His comic turn as Arthur earned him the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and when the play moved to Broadway in 2003, he was nominated for a Tony Award.

Jones has appeared in more than twenty films since his first role in 1992 in the film adaptation of Orlando. He voiced Dobby, the house-elf, in the Harry Potter films and played Oblomov in the 2005 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of the novel. He also appeared as Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, one of Queen Elizabeth I's councilmen in the HBO/Channel 4 production Elizabeth I.

He played the role of Truman Capote in the biopic Infamous.
