Tommy Lee Jones is ready to give fans the lowdown.
The Oscar-winning actor made a rare appearance on the red carpet Oct. 7 for the season two premiere of FX’s The Lowdown at AFS Cinema in Austin, nearly three years after he last appeared on the red carpet for the premiere of Finestkind in December 2023.
Jones kept it casual for the outing, donning blue jeans and a blue button up shirt with a black blazer. He was joined in the carpet by costars Ethan Hawke and Ryan Kiera Armstrong, as well as the show’s creator Sterlin Harjo.
The 80-year-old is set to appear on two episodes of The Lowdown—premiering Oct. 14—as the estranged father of Hawke’s character Lee Raybon, a bookstore owner in Tulsa, Okla., who moonlights as a journalist to uncover the grim truths about local corruption.
And Hawke and Harjo knew that Jones would be perfect for the role.
