Happy 92nd Birthday L.Q. Jones!!! 
August 19, 1927 in Beaumont, Texas
Thanks for everything, retired from acting since 2006
After serving in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1946, Jones attended Lamar Junior College and then studied law at the University of Texas at Austin from 1950 to 1951. He worked as a stand-up comic, briefly played professional baseball and football, and even tried ranching in Nicaragua before turning to acting after corresponding with his former college roommate, Fess Parker. At the time, in 1954, Parker was already in Hollywood working in films and on television.
Jones made his film debut in 1955 in Battle Cry, credited under his birth name Justus E. McQueen. His character's name in that film, however, was "L. Q. Jones", a name he liked and decided to adopt as his stage name for all of his future roles as an actor.
He became a member of Sam Peckinpah's stock company of actors, appearing in his Klondike series 1960–1961, Ride the High Country 1962, Major Dundee 1965, The Wild Bunch 1969, The Ballad of Cable Hogue 1970, and Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid 1973.
Other films include Men in War 1957, The Naked and the Dead 1958, Flaming Star 1960, Cimarron 1960, Hell Is for Heroes 1962, Hang 'Em High 1968, Stay Away, Joe 1968, The Brotherhood of Satan 1971, which he co-produced and wrote, Attack on Terror: The FBI vs. the Ku Klux Klan 1975 Lone Wolf McQuade 1983, Casino 1995, The Edge 1997, The Mask of Zorro 1998, and A Prairie Home Companion 2006.
