Tommy Lee Jones

About: Born September 15, 1946, in San Saba, Texas, Tommy Lee Jones attended St. Mark's Prep School in Dallas and won a scholarship to Harvard (where his roommate was Al Gore). After graduation, Jones appeared on Broadway, made his film debut in Love Story (1970) and appeared on the daytime soap "One Life to Live."From there, he went to Los Angeles for roles in both TV ("The Amazing Howard Hughes") and film (Coal Miner's Daughter, Stormy Monday). As mystery man Clay Shaw in Oliver Stone's JFK (1991), Jones was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar; he won that award three years later as Marshal Gerard in The Fugitive -- a role he reprised in U.S. Marshals (1998).Jones's steely delivery was a perfect foil to Will Smith in the 1997 hit sci-fi satire Men in Black and its 2002 sequel. He earned a lead-actor Oscar nod for his role in In the Valley of Elah.
