Sam J Jones

Sam J. Jones (né le 12 août 1954 à Chicago, Illinois) est un acteur américain, souvent crédité sous le nom Sam Jones. Il est notamment connu pour avoir joué dans Flash Gordon. Habitué à des rôles de héros dans des films d'action, il a également souvent tourné en tant que "méchant" depuis le début des années 1990.
Jones a fait sa première apparition au cinéma dans Elle en 1979, donnant la réplique à Bo Derek. Il est aujourd'hui largement plus célèbre pour avoir incarné le héros de comics Flash Gordon au cinéma en 1980. A l'époque, la critique du film avait été assez mauvaise, ce qui fit stagner sa carrière. Il s'est alors tourné vers la télévision et les films d'action à petit budget, notamment en jouant Chris Rorchek dans la série Code Red en 1981 et 1982. On le retrouve plus récemment dans Obsession Kills et Fists of Iron (1995), American Strays (1996), American Tigers (1996) et Gangland and Psychotic (2002). Ses plus grands succès restent tout de même les comédies romantiques My Chauffeur (1986) et Jane and the Lost City, un film de 1987 basé sur une bande dessinée britannique.
