Doug also stars in the Jack Links commercials as BigFoot. I asked him if he tells anyone about that when the spots air while he’s in public. I tell everybody. I love people to know that I play that character because I love the character. So it’s so cool that, any time anybody talks about it, they just said, I. Man, those are my favorite commercials because commercials are boring and they really provide entertaining ones”
Doug also directed the movie Angel Baby, which his wife stars in. “Yes, it’s a thriller that’s available on Apple, Vudu, Google, YouTube—pretty much everywhere except Netflix, but we’re working on it! I star in it alongside Rebecca De Mornay and Daniel Roebuck. Doug directed it, which was his debut.”
Meet Doug At Eloise
Doug told me about his appearance at Eloise on September 28th. “Tomorrow night, I’ll be signing autographs and doing a special Jason photo op in costume from Freddy vs. Jason between 7 and 8 p.m. After that, I’ll be signing for the rest of the night. We’ll also have movie posters and headshots, so come on down!”
He loved playing Jason. “Oh, it was amazing. I’ve been a huge Halloween fan all my life, so putting on that mask for the first time was surreal. It was like a dream come true.”
He plays scary characters on the big screen, but he also loves the paranormal. “I love haunted houses and anything paranormal. When I was asked to be part of Eloise Asylum’s opening night, I was all in. I’ve read up on the history, and I’m really excited to experience it firsthand.”
Before we started recording the interview, I had Doug and Isabel listen to the screams we caught on video at Eloise a month ago. He loved it! “That was wild! And the fact that you’re skeptical but still can’t explain what you caught makes it even more intriguing. I can’t wait to check it out tonight.”

Doug has lots of stuff coming up, some of which he couldn’t talk about just yet. “I’ve got more Jack Link’s Sasquatch commercials coming up, and I recently shot a Halloween-themed commercial for Uber Eats. I’m always working on something—indie horror films, commercials—there’s always something in the pipeline.”
A huge Thank You to Doug and Isabel for coming by the station. Great to meet them, as you’ll be able to this Saturday at Eloise.
