After years in regional theater, actor Sullivan Jones vaulted to a high-profile supporting role as a New York law enforcement officer in Hulu's "The Looming Tower" (2018- ) series.

After graduation, Jones began performing in regional theater across the United States, winning a 2011 Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Award for his performance in a production of "Clementine in the Lower Depths.

The following year, Jones made his feature film debut in "Love: As You Like It" (2012), a modernized version of the Shakespeare play for which his performance as Orlando received the Best Supporting Actor Award from the Indie Gathering Awards that same year.

Guest roles in television series like "Parks and Recreation" (NBC, 2009-2015) followed, though Jones' voice was put to more extensive use in animated series like "We Bare Bears" (Cartoon Network, 2014- ) and video games like "NBA 2K17" (2K Sports, 2016).

In 2018, Jones received his first substantive television role, playing a New York SWAT Team member helping investigate terrorism targets in the United States in "The Looming Tower," a docudrama series produced by Oscar winners Dan Futterman and Alex Gibney.
