Jerry Jones' acting performance in Landman surprised everyone
Jerry Jones is a polarizing figure as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, to say the least. But when it comes to Jerry Jones the actor, the internet has seemingly come to a consensus.
Jones recently appeared as a guest star in the new Taylor Sheridan series Landman, and fans were pleasantly surprised with his more-than-solid performance.
In the scene, Jones portrays himself and is speaking to characters played by Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm. He becomes emotional while discussing his vision of buying the Dallas Cowboys and the importance of being able to work with his family to run the franchise.
Jerry Jones, being a decent actor, was not on my bingo card. #Landman pic.twitter.com/p2N5kYABan

This is great, and I don’t think he’s acting here. https://t.co/UcXBJTqML5

Decent? That was fantastic for someone who doesn’t act. Not a fan of his but that was really good.

Jerry Jones cameo on Landman is the last thing I ever thought I’d want to see. But turns out, Jerry delivered an all-time speech, and I rewatched it twice.
I still can’t stand him btw.

Ok but not Jerry Jones actually being a good actor. This cameo was random and I eye rolled first seeing him but he definitely shocked me with how good of an actor he was. #Landman pic.twitter.com/0fmFIxm7nL
