Jeffrey Jones Not in ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ Despite Easter Egg


The actor, who played Winona Ryder's dad in the 1988 original, can be seen fleetingly on a headstone in the sequel's new trailer.

In Beetlejuice, Charles is a big-city real estate developer who buys a Connecticut home after the previous owners — the Maitlands, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis — die in a car accident. A gifted physical comedian, Jones, 77, stole scenes in a string of films throughout the 1980s, most notably playing Emperor Joseph II in 1984’s Amadeus and Ed Rooney, the principal in 1986’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
