Vincent Peter Jones (born 5 January 1965) is a British actor, producer, singer, presenter, and former professional footballer. Jones played as a defensive midfielder from 1984 to 1999, notably for Wimbledon, and also for Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Queens Park Rangers. He also played for and captained the Welsh national team, having qualified through a Welsh grandparent. He was noted for his very aggressive and physically uncompromising style of play, earning him a "hard man" image on the field.

Since retiring from football in 1998, Jones capitalised on his tough image and is now best known as a film actor who plays fearsome demeanour and physical characters; he is often typecast as violent criminals and thug. His film career began with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is a 1998 British crime comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, produced by Matthew Vaughn and starring an ensemble cast featuring Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran, Jason Statham, Steven Mackintosh, Vinnie Jones, and Sting. The story is a heist involving a self-confident young card sharp who loses £500,000 to a powerful crime lord in a rigged game of three-card brag. To pay off his debts, he and his friends decide to rob a small-time gang who happen to be operating out of the flat next door.
