Doug Jones plays Baron Afanas on What We Do in the Shadows this week .

Jones plays the ancient bloodsucker on the show.

The Baron has had four different looks throughout the series.

Jones says the Baron is "a massive underachiever" who thinks he's the "Daddy-o of them all".

Jones: "I get an Ozzie and Harriet vibe, if you’re going to go way back to classic television. And I do love the fabulousness of him.â Jones: I’ve had so much time in rubber bits, and Iâve been in a lot of dark material. When you add comedy to it, it changes the game entirely. You're doing all this for the funny instead of for the scares. Now the show does have its scares, but they end up being funny, you know?.

The one show Saru could guest star on would be Starfleet Academy because it takes place in the same timeline.

If it did, he would be akin to hearing them out.

But that call hasn't come yet, he says.

What We Do in the Shadows airs new episodes Mondays on FX ; they stream next day on Hulu .
