Samuel Gerald Jones (born August 12, 1954), known professionally as Sam J. Jones, is an American actor. He is best known for playing the title character in the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

Early life[edit]

Jones was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in Sacramento, California, where he graduated from Mira Loma High School in 1972.[citation needed]

Career[edit]

He made his first film appearance in the 1979 romantic comedy film 10.[1] His appearance in 10 allowed him to beat Kurt Russell and Arnold Schwarzenegger for his most famous role, that of Flash Gordon in the 1980 film of the same name.[2] Jones dyed his hair blonde for this role. The film was moderately successful at the box office grossing $27.1M in North America, and $22m in the UK - double its $20M budget. However, a falling out between Jones and the producers helped to scrap the planned trilogy.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Jones married Lynn Eriks in 1982; they had two children and divorced in 1987. He married Ramona Lynn Jones on June 26, 1992; they had four children.[citation needed]
