A classically trained stage actor, Ty Jones earned his undergraduate and master's degrees at the University of Delaware, then launched his career on the theatrical circuit, alongside such co-stars as Kevin Kline and Denzel Washington -- essaying roles in Broadway productions of Julius Caesar, Henry IV, Judgment at Nuremberg, and other efforts. Jones initially crossed over into filmed entertainment with a series of scattered guest roles on small-screen series dramas including Law & Order and The Jury, then tackled parts in such big-screen features as the 2005 Heavens Fall (as a family member of one of the Scottsboro Boys) and Brian De Palma's 2007 Iraq War drama Redacted (as a master sergeant in the U.S. Military).
