After some small roles, such as in No Country for Old Men, Jones began to receive work in television, appearing in Friday Night Lights as Jimmy Adler and in Breaking Bad as Louis.[6]
Jones then had supporting roles in The Last Exorcism, released in 2010, and X-Men: First Class, released in 2011. The following year saw the release of Contraband, the English-language remake of award-winning Icelandic film Reykjavík-Rotterdam, and Byzantium, both of which featured Jones in supporting roles.[6]
Also in 2012 he had his first starring role in Antiviral, the feature-film debut from writer–director Brandon Cronenberg, son of Canadian horror director David Cronenberg.[6][7]
In 2017, he appeared in American Made, The Florida Project, Get Out, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.[6][7][8] The latter three films received nominations at the 90th Academy Awards; the latter two were both nominated for Best Picture.[9]
Jones released his debut studio album, The Mother Stone, on May 1, 2020.[10] It was recorded in Los Angeles and released through the Brooklyn-based Sacred Bones Records.[11][12]
In 2021, he starred as Australian mass-murderer Martin Bryant in Justin Kurzel's Nitram, which earned Jones the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor.[13]
Jones took on the lead role in the 2023 Luc Besson film Dogman, which made Besson a great admirer of him. Calling him his "muse", Besson began to think of possible films to make to cast him in, and decided on the story of Dracula, which will be released in 2025 as Dracula: A Love Tale.[14]
