Is Tommy Lee Jones a good horseman?
The Academy Award-winning actor has never tried to cover up his Southern accent throughout his cinematic career, and his gruff demeanor has helped him become a Hollywood legend who can play both comedy and drama with ease.
The eighth-generation Texan never lost sight of his Texas roots or the cattle ranching way of life he was reared in, which may have been what motivated him to return home after years spent working in the entertainment world.
Outside of San Antonio, in the little community of San Saba, Jones was born.
As his father worked in the Midland oil fields, his family moved.
Jones came to Dallas to enroll at the elite all-boys prep school St. Marks School of Texas after the business sent his family abroad.
