Jones
was
best
known
as
the
son
of
Jon
Cryer‘s sadsack
divorcé
(and
nephew
of
Charlie
Sheen‘s
playboy
songwriter) on
the ’00s
hit
sitcom Two
and
a
Half
Men.
In
2012, a video
of Jones trashing
the
comedy,
calling
it “filth,”
surfaced
online.
The
footage
was
from
a 15-minute
religious
testimonial
for
Forerunner
Chronicles,
an
Alabama-based
Seventh-day
Adventist
ministry.
Jones
later
apologized
for “showing
indifference
to
and
disrespect
of
my
colleagues
and
a
lack
of
appreciation
of
the
extraordinary
opportunity
of
which
I
have
been
blessed.”
The
actor
soon
left
the
series,
but
returned
for
the
finale
in
2015.
Jones,
who
earned
a
reported
$350,000
per
episode
during
his
final
season
as
a
full-time
cast
member
on
the
CBS
sitcom,
told
Houston
TV
station
KHOU
that
the
show “was
making
light
of
topics
in
our
world
that
are
really
problems
for
a
lot
of
people,
and
I
was
a
paid
hypocrite
because
I
wasn’t
okay
with
it,
but
I
was
still
doing
it.”
Until
an
uncredited
2023
notch
on
his
IMDb
from
the
Max
series
Bookie,
his
last
acting
credit
was
Louis
C.K.‘s
2016
limited
series Horace
&
Pete.
Jones
attended
the
University
of
Colorado
at
Boulder,
living
what
he
called
a “normal
existence,”
he
told
People
in
2016. “I
got
pretty
doomsday
with
my
thinking
for
a
long
time,
but
now
I’m
having
fun
and
enjoying
where
I’m
at,”
he
added. “I
no
longer
feel
like
every
step
I
take
is
on
a
land
mine.”
