Sir Toby Jones has always been surrounded by creative types. His parents and brother all act, and his other brother directs. While attending the University of Manchester, Toby was friends with members of the rock band Radiohead. And when the character actor became part of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter film franchise (2002-2011), he was hobnobbing with the likes of Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, and Gary Oldman. Over the years, Jones co-starred with Tilda Swinton in Orlando (1992); Drew Barrymore in Ever After (1998); Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011); Tom Hardy in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011); Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games (2012); Chris Hemsworth in Snow White and the Huntsman (2012); and Chris Pratt in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018). Toby portrayed writer Truman Capote in the biopic Infamous (2006); politician Karl Rove to Josh Brolin’s W. (2008); and filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock in the TV movie That Girl (2012). Yet we prefer his revealing role in Your Highness (2011). The comedy features Danny McBride, James Franco, Justin Theroux, and Toby’s bubble butt! If that’s not arousing enough, the nude dude goes full frontal! Yet through the magic of special effects, Jones’s jewels have been removed so he’s smooth like a Ken doll. Care to play Barbies? Whether on stage (The Play What I Wrote, The Birthday Party); on film (Atomic Blonde, Finding Neverland, Frost/Nixon); or on television (Agent Carter, Detectorists, Doctor Who, A Harlot’s Progress), the 5’ 5” performer proves good things come in small packages!
