But the all-American star Jones was destined to become not soon.

The first truly successful film for him was a television film adaptation of the novel by Norman Mailer's "The Song of the executioner" (1982). The role of the disillusioned in the life of the prisoner, who asked to voluntarily expose his death, brought Tommy Lee Award Emmy.
