Tropes regarding his roles:



* {{Cowboy}}: In RealLife as well as some of his roles. He owns at least two ranches, one of which was the setting for ''Film/TheThreeBurialsOfMelquiadesEstrada'', a film he also directed and starred in.
** He also speaks fluent Spanish, likely due to his being born and raised in West Texas. The scene at the start of ''Film/MenInBlack'' where he was talking to the immigrants at the Mexican border? Ad-libbed.



* SilentSnarker: [[http://byspecialrequest.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/implied-facepalm1.jpg To wit]]

Real Life troping, which is not allowed for real people.


* {{Hypocrite}}: While filming ''Film/BatmanForever'', he stated he [[HostilityOnTheSet hated]] Creator/JimCarrey on the grounds he couldn't "sanction [his] buffoonery". This is despite the fact that Jones spent his entire screentime acting just as [[LargeHam goofy and over the top]] as [[HamToHamCombat Carrey himself]].
