Douglas Joseph "Doug" Billings is best friends with Phil and Stu, and the brother-in-law of Alan, with whom he also shares a friendship. He is the most mild-mannered of the Wolfpack. He is one of the two overarching protagonists of the trilogy (alongside Sid Garner), serving as the overarching protagonist of The Hangover, one of the three deuteragonists of The Hangover Part II (alongside Alan Garner and Dr. Stuart Price), and one of the three tritagonists of The Hangover Part III (alongside Philip Wenneck and Dr. Stuart Price).
His bachelor party trip to Las Vegas is the basis of The Hangover, although he is "lost" for the majority of the movie as the other three guys are searching for him. Stu finally puts the pieces together and figures out that they locked Doug up on the roof of Caesar's Palace, where he gets severely sunburned with no shade in the desert heat. They end up getting him back "better late than never" to his wedding, where he is forced to get married with a beet-red sunburned face. While standing before the minister, Doug tells his soon to be wife Tracy "I promise for as long as we're married, to never, ever put you through anything like this again."
The first line in the movie is Doug's answering machine message as listened to by Tracy: "Hey, you've reached Doug. Sorry I missed your call. Please leave a name and number and I'll get back to you." In The Hangover Part II, as Tracy was feeling sick and came to find him, Doug avoids getting drugged a second time and helps Phil, Stu and Alan find Teddy over the phone.
