Other memorable films include the Oscar nominated films Devil In a Blue Dress directed by Carl Franklin and Fences directed by and starring Denzel Washington. As a 2nd generation sound technician picking up where his father Lee Shamburger left off Douglas has worked on numerous hit TV shows as well as a long list of films that had box office success. Most recently Oppenheimer Winning the Cinema Audio Society Award for Best Sound on a Feature Film while also having another film he worked on Killers of The Flower Moon also nominated for this same category.

Working in production sound as a dialogue playback operator in the late 1990's on the film Doctor Doolittle starring Eddie Murphy led to an opportunity for Douglas to lend his voice to the project at the request of the film's Director Betty Thomas and him being Taft Hartley'd into the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) spawning a passion for voice over acting on various other projects to this day. Douglas and his wife currently live in California they have two adult daughters.
