In 1997 Tommy Lee Jones went to Florida to play polo and he and his now wife went to a restaurant and I had the pleasure of waiting on him. I did such a great job that he requested me every Thursdays.
Thank you so much for the huge tips... 😘

Tommy Lee Jones is legendary and evokes absolute excellence in any role he has embarked on.His best, in my opinion, was his portrayal of Ty Cobb, a remarkable example of being a master in his craft.Bravo

Yes, Tommy Lee, is one my favorite actors as well. He is manly and has gravitas which sets him apart from 99.99% of the actors currently working in Hollywood.

Tommy Lee is one of a kind. Just to see his name on a production you just want to see it. I was twelve when the Rat Patrol was on air. My father didn't miss it neither would I. One of the best Actor of our time.

Tommy's father retired in La Feria Texas and lived two blocks from my home. Mr. Jones came to dinner several times and Tommy lived in his house for a short time. Tommy scouted film locations in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and appeared in "Hard Times" with Sally Field that was filmed there. The last time I saw Tommy he was with Al Gore on a Rural Em[powement Zone trip to the Valley. Tommy asked me if they got the new football field built in La Feria. He has many iconic roles but to me he is "Doolittle Lynn". That character fits my personal recollections of Tommy's demeanor. He looks now just like his father did when I knew him. Robert Cornelison

I was just breaking into the special effects world on my first big show, Volcano. After months of prep at location, the first shooting night came, and Tommy Lee was on the Wilshire exterior set. MY boss said, "Go tell Tommy Lee how that hydrolics gag works, " (where he jumps on his undulating car's hood with his daughter in his arms), after which having done so, I walked off, thinking to myself, this job rocks! He was polite, focused and cool as you might imagine. :)

Was impressed by his enormous real life presence when I saw him walking through Central Park back in the '80s - big guy with a very confident strut.
He was awesome in The Fugitive, and moreover Lonesome Dove.

You forgot The film Tommy was in with Wesley Snipes. Tommy is one of my favorite actors.

I think you forgot a somewhat important role he played as a Texas Ranger in "Lonesome Dove". How in the world could you leave that out?
