Book and Saru are examples of positive masculinity on television, what does that mean to you?

Doug Jones: Thank you for thinking I am masculine at all.

I really look up to Saru, and not just because of the heigh difference.

@EmpathicVagrant

Saru embodies the ideals of the Federation, as nobody else.

Absolutely incredible response.

I am really gonna miss Discovery, I am not sure Doug Jones is going to miss dressing up as Saru for every shoot though.

Still though wow he really knocks it out of the park with conveying an alien with a physicality much different than ours, he has to easily be one of the best aliens in the whole series.
