Tommy Lee Jones is a famous American actor best known for his stolidly reserved portrayals of law enforcement officers, military personnel, and cowboys. He was born in San Saba, Texas, on September 15, 1946.
Jones was the lone child of an oil field laborer and his wife, a cosmetologist, educator, and law enforcement official.
Jones stayed in the country after his father accepted a job offer abroad because he had a football scholarship that allowed him to enroll in a prestigious Dallas boarding school.
He became interested in theater there and participated in school performances.
Later, Jones enrolled at Harvard University, where he shared a dorm with Al Gore, a future vice president of the United States.
Jones was a member of the football team and famously took part in the famous 1968 Harvard-Yale game that ended in a tie.
He also continued to perform in campus theater productions and with repertory companies during the summers.
