Early life[edit]
Jones was born in Sacramento, California and grew up in Pomona, California, one of ten children between his mother and stepfather. He eventually moved to Claremont, and graduated from Claremont High School in 2000.[1]
During this time he started Ultimate Improv in Westwood, before auditioning for Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, where he would go on to perform for three years.[1] Due to the rigorous touring schedule of Boom, he would continually lose his voice, when it eventually 'stuck' that way leading to his signature raspy voice.[1]
Career[edit]
Jones was the singer/main songwriter of the ska band Faculty Four. Before leaving for Boom Chicago, Jones appeared in 20 commercials in two years, including a spot for Midas.[1] After returning, his first theatrical audition was for the AMCcrime drama series Breaking Bad.[1]
From 2008 to 2013, Jones appeared in a recurring role as Brandon 'Badger' Mayhew on Breaking Bad. He appeared as a pizza delivery boy on How I Met Your Mother, and has appeared on Comedy Central's Reno 911! and the NBC comedy series Community. He has appeared in over 40 commercials. He appeared in the pilot episode of the Comedy Central sketch series Key & Peele. He is also a regular performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and I.O. West.[2]
In 2010, Jones was cast in the lead role in the TBS pilot Uncle Nigel, written and produced by Andy Breckman.[3] He has provided voices on the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time. In 2010, he was also cast as one of the lead roles in the Disney XD show Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil, as title character Kick's best friend Gunther Magnuson. He appeared in the 2011 film Red State, and voiced minor characters in the 2011 video game Rage. Jones also appeared as Probationary Agent Ned Dorneget in the CBS show NCIS, between 2011 and 2015. In early 2012, Jones was cast in Steven Levitan's new pilot Rebounding for FOX,[4] but the show was not picked up.[5]

Jones appeared in four episodes of The Office ('Junior Salesman', 'The Farm', and the two-part series finale). He was cast as a series regular in The Farm,[6] a failed spin-off of The Office.[7] While in the UK to direct Borderline in 2016,[8] Jones appeared in two episodes of character comedy podcast Fact Up.[9] He portrays Baxter in the CBS sitcom Mom.[10] In 2018, he starred in the Pop television series Let's Get Physical as Joe Force.
In 2019, he became a cast member on the sitcom Bob Hearts Abishola.[11]
He is the voice of the Boov Kyle in DreamWorks Animation film Home[12] and its spinoff series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh.[13] He is the voice of the character Wedge in Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020).
Personal life[edit]
Jones was previously married to fellow actress Kelly Daly since May 5, 2012.[14] Together they have a son named Jasper. In 2017, they divorced. On December 21, 2020, Jones married his second wife, Kristen Hager.[15]

Alabama freshman quarterback Mac Jones was arrested in Tuscaloosa on Friday and charged with driving under the influence and improper identification by a minor.
According to a Tuscaloosa Police spokesperson, police responded to a minor car accident at 2:14 a.m. Jones, who was one of the drivers, was arrested after officers performed a field sobriety test. No one was injured in the accident.
Incidental to the arrest, police discovered that Jones had a fake identification card.
Jones was transported to jail and released on $1,300 bond.
'We are disappointed in Mac's actions and this is obviously not the kind of behavior we expect from our players,' Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement. 'Mac has been suspended from Saturday's game against LSU. We will further evaluate what actions we need to take moving forward so we can correct the behavior. It is a privilege to represent The University of Alabama and there are certain responsibilities that go along with that privilege.'
Jones has not played this season and is one of three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, including starter Jalen Hurts and backup Tua Tagovailoa.
Jones was a four-star prospect from Jacksonville, Florida, when he signed with Alabama this year.
