your job is but if there's anything like mine was it's to roll up drunks twiddle your thumbs not ask too many questions but my son has spent the last 18 months bringing democracy to a hole and serving his country initially the readers wanted Clint Eastwood for this role the latter liked it but still refused however he offered the directors to give this role to our hero with whom he is close friends Tommy did a great job and received a nomination for an Oscar in 2007 Jones played the sheriff in the Thriller No Country for Old Men the action in the film takes place in Texas but for financial reasons they filmed it in Las Vegas you know might not even have been no money that's possible but you don't believe it no probably I don't however Tommy convinced the directors the Cohen Brothers to shoot several scenes in West Texas this role brought the actor nominations for the bafta award and the Screen Actor Guild award in two categories in the end the movie won one award for best cast moreover the film won four Oscars out of eight nominations also No Country For Old man and David finer zodiac took fifth place in the rating of the 21st Century's best films Lee Jones's fee for the

Studio superhero film Captain America the First Avenger and dramas The Company Men and the sunset Limited in the latter he also acted as a director and producer anyway people who are always looking out for perfect strangers are very often people who won't look out for the ones they're supposed to look out for in my opinion if you're just doing what you supposed to you don't get to be a hero by the way during the same period Tommy was considered for the role of Luke Hobbs in Fast Five but in the end the directors preferred Dwayne Johnson in 2012 Lee Jones starred in the third installment of the Men in Black franchise the comedy drama Hope Springs the military drama Emperor and the biographical drama Lincoln in the latter he appeared as a member of the US House of Representatives fadus Stevens I'm sorry I was under the misapprehension your chosen profession was politics never trusted the president never trusted anyone but hasn't he surprised you no Mr Stevens he hasn't although the role in this film was minor it became one of the brightest in his career our hero won the screen actor's guild award and received nominations for bafta Golden Globe and Oscar in 2013 Tommy starred in

Cowboys the following year the actor starred in the Thriller wander and the crime comedy The Comeback Trail I'm totally washed up I have no desire whatsoever to make any kind of a goddamn comeback I just want to die lately Tommy has been appearing less and less on the Silver Screen nevertheless he recently starred in the drama the burial and the audience is waiting for the premiere of the Thriller finest kind in which Jones will appear with Jenna Ortega on February 28th the actor recorded a touching appeal to ukrainians he condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stressed that ukrainians would become even stronger in the end at the same time Tommy Lee Jones said that despite all the horrors of the war ukrainians have not only preserved their Humanity but are also an example of how to take care of each other to date the net worth of our actor is around $100 million earned not only by royalties for films but also by advertising contracts previously Tommy Lee Jones was in

with the latter brought him about $2 million a year the actor owned several properties in 2002 he bought separate plots for about $4.5 million in Wellington Florida then he combined them into one large Ranch covering around 50 acres on the territory there is an estate with an area of 11,000 ft which includes spacious living rooms and a modern kitchen but this is not the the main advantage of the real estate it also has two Stables that can accommodate up to 48 horses four paddocks well-groomed horse trails a big Polo Field and an artificial lake with several islands by the way Tommy loves not only horses but also dogs the ranch is considered one of the best in the world being an avid poolo fan Jones often provided it for competitions and amateur games in 1993 his team even won the Western challenge cup of the USA polo Association however in 2013 our hero put the ranch up for sale for 26.75 million but managed to sell it only 6 years later for $1.5 million the reason for the sale was the lack of time because he also owns two houses in Texas as mentioned earlier the man also owns a ranch in California a Manion in Perell Hills Texas and a property at the polo Country Club
