L.Q. Jones born Justus Ellis McQueen Jr. died today from natural causes at the age of 94.<\/p>\n
After serving in the Navy, LQ went to college, worked as a stand-up comedian, played a little pro-football and pro-basketball and even did some ranching.\u00a0 A letter from his old college roommate, (actor) Fess Parker, encouraged Mr. Jones to give acting a try.<\/p>\n
Jones’ first role was in 1955’s Battle Cry<\/em> where he was billed under his given name, Justus E. McQueen.\u00a0 The character he played in Battle Cry<\/em> was named LQ Jones!\u00a0 He liked the name so much he took it as his stage name for the rest of his career!\u00a0 LQ never looked back.\u00a0 He stayed busy alternating between television and feature films for the rest of his career.<\/p>\n Television highlights include: Cheyenne, The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, The Rebel, Death Valley Days, The Rifleman, Lassie, Ben Casey, Have Gun – Will Travel, Route 66, Laramie, Perry Mason, Wagon Train, Branded, Rawhide, My Favorite Martian, Hondo, The Big Valley, Hawaii Five-O, The Virginian (semi-regular), The FBI, Gunsmoke, Alias Smith and Jones, Assignment: Vienna, Ironside, Kung Fu, McCloud, CHiPs, Columbo, The Incredible Hulk, Vega$, Charlie’s Angels, The Dukes of Hazard, The Fall Guy, Walker Texas Ranger<\/em> and Renegade<\/em>.<\/p>\n Some of the feature films with LQ Jones: Battle Cry, The Naked and the Dead, Cimarron, Flaming Star, Ride the High Country, Major Dundee, Hang ‘Em High, The Wild Bunch, The Ballad of Cable Hogue, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, White Line Fever, Casino, The Mask of Zorro<\/em> and Route 666<\/em>.<\/p>\n I probably first saw LQ Jones when he appeared in multiple episodes of Cheyenne<\/em>.\u00a0 Of course Mr. Jones stayed so busy on so many shows that I watched, it may have been one of the others on his resume.\u00a0 Since I enjoyed his role as Cheyenne Brodie’s friend, we’ll go with that though.\u00a0 As for his feature films, you could always count on him to have a role in most Sam Peckinpah films.\u00a0 When LQ Jones’ name is mentioned, White Line Fever<\/em> is one I think of right after The Wild Bunch<\/em>.\u00a0 Whenever LQ showed up, you were in for a treat!<\/p>\n Our thoughts and prayers go out to LQ Jones’ family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L.Q.
