About Douglas M. Eames

Born in the New Orleans area, Doug first developed an interest in acting at the age of 6. After noting that most movies were filmed in Technicolor, he told his mother that it was his dream to move to this mysterious city. She explained that Hollywood was the place he ought to be, and pretended to make a phone call to the studios to appease her son. "Okay, you're now an actor," she said. At last he had the validation he needed.4 years later, he was starring in Baton Rouge Little Theater's production of "Finishing Touches" and appearing in local TV commercials.Doug continued his acting interests in college at Southeastern Louisiana University in various university productions, including Moliere's "The Miser" (as Harpagon), and Sheridan's "The Rivals", (as Faulkland), moving to Los Angeles the year he graduated, 1986; his first big break was playing a regular under 5 orderly on ABC's "General Hospital" during the tenure of casting directors Marvin Paige and Skitch Hendricks. This led to a lead role in cult film director Andy Milligan's last picture, "Surgikill."During his early years in Hollywood, Doug also worked as a stand-in for several actors including George Burns ("18 Again"), Martin Short ("The Making of Me"), and Freddy Rodriguez ("6 Feet Under", "Dreamer").More recently, Doug had a featured part in the Disney/Bruckheimer film "Glory Road", and played a character role in Growing Pains TV-movie reunion, "Return of the Seavers," directed by Joanna Kerns.In addition to acting, Doug has also done voice-over work. His most notable project in this area was his portrayal of the "Old Dog" in indie animator John Gati's adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snowman."...
