Early life

Jones was born 27 July 1950,[1] in Charlton Park, Wiltshire, England.[2] When young, his family moved to Broad Town near Wootton Bassett (before it was Royal), travelling often to visit elderly aunts in Salisbury.[3] Jones studied at King's College, Taunton, before going up to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, at age 25. [3]

Career

Jones appeared in various television series, including Brideshead Revisited,[4] in which he played the Earl of Brideshead, or 'Bridey', heir to the Marquess of Marchmain,[2] and the second series of Blackadder (1986),[5] playing Sir Walter Raleigh in the episode "Potato".[5] His films have included Club Paradise (1986),[2] Privates on Parade (1982),[2] Miracle on 34th Street[2] and The Devil's Own (1997).[1]

Jones was studying at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he was a member of the Footlights and met Douglas Adams.[1] This led to him being cast in Out of the Trees and later The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[1] The latter project, a radio broadcast from 1978, would be the first of Jones's several portrayals of Arthur Dent; Adams claimed to Jones that he wrote the part of Dent with him in mind.[6] In Monty Python's The Meaning of Life,[1] Jones had a minor role as one of the guests at the dinner party which is interrupted by the Grim Reaper. He has also appeared in some of the solo film projects of the members of Monty Python: Privates on Parade (with John Cleese),[2] American Friends (1991) with Michael Palin.[5] He appeared in the Terry Gilliam film Brazil (1985) alongside Jonathan Pryce and Robert De Niro,[2] also worked alongside Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys (1995).[1]

Jones has appeared in many Broadway plays, including The Real Thing (1985),[7] as Max, Benefactors (1985),[7] as Colin, Getting Married (1991),[4] as Reginald Bridgenorth, Private Lives (1992),[7] as Elyot Chase, The Real Inspector Hound,[7] (as Moon) and The Fifteen Minute Hamlet (as Hamlet - which played together in 1992),[4] The School for Scandal (1995),[7] as Joseph Surface, Ring Round the Moon (1999),[4] as Romainville and as Perry Lascoe in Waiting in the Wings (1999).[7]

In 2009, Jones appeared in Blithe Spirit,[1] as Dr. Bradman, supported by Angela Lansbury and Rupert Everett; and in 2018 he portrayed John Rich, in Farinelli and the King starring Mark Rylance, from January through March. Off-Broadway he has a long list of credits, and was nominated for the 1990 Drama Desk Award Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play for his role in Privates on Parade.[7]

In regional theatre at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, Jones starred as Christopher Gore in the American premier of Brian Friel's The Home Place in late 2007; he returned there in late 2008 to portray C.

In 2011, Jones played Piero Soderini in Divine Rivalry — a new play by Michael Kramer, directed by Michael Wilson, and produced by the Shubert Organisation – at the Hartford Stage Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut. Jones had played this part in several previous readings of the play. Later in the year, he was in a new musical version of Death Takes a Holiday, from the book by Tom Meehan and Peter Stone, with music by Maury Yeston; it. It ran in New York City, at the Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre, from 7 July to 4 September. A CD was released shortly afterwards.

From there, Jones returned to London, where he attended the opening night of No Naughty Bits, at the Hampstead Theatre on 13 September. The play, by Steve Thompson, was the story of Jones's wife, Nancy Lewis, and the Monty Python team's lawsuit against ABC-TV in America.

Jones then appeared (in the role of Sir Francis Beekman), with Megan Hilty starring in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at ENCORES! concert series at City Center in New York City, which also resulted in CD. Later in the year, he went to the UK, where he starred in a national stage tour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – Live![4]

In the summer of 2013, Jones went to East Hampton, New York, where Tony Walton directed him in a production of Tonight at 8:30, featuring three of Noël Coward's short plays. Blythe Danner was the co-star, and they performed "Hands Across the Sea", "Family Album" and "Red Peppers". This was followed by another UK stage tour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – Live![4]

The tour of Blithe Spirit, starring Angela Lansbury, then went to London's West End in early 2014.[4] This was accompanied by an appearance at a special cabaret (organised by co-star Janie Dee) at the Cafe de Paris, where he sang "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". That June, he portrayed Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus, starring Rupert Everett.
