Tommy Lee Jones, Box Office Star

Tommy Lee Jones, honoree of the Monterrey Film Festival 2008, is a box office star. Who says Will Smith is the biggest box office draw? Or Tom Cruise used to be the "it boy"? What about Tommy Lee Jones? Not only is he as charming as those two kids but he is a much more interesting actor.

With all the buzz (and well deserved) for the current Dark Knight characters, why not speak of Tommy Lee Jones' Two Face? Or remember him in Men In Black? The Fugitive? The Client? Double Jeopardy? Space Cowboys? Volcano? All blockbusters!!

Just check out the numbers yourself. Tommy Lee Jones Box Office Numbers.

And he has an Oscar, for his supporting role in "The Fugitive". And he was worked with the late Robert Altman, Oliver Stone, the Coen Brothers and many more.

What an honor for Monterrey to gave him in our city.

Thank you Mr. Jones!!!
