They shot me all in one day, and then used my bits sprinkled throughout. I didn’t know as much about the film as I should, because I was a cameo in the film. Albert” DJ: I think it went straight to DVD with a healthy following so far. I’m surprised how many commercials and sitcoms and movies have a need for, “We just need something to come by the camera that’s really weird.” They call Doug Jones.Ĭyrus: Mind Of A Serial Killer (2010)-“Dr. It became one of those things where my early agents knew that I had that ability, so I was sent out for a lot of auditions for commercials and TV shows that one might need a funny, “tah dah!” “Oh look, he can put his head… huh.” So that’s kind of how that happened. I am kind of a freak of nature who has loose joints, and I was able to put my legs behind my head, and it looked weird to people when I was a kid, so I kept doing it.

He wanted me to come in and show him my contorting bits and see if there was anything he could do with me.
