[edit] Confused...

You know, the Talk page for the actor/Monkee (this one) is also the talk page for the Disney character of the same name. Just wanted to warn ya'--Hailey 16:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

• David Bowie's original name was David (Robert) Jones: he changed his name to avoid confusion with Davy Jones, whose career was peaking as Bowie's was beginning.
• In 1967, both The Monkees and Star Trek were beginning their second seasons on NBC. While the former was quite successful, Star Trek's ratings were sagging. In an attempt to add "teen appeal" to Star Trek, NBC asked Gene Roddenberry to add a new character that looked like one of the Monkees. The result was the role of Pavel Chekov, played by Walter Koenig, who bore a resemblance to Jones at the time. (This was sometimes enhanced with a long-hair wig.)
• Jones guest starred in an episode of the television series The Brady Bunch as himself, as well as the spin-off film, The Brady Bunch Movie.
• Jones appeared in two episodes of The New Scooby Doo Movies and episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! featured songs from The Monkees during chase scenes.
• In an interview segment aired on the Monkees TV show, Jones claimed that when he had recently flown home to visit his gravely ill father in England, his father had refused to let him in the house due to Jones' long hair. Jones said that he had gotten two haircuts, neither of which satisfied his father. Finally, Jones bought his father a house so his father could not turn him away.
• In another interview from the show, Jones said he had been touring continuously for six years, since he was fourteen.^{[citation needed]}
• Jones shares the same birthday (three years apart) with Monkee bandmate Michael Nesmith. He also lived with Nesmith and his family in Hollywood, in the early Monkees days.
• Jones's seasonal residence is located in Beavertown, Pennsylvania.
• Jones was in an episode of the G4 television show Code Monkeys in Davy Jones Locker.
