Career
Dust to Dust (1994)
Jones auditioned for Dust to Dust after a teacher of his allowed him to read part of the film's screenplay.[2] It was his first full-length film which he co-starred alongside Robert Vaughn and Willie Nelson. At 23, he played a 16 year old cowboy named Billy, who lived on a valuable watering hole property. Vaughn played an untrustworthy mayor who tried to take over his land and Nelson played a lawyer. Jones compared the production of the film to a religious experience that changed him in his heart.[1]
