Doug was a middle-section background survivor of Oceanic Flight 815. He is a redshirt member of Team Locke who is killed on day 97, by the mercenaries.
After many uncredited appearances as an extra character across four seasons, the character was finally officially credited by ABC Medianet in "The Shape of Things to Come", by virtue of a speaking line, in the character's death scene.

On the Island
Season 1 (Days 1-44)
Doug was assisted directly after the crash by another passenger, and joined the other survivors on the beach that night to hear the roars and sounds of the Monster emanating from within the jungle. ("Pilot, Part 1")
When the signal party returned to the beach, Doug and the other survivors listened to Sayid's speech. Doug also helped Claire and other survivors sort possessions which were strewn across the beach from the crash, and collected firewood for the mass funeral. Later, he was present at the mass funeral for the crash victims, during which the plane fuselage was burned. The next day he, with the camp, saw a woman drowning in the sea, however, they were unable to help her, though Boone attempted, nearly drowning as well. That night, Doug listened to Jack make his "live together, die alone" speech. ("Tabula Rasa") ("Walkabout") ("White Rabbit")
Doug witnessed Jin deliver a beating to Michael when Jin found Michael wearing the Rolex watch. Later that day Jack asked Doug and other survivors if they would like to live at the caves with some other survivors. Soon after, Doug and few other survivors walked to the caves and made camp. When Jack was caught in the cave-in, Doug was then seen trying to help. ("House of the Rising Sun") ("The Moth")
Doug is seen at the caves when Jack asks the group if they have seen Ethan. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")
He also witnessed Locke carry Boone back to the caves and helps Jack carry Boone. ("Deus Ex Machina") ("Do No Harm")
Doug helped along with his fellow survivors in getting the raft in the water for the first time, when Rousseau arrived at the camp to deliver a dire threat about the coming of The Others. Along with all those around him at the raft, he saw the Black Smoke coming from across the island, apparently signaling the approach of The Others. Doug was present for the official launching of the raft and soon after he was seen walking to the caves. ("Exodus, Part 1") ("Exodus, Part 2")
Season 2 (Days 49-63)
A week later Doug attend Shannon's funeral. ("What Kate Did")
Doug also walked past Claire when she went to see Libby because she had been having flashes of the week in which she was abducted by the Others. The next day Doug is seen talking to other survivors. ("Maternity Leave") ("The Whole Truth")
When a pallet of DHARMA food and supplies was found on the Island, Doug was handing it out in the forest. Doug also listened to Bernard's speech about making a SOS sign however, he opted not to participate in the construction of the sign. ("Dave") ("S.O.S.")
Season 3 (Days 77-91)
Doug watched with amusement as Hurley beat Sawyer playing ping-pong, in a game that resulted in Sawyer being unable to refer to anyone by nickname for a week. ("Enter 77")
When Jack, Sayid, & Kate returned to the camp from escaping from the Others, Doug was there to greet them. He and the rest of the survivors were shock to see Juliet coming to their camp and sleeping in their tents. At night time, when Jack was talking to the survivors on getting rescued, Doug was there to help Claire to her bed tent. ("One of Us")
When the Others decide to raid the camp, Doug join his fellow survivors in preparing to leave for the radio tower. Doug then walked to the radio tower with the survivors. Upon reaching the tower with everyone else, Doug was overjoyed when Jack finally makes communication with Naomi's ship. ("Greatest Hits") ("Through the Looking Glass")
Season 4 (Days 91-97)
Doug celebrated with the other survivors, while waiting for rescue. Before journeying to the cockpit, Jack gives Doug some firewood. When the group reach the cockpit, the fractions separate and Doug chooses to join Locke's group to the Barracks. ("The Beginning of the End")
The next day he is seen walking to the Barracks with the rest of Locke's group. While Locke and the group question Charlotte, Doug is seen holding Vincent. ("Confirmed Dead") ("The Economist")
When the freighter mercenaries invade the Barracks, Sawyer is armed with a gun and frantically looking for Claire. He comes across Doug holding some firewood. Sawyer asks if he has seen Claire leave her house at all but Doug doesn't answer. Confused, he asks why Sawyer is carrying a gun. Suddenly, Doug is shot in the middle of his chest by Redfern and dies, with his blood spraying all over Sawyer. His death prompts two other survivors to come out into the open and be shot as well. ("The Shape of Things to Come")
Trivia
- Sean Douglas Hoban also worked as stand-in and stunt double for Dominic Monaghan for the role of Charlie and was chosen because of multiple similarities between himself and Monaghan.(The Lostpedia Interview:Sean Douglas Hoban)
- Doug was one of the original 7 background survivors before it was expanded to 33, and was originally cast as "Passenger #4." (The Lostpedia Interview:Sean Douglas Hoban)
- Doug seemed to have some sort of relationship with a red-haired survivor as they were seen many times together throughout their time on the island.
- Throughout Doug's appearance on the show his hair color changes. Throughout most of his time on the show, he had blond highlighted hair. On the walk up to the radio tower Doug is seen with the blond highlights in his hair. Though in "The Beginning of the End" his hair is normal, without any highlights. The highlights were, presumably, to increase his likeness to Charlie's (as Sean Douglas Hoban doubled for Charlie). Therefore, after Charlie's death, the highlights were no longer needed.
