Former Bears RB Thomas Jones stars in 'Straight Outta Compton'
Life without football was difficult at first for Thomas Jones, but the former Bears running back has since pursued a career in acting and now finds himself starring in one of the hottest movies of the summer.
Jones, 36, plays the role of a bodyguard for Marion 'Suge' Knight in the new film 'Straight Outta Compton,' which debuted in theaters on Friday.
The Universal film generated $56.1 million over the weekend, setting an August record for an R-rated film.
Earlier this summer, Jones headlined the movie 'Runaway Island' playing the role of Raphael Burrows. He has also made appearances on television, most notably BET's hit series, 'Being Mary Jane.'
