Frederick Charles Jones (September 12, 1927 – July 9, 2019) Jones was born in the town of Longton in the city of Stoke-on-Trent.

He was trained at the prestigious Rose Bruford College and became famous for his role as Claudius in the 1968 British television series The Caesars. He often played eccentric characters. He narrated the award-winning video Sexual Encounters of the Floral Kind: Pollination. He plays the character Sandy Thomas in ITV’s soap opera Emmerdale.
