Jones’ long association with The Walt Disney Co. began after he received
an unexpected call from Walt Disney himself, who praised his work on the
NBC-TV show "Ensign O’Toole," commenting it had "some good closing
sequences."

NOTE: Dean Jones became a devout born-again Christian in 1973–1974
and In 1998 Jones founded the Christian Rescue Committee (CRC), an
