Mickey Jones Dies; Home Improvement Actor Was 76
Mickey Jones, the beloved character actor who amassed more than 100 credits over the course of his career has passed away at the age of 76.
A statement from Jones’ family indicates that he had been battling an illness that resulted in several hospitalizations in recent months.
The statement did not offer any specifics regarding the nature of the illness.
While Jones’ name may not be familiar, if you’re a film and television fan, you’re almost certainly familiar with his face.
He belongs to the class of character actors so instantly recognizable that they’re known to elicit shouts of “that guy!” from audiences.
Jones’ imposing size, signature beard, and tremendous versatility made him an intimidating presence in crime dramas and an unexpected source of laughs in lighthearted comedies.
While it might be his role as Tim Allen’s rugged, yet unexpectedly sensitive friend Pete Bilker on Home Improvement for which Jones is best remembered, the gentle giant left his mark on countless esteemed projects over the years.
In addition to his work on such iconic television shows as MASH, Entourage, and Bones, Jones turned in memorable performances in such films as Total Recall, Sling Blade, and Tin Cup.
Prior to his acting career, Jones made a name for himself as a drummer for various high-profile rock and roll acts.
Before making the switch to Hollywood, he backed such legends as Kenny Rogers and Bob Dylan.
In 2009, Jones published a memoir entitled That Would Be Me.
The title was taken from his Home Improvement character’s signature catchphrase.
Thousands of tributes to Jones have been pouring in on social media since his death was announced Wednesday afternoon.
It’s a testament to the length and diversity of his career that he’s being remembered by film and television fans from various generations, and for projects as varied as Baywatch and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Mickey Jones is survived by his wife, Phyllis Jean Starr, and their two children.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.

Mickey Mouse Helps Foster Kids Learn News of a Lifetime
They say that Disney World is the happiest place on Earth.
Janielle Gilmour and Elijah Gilmour, two kids from Portland, Pennsylvania, are now living proof of this description.
The 12-year old and 10-year old have been residing with foster parents Courtney and Tom for the past three years.
Unbeknownst to the children, the couple finalized its adoption paperwork when the family visited Florida in May.
When the Gilmours checked into the Magic Kingdom park in Orlando, each family member was given a button to write down his or her reasons for celebrating.
"We didn"t have the adoption date until the Friday before our vacation, but once we got it I thought, "How cool would it be to give a sign to Mickey?"" Courtney explained to E! News.
"When we got down there we sent out pictures on Twitter of our buttons. Ours said, "Adopting Our Kids." Theirs said, "Getting Adopted."
"The people from Disney World"s Twitter reached out to us and asked, "How can we help make this extra special?""
Courtney those the amusement park would provide free dessert or something along those lines.
"We went to dinner, and by the time we got back they e-mailed me again to set up a private meet and greet with Mickey," said Courtney, who filmed the following scene inside the Town Street Theater and shared the footage with friends via Facebook July 6.
It has since been viewed nearly 2 million times.
In the footage below, we see Mickey sign the children’s autograph book and then perform a card trick.
Typical stuff, really.
But then the beloved character held up a sign with the adoption date on it.
And… well…
"This went better than we had hoped," Courtney wrote as a caption at the time she posted it. "They were beyond shocked and we were beyond emotional."
See for yourself, but make sure you have a few tissues handy!
