Jones was born in Houston, Texas, the son of Frances Marie (née Vieregge) and Fred Edward Jones.[1] Jones' career as a drummer had him backing up such artists as Trini Lopez and Johnny Rivers.
In 1966, he was the drummer backing Bob Dylan on his world tour, replacing the aggravated Levon Helm, with the other members of what would become The Band. This tour included the infamous bootlegged "Royal Albert Hall" concert. Later Jones joined the band The First Edition with Kenny Rogers and recorded several international hits.[2]
After the break-up of The First Edition in 1975, Jones concentrated his career as a character actor where he has made dozens of appearances in films and television. Jones starred in the short lived 1980 spin-off television series Flo as Chester, and is well known in the science fiction community for his role as Chris Farber in the mini series V. Jones also had a recurring role on the television show Home Improvement. He stars also in the Thriller film Downstream, which stars alongside Billy Drago, Joseph Whipp, Lenny Von Dohlen and was directed by Simone Bartesaghi, Philip Kim and Neil Kinsella.[3]
