MyTV26 Reporter Christopher Shortt interviews Samuel Gerald Jones known professionally as Sam J. Jones. He has arguably become best-known for having played the title characters in the 1980 film Flash Gordon and in The Highwayman (1987–1988). Jones was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in Sacramento, California. In 1972, after high school, Jones enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he played football. Jones made his first film appearance in the 1979 romantic comedy film 10. 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. Jones dyed his hair blonde for this role. The film was moderately successful at the box office grossing $27.1 million in North America, and $22 million in the UK: double its $20 million budget.
