Caleb Landry Jones (born December 7, 1989) is an American actor and musician. He is known for his performances in The Last Exorcism, as Banshee in X-Men: First Class, and as Andy in Baltasar Kormákur's thriller film Contraband for Universal opposite Mark Wahlberg. He was then in Antiviral, an official selection of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, directed by Brandon Cronenberg. He was recently cast in the lead role in director John Boorman's science fiction romance Broken Dream.
Jones was born in Garland, Texas. As a child, his family relocated to the nearby city of Richardson, where he was raised, and where he would later meet Robert Hudson and form the experimental folk rock band, Robert Jones. After finding some success as an actor, having appeared as recurring character Jimmy Adler in Friday Night Lights and starred as Caleb Sweetzer in Daniel Stamm's The Last Exorcism, a performance praised by the New York Times, Jones relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue his career in film.
He went on to co-star opposite James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult in Fox’s summer blockbuster X-Men: First Class and was opposite Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale, Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Foster in Contraband (Universal), the English-language remake of award-winning Icelandic film Reykjavic-Rotterdam, which was released in January 2012.
