Jason Douglas
Jason Douglas is an actor, born 1973.
Jason Douglas is an American film, television and voice actor, born in Arkansas in 1973. The roles he is best known for are mostly not catalogued on this page: Tobin on The Walking Dead, Beerus across Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Super, Tomomi Masaoka in Psycho-Pass, and Krieg in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. That gap matters, because the anime dubbing and video-game work is the larger half of his career.
What the film credits show instead is a working character actor built into a particular production ecosystem. He is the cabbie at the motel in No Country for Old Men, a hitman in Sin City, Lewis in Planet Terror, a patrolman in Machete, the New Path farm manager in A Scanner Darkly, Ken Howe in Parkland. Small parts, often one or two scenes, in a cluster of films made by Robert Rodriguez, Richard Linklater and the Coen brothers within a few hundred miles of each other.
Television has given him more room: Satan in Preacher, Anthony in The Lost Room, Dashell Brinks in Nashville, and Jacques Schnee in RWBY, which sits at the intersection of his two careers. He has worked steadily for two decades without a single credit the general audience could name him from, which is a specific kind of career and a more common one than the star pages suggest.

Where to start with Jason Douglas
The best use of him here is Preacher, and playing Satan in a series with that much stylistic swagger is a good test of whether an actor can hold a room. Start there.
For the film work, No Country for Old Men and A Scanner Darkly are the two best pictures he appears in, though in each case you are watching for a scene rather than a performance. Sin City and Planet Terror are the pulpier end of the same Texas production run and are more fun. The Lost Room is the genuine recommendation among the deeper cuts, a strange and underseen miniseries, and RWBY is where to go if what brought you here was the voice rather than the face.
