Lindsay Jones (actor) explained
Lindsay Elise Jones (Tuggey; born September 6, 1989) is an American actress, director, gamer and host. They are known for their work with Rooster Teeth, and have provided the voices of Ruby Rose in RWBY and in Red vs. Blue from 2013–2024.
Life and career
Jones was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. They attended, and graduated, the University of Texas at Austin. While acting at the University of Texas, they used the stage name of Lindsay Kavlin.[1] [2] [3]
Jones later joined Rooster Teeth Productions, where they spent much of their time working on videos in the Achievement Hunter division. They were a director, writer and voice actor on X-Ray and Vav, a cartoon series by Rooster Teeth. Additionally, Jones was the primary manager of Rooster Teeth's video gaming website Achievement Hunter, and has appeared in many other Rooster Teeth productions such as Ten Little Roosters and On the Spot.[4] [5] In April 2012, they were added to the cast of three-time Podcast Award winner Internet Box.[6] [7]
In the 2019 companion book to the series, Jones said that they were attached to the podcast for Rooster Teeth as an audio editor and became friends with Monty Oum, with both talking about video games and anime for hours, and he presented the role of Ruby to them in the process. In the same book, Jones also recalled that Oum said they were socially awkward like Ruby and that they channeled the innocence of the character during their recordings, focusing on the performance rather than the tone.
Personal life
Jones married their long-time boyfriend Michael Jones on May 9, 2014.
During Rooster Teeth's 2016 Extra Life livestream, the couple announced that they were expecting a daughter, due in June 2017.[8] [9] The couples first daughter was born on May 24, 2017.[10] At RTX 2018, Jones announced that they were expecting a second child due in February 2019.[11] The couples second daughter was born February 18, 2019.[12]
In 2019, they hosted the SXSW Gaming Awards.[13] In December 2020, Jones stated that they prefer they/them pronouns, though they are "okay with" she/her pronouns.[14]
