On 1 and 8 April 2010, Finn appeared in two episodes of The Bill playing Commander Lisa Kennedy’s (played by Julie Graham) son Mark Kennedy, who was accused of murder.

In March 2016, Marvel officially confirmed that Jones was cast as Iron Fist.
Personal life
Jones revealed on Twitter that his real name is Terence “Terry” Jones. He had to change it to avoid confusion with Terry Jones, a member of Monty Python.
