One of the many highlights from the comedy was Sam Jones, best known as the blonde-haired hero in the 1980 cult film &#8220;Flash Gordon.&#8221; When John (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/tag\/mark-wahlberg\/\">Mark Wahlberg<\/a>) and Ted (voiced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/tag\/seth-macfarlane\/\">Seth MacFarlane<\/a>) get to finally hang out with their movie hero, the craziest night of their life. We got the opportunity to speak with &#8220;Flash Gordon&#8221; himself, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/tag\/sam-jones\/\">Sam Jones<\/a> about his involvement with the production along with a look back at his career and what else he&#8217;s got on his plate in security and film. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Now I&#8217;m really curious about your line of work in security. Could you give us a little bit more information on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Well, I work on a higher level of security. I started working alongside the Secret Service, the US State Department and from that for the last seven years we&#8217;ve been in San Diego doing cross-border security operations. I absolutely enjoy it, especially being in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yeah, San Diego is a gorgeous city. What&#8217;s the big thrill with doing that kind of work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Well I&#8217;ve been doing this my whole life. It&#8217;s always been in my nature. People that would know me would tell you that I&#8217;m very anal about safety and security. The same thing I do in Mexico is the same thing I do in San Diego or Los Angeles. I never drop my guard. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m paranoid, it&#8217;s just maybe I was born this way. I kind of think like a criminal, meaning that I always try to be a step ahead of their game especially since I have five children. I enjoy it. I absolutely enjoy protecting people, keeping their lives safe and keeping my family safe. I really enjoy it. I really feel like it&#8217;s a part of my assignment in life. [<em>Laughs<\/em>] And I&#8217;m not bulls&#8211;ting but I&#8217;m very good at it. There are similarities between movie making and running a security operation. It&#8217;s very, very close between the preparation, the planning, and the project itself. It&#8217;s all basically the same. It&#8217;s quite fascinating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And how did you end up being a part of &#8220;Ted&#8221; in the first place? You haven&#8217;t done a television show or a movie in a few years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Yeah, I haven&#8217;t. Seth (MacFarlane) just called me. He called me and told me that I inspired him when he was eight or nine. Now he&#8217;s become a success, this super creative guy and then wanted me to come on board to do his movie. I was like yeah, let&#8217;s talk about, let&#8217;s read it and we&#8217;ll do it from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yeah, and your scenes in the movie are hilarious. I&#8217;m curious, are you getting a sudden resurgence in popularity because of your appearance in &#8220;Ted&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Well I was already getting recognized from &#8220;Flash Gordon&#8221; and all of that. The thing that throws people off is that I don&#8217;t have the same kind of hair that I do in &#8220;Flash Gordon.&#8221; A lot of people don&#8217;t normally put two and two together. At the same time that&#8217;s how Seth wanted to do that hairstyle in the movie. He wanted the hair to look like it did 30+ years ago in &#8220;Flash Gordon.&#8221; As a matter of fact, in the script it says &#8220;Inexplicably his hair looks exactly the same it did thirty-three years ago and it&#8217;s never explained why. It just is.&#8221; It was a change compared to how my hair has been for the past twenty or so years, just a high flat top. A lot of people don&#8217;t really know that it&#8217;s me or if they know me as &#8220;Flash Gordon&#8221; then they can eventually put two and two together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m curious, since you&#8217;re slightly retired from acting &#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Actually it&#8217;s funny that you say that. Slightly retired. Am I only sitting halfway in a rocking chair? [<em>laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oh I didn&#8217;t mean that in a negative way. I hope I didn&#8217;t insult you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: No no, not at all. It&#8217;s a funny statement, I&#8217;ve never heard that before. That&#8217;s hysterical. <\/p>\n<p>I never saw myself as being retired from films. It&#8217;s just this kind of thing where if the phone&#8217;s not ringing, I&#8217;m not one to push the issue with anybody. My whole life, the more that I go after something, basically the more I fell on my face. So if they call me, then they call me, which works for me because in my life, with the failures and successes that I&#8217;ve had, the people that pursued me, I don&#8217;t exactly sit around and wait for the phone to ring. The years where I was pursued was where I had the greatest success. If I&#8217;m not, and I go ahead with a lost of haste, a lot of stress, the more I&#8217;m anxious to get back, the more of that the more likely I&#8217;ll fall on my face. <\/p>\n<p>Right now I feel like the timing is right. I have a couple of projects right now in development that I was told not to talk about. This may seem as a little bit odd but I always saw myself in my twenties and thirties working as an actor. I don&#8217;t know if God showed this to me or it was just a dream I had, but I always felt that when I was in my late twenties and thirties that a lot of my work, a lot of my major work would have happened in my sixties and seventies. I always felt that way in my life. I enjoyed security work and I enjoy doing more film projects. I have some projects that I&#8217;m working on, some projects that I&#8217;m really excited about getting produced. I think I&#8217;m going to be busy in the next twenty, twenty-five years doing a lot of projects and television series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s interesting because you run into a lot of people in their twenties and thirties and they&#8217;re just kind of thinking in the now so for you to have that kind of mindset when you were in your twenties and thirties is pretty cool.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Jones<\/strong>: Well I mean I felt that what I told you what I told you, but at that time I was still thinking in the now. Really there were a lot of foolish decisions I made in those early years where I just wish I had listened, that I had surrounded myself with positive mentors rather than just kind of bare knuckle things and do things on my own. Again, I don&#8217;t blame anybody. I take responsibility for every decision I&#8217;ve ever made. It&#8217;s kind of neat now. We&#8217;re all going to make mistakes but the one thing you don&#8217;t want to do, you don&#8217;t want to be redundant. You don&#8217;t want to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Thank God I think I passed that stage.
