Doug Jones: The Gentleman from Buffy at HellmouthCon 2026 in Los Angeles

HellmouthCon is summoning none other than Doug Jones to Sunnydale.

Fans best know Doug Jones as The Gentlemen leader from the Buffy episode “Hush.”

A master of transformation, movement, and mood, Doug Jones has brought some of the most unforgettable beings in modern fantasy and science fiction to life. From the tender amphibian man in The Shape of Water, to the haunting Pale Man and Faun of Pan’s Labyrinth, to his commanding presence in Star Trek: Discovery, his performances exist in that rare space where elegance and eeriness coexist.

For Buffy fans, though, his place in Sunnydale lore is sealed forever.

Doug portrayed the leader of The Gentlemen in “Hush” — the floating, smiling nightmares who stole every voice in town and turned silence into terror. Few television villains have ever been so quiet… or so unforgettable. The episode remains one of the most celebrated hours of genre television, proving that what you don’t hear can be far more unsettling than what you do.

Now the man behind that chilling, graceful performance is returning to the Hellmouth itself.

The silence is broken. The voices are back. And Sunnydale is ready.

At HellmouthCon 2026, fans will have the chance to meet Doug Jones in person, hear behind-the-scenes stories from Buffy, get autographs, and pose for photo ops.
