Caleb Landry Jones (born December 7, 1989) is an American actor and musician.

He is best 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.

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.

Career

He went on to co-star opposite James MacAvoy, 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.

Jones was in Antiviral, Brandon Cronenberg’s directorial debut, in which he starred opposite Sarah Gadon and Malcolm McDowell.

He was also in Neil Jordan’s Byzantium opposite Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton and Sam Riley, in which Caleb played a young man dying of leukemia and struggling with his mortality.
