Tommy Lee JonesTommy Lee Jones
Actor
If there’s such a thing as an unsociable Hollywood actor, it would have to be Tommy Lee Jones. One of the most talented leading men working today, Jones won an Oscar for his role in The Fugitive and is a Best Actor nominee this year for his performance in In the Valley of Elah. He also can boast of having lived across the hall from former Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore while the two were students at Harvard. Yet at the age of 61, this prominent actor and director tends to stay out of the limelight, preferring to spend time playing polo at his ranch in Texas and enjoying a good book.
