Actor Gene Jones

Gene Jones

Gene Jones is an American character actor known for his roles in No Country for Old Men (2007), The Hateful Eight (2015), and The Sacrament (2013), for which he received a Fangoria Chainsaw Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Raised in Louisiana, Jones spent nearly 30 years acting in theater before landing his role in No Country for Old Men (2007) as a gas station owner who plays a game of "heads or tails" with the killer Anton Chigurh. Following this, he appeared in small roles on television shows like Louie and House of Cards. He was cast in Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) due to director Sam Raimi’s appreciation of his voice. That same year, he took on a leading role as a cult leader named Father in The Sacrament (2013), a part he secured after director Ti West saw his performance as a pharmacist in Louie and requested a video audition.
