J. Jones

APPEARING ALL THREE DAYS!

Sam has over 75 films and numerous television shows to his credit. He is best known as
FLASH GORDON, THE SPIRIT, THE HIGHWAYMAN, SG-1’s The Bounty Hunter, and for his memorable comedic performances in TED and TED 2.

As an Actor-Producer for 45 years and a Marine for 50 years (once a Marine always a Marine), Sam brings a rare and unique quality to the film industry, as well as to the
public speaking circuit, or as Sam would say “To the human condition circuit”.

With hundreds of public speaking appearances (in the past 20 years), Sam’s commonsense, practical thinking, life-changing message reaches every age, ethnicity, culture and economic demographic. “We as human beings are designed for community and for helping others”.

So, in this world - filled with self-centeredness, confusion and
uncertainty - We need to step-up and be doers in serving others before self, with an unwavering mind-set of “If not me, then who? And if not you, then who?"

Sam is the recipient of numerous Entertainment, Civic and Humanitarian awards including:

• Former National Chairman of Kid City, John Rossi Youth Foundation, Santa Monica, California.

• Saturn Award, presented by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.

• ICFA Nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

• The Outstanding Achievement Award in the Entertainment Industry, presented by
the Southern California Motion Picture Council.

• Courageous Citizen of the Year, presented by District Attorney of Los Angeles

County, The California State Senate, The City of Los Angeles, and The North

Hollywood Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.

• USMC Air Station Miramar’s Military Police Unit’s Certificate of Appreciation for providing high-risk environment personal security training for Iraq
Deployment.
