Brian Jones BIO

Brian Jones

Brian started acting at the young age of 36, when he took a chance on an open audition for "1940's Radio Hour" at the Pasadena Little Theatre in Pasadena, TX. Despite forgetting the lyrics to his audition piece and being helped through it by the several other actors waiting for their turn in the "audience," Directors Cheri Ivey and Kathy Dietz saw something promising and cast him in a supporting role that steals the show in the end - 17 year old delivery boy, Wally Ferguson. With 45 roles in theatre, musical theatre, and film, Brian's past 7 years of acting have been busy and exciting.
The consummate professional, Brian never exceeds his mandate by upstaging the show or other actors...unless the director gives him permission to do so, and then it's on baby! When director Arnold Richie told him to “invent the character” and “go over the top” with his unassuming role as Bingo Announcer in the short play “Bingo!” by Jim Bain for the 2010 festival of comedy competition, Over the top he went. By creating his own lines and a 1970’s game show host persona, Brian stole the show and the competition. Despite “bingo!” not actually being a candidate in the competition, it was an unofficial winner by applause and unintended write-in votes.
Excellent comedic timing, an uncanny empathy for dramatic roles, and a can and will-do attitude to tackle any acting challenge have allowed Brian to work side-by-side with professional stage and screen actors despite having no formal acting training. “I’ve learned in the trenches of community theatre and draw-on my own experiences in life,” Said Jones when queried by the creative director of the renowned Alley Theatre in Houston, TX following an open audition. That audition later provided the fuel for a referral to the equally touted Ensemble Theatre in Houston where Brian is just finishing a 4-week run in the hilarious comedy, “Lotto: Experience the Dream.”
