Sam J. Jones Guest Starring On SciFi’s Flash Gordon

SCI FI announced today the casting of Sam J. Jones as a guest star on the Channel’s new series Flash Gordon. Jones played the title character in Mike Hodges’ 1980 film, Flash Gordon. Introduced in a widely read comic strip by Alex Raymond and film serials starring the late Buster Crabbe, Flash Gordon gained a new legion of fans in the 1980s with a film starring Sam J. Jones. SCI FI Channel’s “Flash Gordon,” a new original series premiering August 10 @ 9PM and featuring Eric Johnson (”Smallville”) in the title role, contemporizes the Flash legacy for a new generation of viewers.

With a tip of the hat to the Flash legacy, Sam J. Jones will guest star in an upcoming episode of the SCI FI series entitled Revelations. Jones will play ‘Krebb,’ a seedy prisoner who reveals surprising information about the fate of Flash’s long lost father. This special episode of Flash Gordon is slated to premiere on SCI FI Channel in October.
