Toby Jones is a well-known British actor in film, theater, television and radio shows. Currently, he is better known to the mass audience as a performer of rather colorful and ambiguous roles in American blockbusters. However, in his homeland, an artist is perceived primarily as a theater actor.
short biography
Toby Jones was born in 1966 in London in a creative family. His father and mother are actors, one of the brothers became a director, and the second went in the footsteps of his parents. The future famous performer of the role of Dr. Zola was educated first at the Edinburgh school, then entered the University of Manchester, and subsequently improved his skills in a special French school, where he studied clown art. His career began in the mid-1990s. At this time, he played his first film role. However, popularity came to him only in the 2000s.
TV roles
Toby Jones starred in fairly well-known television projects. Among them we can name Agatha Christie, the cult series Poirot, which has already become a cult. As you know, this film adaptation is a fairly successful project of the BBC, and the role in one of the episodes made the artist recognizable. Another iconic role is the image of the lord of dreams in another British television series - Doctor Who. This multi-part television story about an eccentric scientist and his companions has a huge number of fans and fans, so the participation of the artist in this project immediately made him one of the most sought-after British actors.
Success
Toby Jones has a very colorful appearance, which allows him to easily play both serious dramatic roles and light comedic episodic images. An example is his very small, but quite memorable work in the famous American biographical film "Fairyland", where the actor very successfully embodied Mr. Media, assistant captain Hook from a fairy tale about Peter Pan.
Toby Edward Jones is better known to the general public as the performer of the role of Dr. Zola in the blockbuster First Avenger: Another War. In this film, he played a rather outstanding personality - an extremely intelligent person who possessed outstanding intellectual abilities that allowed him to make the most unusual inventions and create seemingly unthinkable projects. Nevertheless, his experiments are immoral and quite often find no use for themselves. However, the hero still manages to test his serum, and this experience leads to a real drama of the heroes.
It should be noted that this character, with all its conventionality and fantasticness, made it possible for the actor to fully demonstrate his dramatic skills: the villain in his performance turned out to be all the more sinister because the actor played directly with awesome naturalness and calmness. And since the blockbuster about superheroes always finds its audience in various parts of the world, the actor who played one of the most original negative characters immediately gained worldwide fame.
New project
Toby Jones, whose photo is presented in this section, is currently declared as the performer of one of the villains in the modern British series Sherlock. This project is a huge success with viewers, so the news of the appointment of Jones as the main antagonist caused a stir among fans, among whom there are already debates about which character from Conan Doyle's stories he will realize. The most common version is that the artist will play the role of Dr. Smith, one of the most colorful and sinister villains among the enemies of the brilliant detective.
In the trailer, viewers could see this artist, already catching up some fear on fans with his ominous laughter and gloomy phrases, which intimidated the detective consultant who was already loved by everyone. As the hype has not subsided over this series for six years running, the release of the new season naturally increased interest in this actor. So, Toby Jones, whose filmography includes films of various genres (mini-series, blockbusters, fantasy films), is currently one of the most colorful performers in modern cinema.
