context_page_description: Guillermo del Toro Gómez is a Mexican filmmaker, author, actor, and former special effects makeup artist. He is best known for the Academy Award-winning fantasy films Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, winning the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture for the latter.
  Throughout his career, del Toro has shifted between personal, lower-budget Spanish language films, such as Cronos and The Devil's Backbone, and Hollywood tentpoles, including Mimic, Blade II, Hellboy and its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pacific Rim, and Crimson Peak. As a producer and/or writer, he worked on The Orphanage, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, The Hobbit film series, Mama, The Book of Life, Pacific Rim: Uprising, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
  With Chuck Hogan, he co-authored The Strain trilogy of novels, later adapted into a comic-book series and a live-action television series. With DreamWorks Animation, he created the Netflix animated series Trollhunters, 3Below, and Wizards, the three installments of the Tales of Arcadia trilogy, based on the 2015 novel he co-wrote with Daniel Kraus.
