In 1997 Tommy Lee Jones went to Florida to play polo and he and his now wife went to a restaurant and I had the pleasure of waiting on him. I did such a great job that he requested me every Thursdays. Thank you so much for the huge tips... 😘
Tommy Lee Jones is legendary and evokes absolute excellence in any role he has embarked on.His best, in my opinion,was his portrayal of Ty Cobb, a remarkable example of being a master in his craft.Bravo
Tommy Lee jones: Give me my private life, but attend my rally's for libnuts, and watch my movies. And yes, overlook my rudeness at the LaFonda Restaurant, or at the race tract, or when I shoot a deer and can't find it. I will call the local dog trackers. Once they find the deer, I will tell them "Get the hell off my ranch and never come back"! Just a few of rumors going around San Antonio.
@@keetonplace are you serious mate, you can see that tommy lee Jones is a antisocial prick just from his interviews and his behavior towards co-workers, he's a Harvard snob who thinks he's better than everyone because he went Harvard, he's an arrogant insecure person who might think that the world only revolves around him
Yes, Tommy Lee, is one my favorite actors as well. He is manly and has gravitas which sets him apart from 99.99% of the actors currently working in Hollywood.
Fantastic Actor! Tommy has talent to spare! As to personality, why do we need him to be anything but "what he is!"? "Let's love him as we see him". I really never understand why we cannot accept people as they are without looking for perfection in everyone. We cannot even get perfaction in ourselves. I respect his candidness & find it refreshing! Many thanks for the video! ❤
Tommy Lee is one of a kind. Just to see his name on a production you just want to see it. I was twelve when the Rat Patrol was on air. My father didn't miss it neither would I. One of the best Actor of our time.
I was just breaking into the special effects world on my first big show, Volcano. After months of prep at location, the first shooting night came, and Tommy Lee was on the Wilshire exterior set. MY boss said, "Go tell Tommy Lee how that hydrolics gag works," (where he jumps on his undulating car's hood with his daughter in his arms), after which having done so, I walked off, thinking to myself, this job rocks! He was polite, focused and cool as you might imagine. :)
Was impressed by his enormous real life presence when I saw him walking through Central Park back in the '80s - big guy with a very confident strut. He was awesome in The Fugitive, and moreover Lonesome Dove.
Tommy's father retired in La Feria Texas and lived two blocks from my home. Mr. Jones came to dinner several times and Tommy lived in his house for a short time. Tommy scouted film locations in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and appeared in "Hard Times" with Sally Field that was filmed there. The last time I saw Tommy he was with Al Gore on a Rural Em[powement Zone trip to the Valley. Tommy asked me if they got the new football field built in La Feria. He has many iconic roles but to me he is "Doolittle Lynn". That character fits my personal recollections of Tommy's demeanor. He looks now just like his father did when I knew him. Robert Cornelison
Saw him in a restaurant in Fredericksburg, Texas. Waiter informed us he does not like to be bothered with fans asking for photo or autographs Still love him!
@@harperstacey9604 He was quite gracious to fans when filming Double Jeopardy in New Orleans. He interrupted a scene to acknowledge and greet his fans of which he knew many were from Texas.
I agree and there was no mention of the first part in which I became familiar with him which was the his portrayal of the convicted murderer Gary Gilmore in the two part television movie based on the Pulitzer Price winning non fiction novel by Norman Mailer in 1982 with Jones portraying Gilmore. Gilmore had murdered gas station attendant Max Jensen in Orem, Utah on July 19, 1976 and the next night murdered motel clerk Bennie Bushnell a motel clerk and BYU student in Provo, Utah the next night July 20, 1976. Some thought his contentious relationship with his Nicole Baker a twice married 19 year old female whom he at first had a casual relationship with but later turned into a very intense and strained one because of Gilmore's propensity for violence and use of drugs and alcohol. Gilmore was the first man to be executed after the reinstatement of the death penalty that same year. Gilmore's choice of dying was by firing squad. He reportedly stated when asked it he had any last words said "Let's do it." Jones was very believable in the part of doomed man. But as far as I'm concerned his best portrayal was that of bedraggled and weary Texas Sheriff Tom Bell in the Coen Brothers film version of Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men."
I think there are a lot of roles that he has played that there just is not enough time to mention all of them. He is a great actor and one of my all time favorite actors!
@@thomasseery7570 I agree. I was very surprised to find that movie here on RUclips. I watch it occasionally. It amazes me that some have never even heard of it.
@@roseyred72 I watched it as a kid many yearS ago when Gilmore was all over the news for demanding the death penalty be bestowed on him and the movie came out hot king after he was executed and Tommy was just brilliant as him.
The scene where he practically beats almost to death, the army scout who was abusing his boy Newt is by far my favorite all time scene!! I can watch it over and over and not get enough!!
Yes, he was! My favorite part was when he whooped the Calvery guy who was abusing Newt and trying to steal his horse saying, I don't like rudeness in A man and won't tolerate it. That was the best!
Then you were one of the lucky ones. When I worked with him on No County he would belittle just about everyone. He told a hair/makeup girl that she was a disgrace to her profession. He is not a nice guy.
@@debmar5771 I never put up with his B.S., I would give it right back at him...he would laugh and say Collin, we're gonna get along just fine... and we always did.
Any of his movies , I consider iconic for Tommy Lee. I always love the way he says his lines without any excuses or qualms; and always directed to the other person, point blank.
In a behind the scenes clip of "No country for old man" Josh Brolin said TLJ was giving him tips on the way a real Texan would behave because Tommy was from Texas..Josh smiled and said he did that over , and over , and over lol
one of my favorite actors and I loved him In the Electric Mist, now everytime I read a Dave Robicheaux book I see Tommy in every page. Awesome actor and who cares if he doesn't want people to know anything about his personal life. They are people too. He deserves his privacy.
My favorite Tommy Lee Jones movie was Based on a book by Elmer Kelton, The Good Ole Boys. This is an awesome movie. Excellent actor, and true Cowboy. I was raised 30 miles from him in Llano , Texas.
Mine too. I used to tease my husband about how I was moving to San Saba just so I could stalk him and he would see me, fall madly in love with me and I would be Mrs. Jones....ah a young woman's fantasy.
@@rosemaryarmstrong9558 I seen that just a few moments ago on Fact Verses. I didn't watch soaps so I woulda never known that. Really neat to know anyway!
TLJ has that elusive charm most people look for and néver find nor master in Life - any film he stars in is just great fun...one néver knows what to expect as his sense of humour is totally in its own class : ‘different’!
Looking at TLJones, you'd never see the power and professionalism that allowed him to take over films, whether it was Lonesome Dove, The Fugitive, or Under Siege. The voice and command presence was always exciting to witness. Just look at Lonesome Dove; he was not an experienced rider but did scenes that most riders would never dream of attempting...I do wish he'd been in Men in Black in a serious rendition, playing out the actual (alleged) events associated with said mysterious men...
Yep. Jones is just a very entertaining actor. Very believable. One of the best ever and one of my favorites. I'll watch just because he's in the movie. Hasn't disappointed me yet.
I was a movie extra on the movie, THE FUGITIVE. I had wanted to be with Harrison Ford since he's my favorite actor but instead I worked with Tommy Lee for 4 days playing a secretary for the FBI agents. I KNEW he was going to win the Oscar for his performance. He was in character the entire time. He had one extra removed from the set in a scene because she was sitting across the stage from him, but she kept staring at him. She was disturbing his concentration so she was moved to another section. But when they called us down for lunch, we had 4 flights we had to walk down and it was fortune to walk next to him. I was amazed to see that he's not tall. He's only about 5' 6" but very, very thin. I could not talk to him or I would have been fired so I was content to walk next to him. I had no idea he speaks Spanish. I'm Mexican so maybe I could of just said HELLO in SPANISH!
Several movies come to mind as favorites. Of course, Lonesome Dove is my all time favourite. The Park is Mine, Executioners Song, The Missing, The Hunted, Space Cowboys, The Electric Mist, JFK. Mike Pardue ✌
Okay, so what's so 'shocking'. The man has had a marvelously successful career, and I'm a big fan. Oh, and 'Coal Miner's Daughter', is my favorite performance.
He first caught my eye in the soap opera, One Life to Live as a murderous doctor but I just love him as Texas Ranger Woodrow F. Call in the television miniseries Lonesome Dove! Be still my heart!!
I'm am one of 6 generations and my son and Grandsons make 8. That is what we call pioneers of Texas. Tommy is the the same and we are so proud of him as he portrays the pioneers so well. Long live Yommy
Such a talented and classy guy. Makes me proud to be American when guys like him epitomize the culture. 80 years old and still on his game. 'Finestkind' just proved that again recently. (edit) Highly recommend that movie also. I live on the block where it was filmed in MA. They nailed it.
I enjoyed all his movies ....along with Charles Bronson I fell in love with both their voices......how crazy is that..lol....and I can't forget Sam Elliot's voice. Oh dream on girl....lol
I HOPE YOU CAN RESPOND BACK BUT I HAVE TO SAY Finally! Your back! I don't know your name meaning you the narrator but im glad to hear you. I started watching facts verse with you narrating it and even if i didn't care for it i still watched it cause you always found a way to make it interesting and make me laugh. So keep up the good work and can't wait for more thank you. No offense to the other guy but he would lose my interest but he did do a good job again thank you and thank you facts verse.
I worked with him. I was one of many background artist out of many who played Aliens 👽 in human form in the first Men In Black. I was in the first MIB HQ'S shot.
I've always enjoyed him in every show. He's charismatic, mysterious & gorgeous.
Oh my. I agree he's absolutely gorgeous. It's been many years since I 1st seen him act and still think he is a sexy beast!
Same here, Nickie!
I agree. Other commenters here have worked with him and said that he's rude. But, I can't help it - I still think he's mysterious and sexy!
He's one of those actors where every part he plays he is simply good.
How true!
I equate him with James Woods.
@@bernardliu8526 I totally agree
Loved him in The Missing
with Cate Blanchett
Even in a turd sandwich like Man of the House

I don’t blame Tommy Lee Jones for being private about his life.What’s wrong with that?
Private life, but give me the money. Biggest asshole in Hollywood. Bigger than Richard Chamberlin if you can believe that.

Gravitas is the perfect word for what he has.

Played a good part in The Executioners Song .
Tommy Lee is one of a kind. Just to see his name on a production you just want to see it. I was twelve when the Rat Patrol was on air. My father didn't miss it neither would I. One of the best Actor of our time.

If he doesn't want to be bothered by fans, he shouldn't have become an actor. Fans make actors popular.

The Sunset Limited by far.
With Samuel L. Jackson. Litle known.

He’s a brilliant actor. Ever since he played Gary Gilmore. He can play drama or comedy with ease. A legend. With a great actor’s face.

When scrolling through the movies, I will watch something by Tommy Lee Jones everytime.
In my opinion, Tommy’s finest roll was that of Woodrow F. Call in Lonesome Dove.

Iam terribly impressed by his role in Men in a black. I became a fan of his from those three movies.
EXCELLENT ACTOR,...”COALMINERS DAUGHTER”🤩🤩
Love that movie 🎥
It is now playing on Tubi for free. I watched it last weekend.
I have always enjoyed him and I agree that Woodrow CALL IN LONESOME DOVE WAS ONE OF TOMMY LEE JONES BEST.
One of my favorite movies he starred in was Executioner`s Song. The true story about Gary Gilmore, about his crimes and how he died.
Loved him in Lonesome Dove!!! One of my favorites!!!! First movie I saw him in was Nate and Hayes!!!
He was so good in it, Amy!

I always thought Josh Hartnett looked enough like him they could play father and son in a movie. I love Tommy Lee❤

Grew up watching Your films
39 Age here God bless Mr. JONES MUCH RESPECT
Hell of an actor but people around where he lives do not care about meeting him because he treats them like crap
If you leave him alone I bet he does the same for you! He’s not running for office so he owes nothing to the nosy public!
Could not give FV a 👍having neglected Lonesome Dove which is by far Tommy Lee Jones most significant acting achievement.
I think that most of us feel the the same way! " mind your own business " ! That should be the " golden rule "!

Such a talented and classy guy. Makes me proud to be American when guys like him epitomize the culture. 80 years old and still on his game. 'Finestkind' just proved that again recently. (edit) Highly recommend that movie also. I live on the block where it was filmed in MA. They nailed it.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Tommy. He's one of our favorite actors.
@@FactsVerse he always delivers and then some. I have zero negative associations with his work. What a talent.
Lonesome Dove... best part ever
Hello Kimberly
Best actor of our time.

I agree. Fellow Texan
I love Tommy Lee Jones in everyone of his movies I have watched. He is a legend.
You're a true fan! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Always liked tommy and it’s good how he avoids media and interviews
I enjoyed all his movies ....along with Charles Bronson I fell in love with both their voices......how crazy is that..lol....and I can't forget Sam Elliot's voice. Oh dream on girl....lol

I can't believe "Lonesome Dove" wasn't mentioned. As a western fanatic I would like to know what he thought of his costars in this movie.
Lonesome Dove is the movie I remember him best, a movie I have watched at least a dozen times it was so good.
I HOPE YOU CAN RESPOND BACK BUT I HAVE TO SAY
Finally! Your back! I don't know your name meaning you the narrator but im glad to hear you. I started watching facts verse with you narrating it and even if i didn't care for it i still watched it cause you always found a way to make it interesting and make me laugh. So keep up the good work and can't wait for more thank you. No offense to the other guy but he would lose my interest but he did do a good job again thank you and thank you facts verse.
I think he's very good looking and one of the best actor's in Hollywood
Tommy was great in the 1997 film Volcano; playing the OEM Manager; and rescuing his daughter from the volcano; with lots of help from Ann Heche!
I worked with him. I was one of many background artist out of many who played Aliens 👽 in human form in the first Men In Black. I was in the first MIB HQ'S shot.
Tommy the man. Awsome act. 😎👍
His role as Huey Calloway in Good Old Boys is my favorite. I believe he produced and directed it as well.
What about Lonesome Dove ,great part in that Series.
