Career

Jones began acting in small parts in film and TV in the late ’70s. A supporting role in the 1983 Rodney Dangerfield film Easy Money, and a guest shot on Remington Steele led to his replacing Ian Richardson in Forman’s 1984 adaptation of the Peter Shaffer play Amadeus as Emperor Joseph II, to whom he bore an uncanny resemblance. Jones’ performance in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off made him a cultural icon. Rooney, self-important and obsessed with catching the chronically truant Ferris Bueller, became a symbol of stuffed-shirt pomposity and authoritarian hatefulness. Jones has proven to be a favorite of director Tim Burton’s, starring in Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, and Sleepy Hollow, and has also appeared in such prominent films as The Hunt for Red October, Howard the Duck, Houseguest, The Devil’s Advocate, and Stuart Little.
