Actor Tommy Lee Jones travels to Argentina to play the pole

American actor Tommy Lee Jones is again in Argentina and as in his many previous visits the main reasons are the pole and the horses, two of the likings of the black man when he does not act. I come for "playing the pole, to eat roasted and to buy two or three horses", says Jones in declarations published yesterday by the press of Buenos Aires. Jones played with its equipment of pole, San Saba, whom the name of the town of the state of Texas takes where it was born in 1946, in a disputed open match in Buenos Aires. The black Man and actor fugitive marked somewhat in one of both started off played by San Saba with local equipment, in which he harvested a triumph and a defeat. In addition he upon presentment attended of the new t-shirt of the club of Argentine pole the Mariana in an elegant hotel of Buenos Aires, where he praised the level that that sport of elite reaches in this country and to several players, like Adolfito Cambiasso. According to the television channel by cable All News, Jones is lodged in spa located to about 60 kilometers of the capital Argentine and protected by six bodyguards. On his artistic activity, it emphasized that it is working in two films, one like actor and another one, that will be released in 2005, like director and producer, this completes with a script of Mexican Guillermo Arriaga.

"Next to the pole, to act it is very easy".

Actor Tommy Lee Jones is a fanatic of the sport; he spoke of everything and he remembered to Juan Carlos Harriott (h.). 

The North American Tommy Lee Jones, of 56 years, repiquetea the fingers on the table while he observes with serious face the 200 people who attend upon presentment of the Mariana, the new equipment of pole for the season of stop handicap, in the Alvear hotel. In fact, it summoned to most of means, sport and other so many of the spectacle.

Like good actor, its serious gesture seems to be removed from some film; and quickly it enters confidence.

"I only came to play the pole and to buy horses. Ah, and to eat good roasted ", it answers and it surprises in a very understandable Castilian. Immediately, a series of answers served to demonstrate that he is not no unexpected one in the pole and that it has been playing for several years.

- What felt when playing for the first time in Palermo?

- It was an honor to play in Palermo. It is the greatest field of the world, the best one.

- In the first party of the Masters it made a goal. It remembers how was?

- That was an extra pleasure: I not only played in Palermo but that I turned a goal. But it is necessary to clarify that whenever I make a goal it is luckily.

- It was as with its performance in the Masters of Palermo?

- I did not reach the level that I had in Palm Beach because that is impossible. It is not possible to be played to the maximum with the horses that one does not know. If I do not know them, I cannot. It is not fault of anybody.

- Like padrino of the equipment the Mariana, will come to see the season of stop handicap?

- Lamentably, until now never I came to see the season of stop handicap. I know that there is a match similar to the Masters, the Gold Glass of Ellerstina, in which until it could participate. It would be a pleasure to do it, but at this moment I cannot assure my presence.

- You come often Argentina...

- Yes, I twice do it between one and per year. I enjoy much the company of the Argentineans. We eat good roasted in Wolves. And, in addition, it is an honor to work with the Mer them and Piece (by Héctor Mer them).

- It has referring like polistas?

- the Mer brothers them, Alpaca (by Francisco de Narváez - h. -), Juan Carlos Harriott (h.), Gonzalo Pieres, Ernesto Trotz, that was best back of the century XX, and sometimes Adolph Cambiaso, that is an excellent player, but is a little undisciplined.

- He surprises that he names to Juan Carlos Harriott (h.), a player of another generation.

- To Juan Carlos Harriott (h.) I saw play once in San Antonio, Texas. Later I was interested in him, his style, and saw several videos. He is smooth, elegant, intelligent. And that is most important in the pole: to think.

- What is more difficult: to play the pole or to persecute to Harrison Ford in "the Fugitive one"?

- To play the pole is truely very difficult. It is a very hard sport. Next to the pole, to act in the cinema is very easy.

It is clear: Tommy Lee Jones is not an unexpected one in the pole. For him, the horses and the tacos are much more that hobby ephemeral.
