Jeffrey Jones

Jeffrey Duncan Jones (born September 28, 1946) is an American actor known for his roles as Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus (1984), Edward R. Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Charles Deetz in Beetlejuice (1988), Dr. Skip Tyler in The Hunt for Red October (1990), Eddie Barzoon in The Devil's Advocate (1997), and A. W. Merrick in both Deadwood (2004–2006) and Deadwood: The Movie (2019). His career started in Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, and advanced to London and Broadway. In film and television, Jones has had many roles which capitalized on his deadpan portrayal of characters in unusual situations, often to comic effect. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his performance in Amadeus and a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the ensemble cast of Deadwood. In 2002, Jones was charged with soliciting a minor to pose for nude photographs. The offenses occurred in 1999 and 2000. In July 2003 he pleaded no contest and prosecutors dropped the charges for possession of child pornography. He was then sentenced to 5 years of probation and was also required to register as a sex offender for life. He had two subsequent arrests, in 2004 and 2010, for failing to update his sex offender status. For the latter incident, he was sentenced to 250 hours of community service plus 3 years of probation.
