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).

During Uther Pendragon's aging years, Arthur grew up alongside Antor and Flavilla, vassals he believed to be his true parents. Following the one he also believed to be his brother, Keu, in his many adventures, he once found himself facing the sword of Excalibur, proudly planted in his rock and sealed to it for any blood that was not royal. . This sword, indeed, was the one that was to designate the successor of the now-deposed king to the throne of Camelot and, unsurprisingly, Arthur was the one who freed it without the slightest effort. From this exploit arose two quite opposite reactions: those who, blindly, offered allegiance to the designated successor, and those who cried scandal. How can a son of vassals claim the throne? Arthur's true identity was then revealed to him by Merlin and his access to the throne was not long in coming, without even knowing his father.
