Gene Jones is an American character actor, who appeared in No Country for Old Men (2007),[1] The Hateful Eight (2015) and The Sacrament (2013), with the latter earning him a nomination for a Fangoria Chainsaw Award as Best Supporting Actor.[2]

Biography

[edit]

Jones grew up in Louisiana. 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 plays a game of "heads or tails" with killer Anton Chigurh.[3][4][5] 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.[3] That same year, he received a lead role as a cult leader named Father in The Sacrament (2013). Jones got the part after director Ti West saw his role as a pharmacist in Louie and asked him to send in a video audition.[6][7][8]
