WWDITS’ Doug Jones Shares Favorite Memories From 6 Seasons as the Baron

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ star Doug Jones exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about the ‘rare gift’ of playing Baron Afanas

I’ve played so many characters over my career so far, and the Baron is a standout for me because I get to be so goofy and go as big as I want,” Jones, 64, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the Monday, December 2, episode. Colin Robinson is rarely the life of the party, but in the latest episode of What We Do in the Shadows, he finds himself in high demand when his friend’s wife tries to persuade him into an unusual arrangement. His thick vampire accent, of course, is far less natural — in real life Jones is from Indianapolis — but it will live on among WWDITS fans, who love to try out their Baron impressions when they meet the actor.
