He was in “Dr. Strangelove” with Peter Sellers and Slim Pickens. Slim was the pilot of the B-52 and Jones was one of the crewman on the plane. I picked up on that by his voice.
Movie was released in 1964.

This is CNN. He was an excellent actor. Did a very good job in an old creepy TV movie about real-life supposed incident in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_UFO_Incident -— gave me the willies when I was a kid. R.I.P.
