BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – August 29, 2024 – Join us for the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Comic-Con at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center on September 20-22, 2024! The Baltimore Comic-Con is excited to announce media guest Sam J. Jones to our 25th Anniversary event! See our website for details on ticketing, other announced guests, cosplay events, and more!
Sam J. Jones 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, aand 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 common-sense, 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 Disrict 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.
“Sam J. Jones’ performance in Flash Gordon is an absolute classic,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. “He’s gone on to do some great work elsewhere, both in and out of the film industry, and is a touchstone for so many of us. Fans are going to be excited to meet Sam this year!”
