In 2012,avideo ofJonestrashing the comedy, calling it “filth,” surfaced online. The footage was from a15-minute religious testimonial for Forerunner Chronicles, an Alabama-based Seventh-day Adventist ministry.
Jones later apologized for “showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed.”
The actor soon left the series, but returned for the finale in 2015.
Jones, who earned a reported $350,000 per episode during his final season as a full-time cast member on the CBS sitcom, told Houston TV station KHOU that the show”was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people, and I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t okay with it, but I was still doing it.”
Until an uncredited 2023 notch on his IMDb from the Max series Bookie, his last acting credit was Louis C.K.‘s 2016 limited seriesHorace & Pete.
Jones attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, living what he called a “normal existence,” he told People in 2016.“I got pretty doomsday with my thinking for a long time, but now I’m having fun and enjoying where I’m at,” he added. “I no longer feel like every step I take is on a land mine.”
