I so agree with you, RandR. Love him in Men in Black. I could swear that he was on a soap opera I used to watch over 30 years ago. Then, all of a sudden, he caught on and became very popular in film. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

Yes. Tommy Lee Jones was on One Life to Live. He played a doctor who was in cohoots with Dorian Cramer (who became Dorian Lord). Tommy was her lover, but I think he was part of a scheme to get Victor Lord's millions.

He had a blonde wife that he treated very badly, too, unless he was on another soap. I've always liked him.

ITA

I also think he is somewhat ""hot"" for an old guy. He has s#x appeal--did moreso when he was younger.

He was equally amazing in the Fugitive imo. He's a great actor. I think I read he's very prickly in "real life".

Double Jeopardy is one of my favorite movies. I agree that Jones is an excellent actor.

Wow does that bring back memories, was the characters name Mark Toland, do not ask me how I remembered that, I think he was on the show in the early 70's

How well I recall him oh the soap! And he was good in The Fugitive and Men in Black.

Yes, Mark Toland was the character he played.

Hello, I don't think I got online yesterday to the boards..........yes he was and I don't remember which one but I see someone answered your question. I did not think he was ever really handsome and seems he played a bad guy but I have grown to like him more and more just like Jack Nicholson, I have never liked him until I saw him in Something's Gotta Give.
