Sympathetic actor, I liked watching him.

Fun fact: being especially famous for his voice (=Darth Vader), German studios gave him a very good German dubbing voice as well that matched his physical appearance and roles very well. Dubbing is standard in Germany, and probably nobody does it as well as the German studios (usually). Original sound and subtitles in foreign movies, common in many other countries, are very rarely used in Germany.

One of his strongest performances, IMO, was in a tawdry made-for-TV movie.

Sorry about the quality, but you post what you can get.

His scene where he describes what was going on when they were first abducted (under hypnosis) is a true tour-de-force.

I posted the whole movie so you can watch three Broadway legends at the top of their game.

Role: Admiral James Greer

In this Cold War thriller, based on Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan book series, Jones plays Admiral James Greer, the CIA’s gruff deputy director. He helps Ryan hunt down a Soviet nuclear submarine that is fast approaching America. The twist, Ryan discovers, is that the Soviet submarine captain is planning to defect rather than launch a nuclear attacksomething he has to work hard to convince Greer of. (Spoiler: The crisis is averted.)

“I’m a politician, which means I’m a cheat and a liar, and when I’m not kissing babies, I’m stealing their lollipops.”
“Welcome to the CIA, sport.”
“You think this is a game, Jack? People are going to die.”
“He’s defecting, Jack. And if he isn’t, then I’ll kill him myself.”
“Now understand, Commanderthat torpedo did not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull. And I … was never here.”
“It’s a game of chess, Jack. It’s all about moves and countermoves.”
