Tommy Lee Jones
ACTOR FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES )
FILMMAKER FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
Tommy Lee Jones has worked in the movie business since the early 1970s, but he didn't become a star until the late 80s/early 90s through roles in such productions as Lonesome Dove, JFK and The Fugitive. That was twenty years after he had made his debut with a small role in Arthur Hiller's success Love Story and subsequently paying his dues in television work and bit parts. When he first came to prominence, however, Jones filled a niche that made him an instant audience favourite. Usually in supporting roles, Jones brings a combination of edge and softness to his roles. His deep, sad eyes, weathered skin and friendly smile make him a compatible choice. From the 1990s, Jones even stepped up to leading roles in films such as The Client and Men in Black. In 2005, Jones made his directorial debut with the western The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada for which he won the Best Actor award in Cannes and was nominated for the Golden Palm.
