Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Fauno/The Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth, joined Moon Bloodgood, Sarah Carter, and Seychelle Gabriel at WonderCon to discuss the fourth season of the sci-fi action series and what’s it like to be a part of Falling Skies‘ strange post-apocalyptic world.
Falling Skies season four premieres on TNT on June 22, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT.
