Biography of Steve Jones

I have a friend in L.A. who thinks I should use a pseudonym for my work. He's an actor. He changed his name to play a corpse on CBS's Criminal Minds. I find it funny that people would work so hard to see their name on the marquee...then when they get the chance they change their name. But a lot of folks don't have as exotic a name as mine. They ask me "is it a burden?" No; it's a privilege.

If I had my choice of name I'd be Federico Garcia Lorca. Or The Rock. The first rolls off the tongue exquisitely...especially if you can roll your R's.

Feder-r-rico Gar-r-rcia Lor-r-rca.

And the second name? If someone called you The Rock, are you really going to stop them?

The R-r-rock.
