He was on a hit TV show for 10 years.
At the time this man was a child but he still pulled off a terrific performance on the long-running series week after week.
His costars were well-known actors.
One was a handsome bad boy who also starred in hit films. He was married to a Bond girl for a while and had several kids. The other was a much more stable movie star who was known for his goofy screen persona.
In 2010, he became the highest paid child star on television at the age of 17.
Then he left the show after he said the culture on set was not a fit for him.
Before this big TV series, this mystery man worked Sharon Stone on a gritty film and with Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana. He also did an episode of CSI. His first film role with Dinner With Friends in 2001 with Andie MacDowell.
His parents are from Austin, Texas and were both arrested many years ago but seem to be doing better these days.
Interesting fact: he attended University Of Colorado Boulder.
Who is he?

He is former child star Angus T. Jones, 30.
Angus was on the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. He played Jake Harper on the CBS sitcom for 10 seasons from 2003 until 2013.
He was nearly unrecognizable as he flaunted his new look during a rare public outing in Los Angeles last week.
He was spotted with a bushy beard while near his home. Jones had on a baseball cap, sunglasses, a T-shirt and gray sweatpants.
Over the past few years he has led a reclusive life, resurfacing only very infrequently into the public eye.
Jones was just nine years old when he landed his role on Two And A Half men alongside Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen.
During his 10 years on the show, Angus saw Charlie plunge into a drug-fueled public flameout that eventually got him fired in 2011 and replaced with Ashton Kutcher.
Around the same time, Angus himself was struggling with the demands of his part, which increasingly included storylines involving drugs and sex.

He confessed in 2012 that he had begun to find the job ‘very awkward,’ noting that ‘I am with these people on set that I have been with since I was eight years old.’
Onstage at PaleyFest, he expressed his discomfiture with ‘doing the adult thing when I am still not an adult. I mean, I am 18, but I am not an adult.’
Later that year, he was baptized into a Christian ministry called the Forerunner Chronicles and announced that he wanted off his sitcom.
He exhorted viewers of Two And A Half Men to ‘stop watching it and filling your head with filth,’ declaring that he himself was extricating himself from the project in order to avoid ‘contributing to the enemy’s plan.’
Angus headed to the University of Colorado at Boulder and initially majored environmental studies, only to later switch to Jewish studies.
By 2015 he agreed to be on the series finale of Two And A Half Men, and by 2016 his feelings about religion appeared to have morphed even further.
‘Over the last three years I’ve been involved with various faith-based organizations Right now, I’m stepping away from the organizational business-model programs,’ he informed People.
‘I’m interested in seeing where I go without an organization putting a stamp of approval on if I’m good or bad or whatever.’
He said that filming the Two And A Half Men finale ‘kind of showed me how much I did like it’ and said the ‘door is definitely still open’ for him to act again.
In late 2023, he reunited with Sheen for a cameo appearance in MAX show Bookies, per E! News.

His parents are Kelly and Carey Jones.
They were allegedly well-known to law enforcement authorities in their former home of Travis County, Texas, before they moved to LA.
Mug shots of the pair have emerged, taken on their arrest in 1997.
Carey had Kelly arrested on an assault charge after he allegedly pulled her out of a car and pushed her to the ground.
She later dropped the charge, but Kelly was ordered to complete an anti-violence class.
Carey was arrested the same year on a burglary charge, which was later dismissed ‘pending further investigation.’
