    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.

    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. :)

    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

    • @roymerritt6992

      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."

    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...

    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!
