Remembering LQ Jones
We lost L.Q. Jones (born Justus Ellis McQueen Jr.) on July 9th, 2022. He was born August 19, 1927, in Beaumont, Texas and gained recognition for his roles in several films directed by Sam Peckinpah, including The Wild Bunch, Hang 'Em High, Ride the High Country, Battle Cry, and Casino.
Jones also appeared in other Western television series such as Cheyenne, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Laramie, Wagon Train, and The Virginian. Notably, he wrote and directed the 1975 science fiction film A Boy and His Dog, based on Harlan Ellison's novella of the same name.
Columbo fans will recognize him as the gun dealer and RV salesman Chuck Jensen from season 7's The Conspirators.
