Jones is now mostly retired from acting, and these days the former Marine earns a living working in the personal security business, guarding high-level execs and other VIPs as they travel in high-risk areas. He works for a prominent security company that he'd prefer not to name, as well as running his own San Diego-based security business. "It's primarily work in Mexico protecting dignitaries and executives from bad people wanting to do bad things to them," he says. "And I love it. I absolutely love it." Below, Jones fills us in on his weird career transformation.

What's it like doing security work in Mexico right now? It seems a little scary at the moment.
It can be for somebody who's not paying attention, who's not using common sense. It could be very scary. It's all perception. Don't present yourself as a soft target. When we're in these environments where it's the real deal, we are traveling hard. We're in armored vehicles. They look like normal sedans or SUVs, but they are armored. And we're traveling hard and we're traveling fast. With that said, most of the time we're traveling low profile. We're not putting up red flags. There are times when we have some dignitaries when we have to travel in a huge motorcade with weapons out the windows and stuff like that. But usually we stay under the radar. In other words, we don't give the bad guys any opportunity. They're watching us. We're not stupid. They're assessing, saying, "Well let me see, if I decide to hit this motorcade or this convoy, what are my percentages of success?" When they look at us and they know our training, they can only come up with one conclusion: it's going to be a 20 to 30 to 40 percent chance, if that. So they're not going to mess with us. And that's not a macho statement. It's just in the training. It's just how we present ourselves.
theres not gonna be any civil war either
