Biography Jones grew up in Olla, Louisiana, and attended LaSalle High School.

He acted in theater productions for nearly 30 years before being cast in No Country for Old Men (2007) as the gas station proprietor who is forced to play a game of "heads or tails" with killer Anton Chigurh. In a later interview, co-star Javier Bardem described Jones's performance in their scene as "brilliant". From there, Jones received bit parts in television shows like Louie and House of Cards. He was cast in Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) because director Sam Raimi liked his voice.
