Guillermo del Toro's latest fantasy drama "The Shape of Water" seems to be nothing less than magical, and bringing some of that magic onto the screen is Del Toro's go-to Man-In-Suit actor Doug Jones, who portrays the imprisoned Creature from the Sea, simply called "The Asset."

Check out a new behind-the-scenes featurette for "The Shape of Water," which spotlights Jones' as the cold-blooded "Fish Man" who will no doubt warm moviegoers hearts this holiday season.

Elisa soon befriends the incarcerated amphibian man and together with her co-worker/friend Zelda Fuller (Octavia Spencer) devise a plan to rescue the doomed creature from the real monsters of the laboratory.

"The Shape of Water" shall be released in theaters starting on December 8th.
