Fame did not come easy for Tommy Lee Jones. He appeared in a movie nearly every year from 1970 until 1993 and still that elusive thing called "stardom" escaped his grasp. It wasn't until he coolly uttered those famous words "I don't care" to a frantic Harrison Ford that his career skyrocketed to the level that his talent seemed to dictate. Since then he has been every moviemaker's first choice for those gruff but caring leading man roles. We salute his choices and honor his work in our Tribute to Tommy Lee Jones.
