Vincent Peter Jones (born 5 January 1965) is a British actor, presenter, and former professional footballer. Jones played professionally as a defensive midfielder from 1984 to 1999, notably for Wimbledon, 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. Best remembered for his time at Wimbledon as a pivotal member of the famous "Crazy Gang", he won the 1988 FA Cup final with the London side, a club for which he played over 200 games during two spells between 1986 and 1998. He played 184 games in the Premier League, in which he scored 13 goals. Jones gained a reputation for being one of the hardest footballers in history, with his highly aggressive and physically uncompromising style of play, an image which has often led to him being typecast in his film career as violent criminals and thugs. As an actor, his film and television career began with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), for which he won an Empire Award for Best Newcomer. Then, for Snatch (2000), he won the Empire Award for Best British Actor. Other notable credits include Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), Mean Machine (2001), EuroTrip (2004), Extras (2005), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), The Riddle (2007), The Midnight Meat Train (2008), Year One (2009), The Cape (2011), Fire with Fire (2012), The Musketeers (2014), MacGyver (2016), NCIS: Los Angeles (2019), The Big Ugly (2020) and The Gentlemen (2024).

In the enigmatic town of Midgard’s Edge, the gods, giants, and heroes of Norse mythology live as ordinary people, stripped of their memories by a powerful curse. The curse was cast by Loki, now the town’s cunning mayor, but the true instigator is the ancient frost giant Ymir, who seeks to prevent Ragnarok by scattering the gods’ identities. Into this world arrives Eirik Thorsson, the grown son of Thor and Sif, searching for his lost daughter—whom he had with another mythic figure (later revealed to be Freyja). Eirik’s daughter has been adopted by Loki, who is tormented by guilt and begins a journey of redemption. As Eirik unravels the town’s secrets, he discovers that not everyone is who they seem, and the fate of the realms hangs in the balance.
