Did Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cameo in Landman Episode 9? Details explored

The latest from Taylor Sheridan's Landman maintains his neo-western style and follows Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris as a crisis management executive at M-Tex, a private oil company. The show already has a star-studded cast and a surprise cameo in Landman Season 1 Episode 9 has got the fans excited.

Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner, made a cameo in episode 9 of Landman Season 1 and his appearance and speech blended quite well with the storyline. Since despite being a saga about the oil companies, Landman essentially talks about families as well, Jerry ensured that speech highlighted how incorporating his family in his professional life was one of his best decisions.

Let us now explore Jones’ cameo in Landman in detail while also focusing on who he is and what is he famous for.

Who is Jerry Jones in Landmand Season 1 Episode 9?

Jerry Jones, the famous owner of Dallas Cowboys made a cameo as himself only in Landman Season 1 Episode 9. Since he purchased the team in 1989, it has won three Super Bowls, which made Jerry’s claim to fame.

The reason behind Jerry’s appearance on the show is despite making his name and money from sports, he also has an oil company named Jones Oil and Land Lease, from which he made his initial earnings before coming into the sports field.

In his cameo, he talks in length about his family, and from the way he speaks, it seems that he got the family members involved in his business since he cared about them. However, it soon becomes clear that he had rather put himself first while taking that decision because having his family in his business made both his personal and professional life easier.

Another reason that Jerry makes a cameo in Landman is that despite being from California, he has been part of Texas for a long time, and the place where the show is based also takes place. He came to Texas after acquiring the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 and in a lot of ways, his character is everything that the great American Dream and in this case, the Texas Dream stands for.

Jerry ticks off all the major points that Landman covers, oil, money, football, and family. His inclusion served the storyline well as his monologue is most likely to stay with Tommy for a long time.

Jerry did a great job on camera as well since it felt like he belonged right there, which probably came from the fact that he actually did and therefore it all could have been completely natural.

Who is Jerry Jones in real life?

The real-life Jerry Jones is not much different from what the Landman cameo portrays him to be. He is a father of three children Jerry Jr., Stephen, and Charlotte. His eldest son is Stephen and he was a top football player in High School. He then got into his father’s oil business and later helped his father with the Cowboys.

Charlotte didn’t have any association with any kind of sports or the management of it, but she had been a part of the Charlotte Cowboys. Lastly, Jerry’s youngest, Jerry Jr. has been associated with the team for a long time.

Landman Season 1 episodes 1-9 can be streamed on Paramount+ and the 10th and final episode will drop on January 10, 2025.
