We had the opportunity to speak with actor Doug Jones at the 37^th annual Saturn Awards. A mainstay in director Guillermo del Toro’s films, Jones is best known for his work playing non-human characters, usually in heavy makeup. He took on, with great success, the character of Abe Sapien in the Hellboy films and was poisitively terrifying as the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth. During the interview, he spoke a bit about a third Hellboy film, his relationship with del Toro, and more.

The other night I attended the 2009 Saturn Awards. Since I interviewed over twenty people, it’s taken some time to edit all the video. Thankfully, today I made a lot of headway, so here’s the start of a big block of video interviews. Look for a lot more tomorrow. So up first…”Hellboy” creator Mike Mignola

During my short conversation with Mike, we talked about what he’s been up to recently and what’s going on in the world of “Hellboy”. He also told me he was recently in New Zealand doing a bit of work on “The Hobbit” and we discussed Comic-Con. Watch the interview after the jump:
