-'''Jeffrey Duncan Jones''' (born September 28, 1946<ref name=FDLE /><ref name=TSG />) is an American actor. He has appeared in many films and television shows, but is best known for his roles as [[Emperor Joseph II]] in [[Milos Forman]]’s [[Academy Award]] winning ''[[Amadeus (film)|Amadeus]]'', and as the infamous dean of students, Edward R. Rooney, in the 1986 [[John Hughes (film director)|John Hughes]] film ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Bueller’s Day Off]]''.
-==Early life==
-Jones was born in [[Buffalo, New York]], the son of Ruth ([[married and maiden names|née]] Schooley), an art historian who urged Jones towards a career in acting, and Douglas Bennett Jones, who died during Jones's childhood.<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/92/Jeffrey-Jones.html ''Jeffrey Jones Biography'']. Film Reference.com.</ref><ref>[http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800016391/bio ''Jeffrey Jones'']. Yahoo! Movies.</ref> Jones went to London in 1969 to study at the [[London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art]], following that up with a three-year stint with the Stratford Theatre in [[Stratford, Ontario]].
-==Career and filmography==
-Jones began acting in small parts in film and TV in the late ’70s. A supporting role in the 1983 [[Rodney Dangerfield]] film ''[[Easy Money (film)|Easy Money]]'', and a guest shot on ''[[Remington Steele]]'' led to his replacing [[Ian Richardson]] in [[Miloš Forman]]’s 1984 adaptation of the [[Peter Shaffer]] play ''[[Amadeus (film)|Amadeus]]'' as [[Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor]] [[Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Joseph II]], to whom he bore an uncanny resemblance; he received a nomination for a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture]] for his performance. Jones’ performance as Mr. Edward R. Rooney, Dean of Students in ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Bueller’s Day Off]]''  made him a cultural icon. Rooney, self-important and obsessed with catching the chronically truant Ferris Bueller, became a symbol of stuffed-shirt pomposity and authoritarian hatefulness. Jones has proven to be a favorite of director [[Tim Burton]]’s, starring in ''[[Beetlejuice]]'', ''[[Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood]]'', and ''[[Sleepy Hollow (film)|Sleepy Hollow]]'', and has also appeared in such prominent films as ''[[The Hanoi Hilton (film)|The Hanoi Hilton]]'', ''[[The Hunt for Red October (film)|The Hunt for Red October]]'', ''[[Howard the Duck (film)|Howard the Duck]]'', ''[[Houseguest]]'', ''[[The Devil's Advocate (film)|The Devil’s Advocate]]'', and ''[[Stuart Little (film)|Stuart Little]]''. Jones also had a key role in ''[[The Pest (1997 film)|The Pest]]'', a comedy starring John Leguizamo, as the evil German trying to hunt Pestario "Pest" Vargas. Other key roles for Jones include ''[[Stay Tuned (film)|Stay Tuned]]'', where he played Mr. Spike, and the 1992 comedy ''[[Mom and Dad Save the World]]'', where he played Dick Nelson. Jones was costarred in the 1999 cult favorite cannibal western ''[[Ravenous]]''.
-Jones has guested on a number of television shows, including ''[[Amazing Stories (TV series)|Amazing Stories]]'', ''[[Tales from the Crypt (TV series)|Tales from the Crypt]]'', and ''[[Wayside (TV series)|Wayside]]''. In 1989, Jones starred in [[Wes Craven]]’s short-lived CBS sitcom ''[[The People Next Door]]'', where he played a cartoonist whose imagination could make things come to life. He also appeared as famous newspaper publisher [[A. W. Merrick]] on HBO’s highly acclaimed show ''[[Deadwood (TV series)|Deadwood]]''. His latest film, ''[[Who's Your Caddy?]]'', debuted in 2007.
-==Sex offense arrest and conviction==
-In 2002, Jones was arrested for possession of [[child pornography]] and employing a 14-year-old boy to pose for pornographic photographs.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/showbiz/2502963.stm ''Ferris Bueller star denies porn charges''].
