Doug Jones (born May 24, 1960)[1] is an American actor, contortionist and mime artist. He is best known for portraying non-human creatures, usually via heavy make-up and visual effects. He most notably collaborated with acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, appearing in the films Mimic (1997), Hellboy (2004), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), Crimson Peak (2015), and The Shape of Water (2017).[2]
Fabulous actor/performer, but because he's often "in disguise" you probably wouldn't recognize him in the street.
Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier, OM was an English actor and director who, along with his contemporaries Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud, was one of a trinity of male actors who dominated the British stage of the mid-20th century. He also worked in films throughout his career, playing more than fifty cinema roles. Late in his career, he had considerable success in television roles.
Joan Ann Olivier, Baroness Olivier, D.B.E.[1] (née Plowright; born 28 October 1929), commonly known as Dame Joan Plowright, is a retired English actress whose career has spanned over seven decades. She has won two Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award and has been nominated for an Academy Award, an Emmy and two BAFTA Awards. She was the second of only four actresses (as of 2020) to have won two Golden Globes in the same year.
She's now 91 and retired from acting because she lost her sight due to macular degeneration. She's a Dame in her own right, awarded Dame Commander in 2004, upgraded from Commander awarded in 1970.
She and Sir Larry were and are, respectively, "acting royalty", IMHO. Just fabulous, both of them.

You really like to drag this out, don't you ? . You know the name we need.
No, the opposite in fact. If I don't have something in mind, and/or know I won't be on the computer, I try to leave it to somebody else so that things keep moving and don't drag out.
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be anyone else again this time, so it's Anne Bancroft.
Charles Robert Darwin FRS FRGS FLS FZS[2] (/drwn/;[5] 12 February 1809 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist,[6] best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.[I] His proposition that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors is now widely accepted, and considered a foundational concept in science.[7] In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.[8]
