Sam J. Jones to Guest on 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.
