Joy Keys chats with Camron Jones from Amazon Prime’s Panic

Special Guest: Actor Camron Jones

Camron has quickly positioned himself as a one-to-watch. This year, Camron stars in the Amazon Prime series “Panic.” Based on Lauren Oliver’s bestselling novel of the same name, the drama series follows a group of high school graduates who compete in a series of challenges to escape the small Texas town they live in. Once the rules change, they must decide how much they are willing to risk in order to leave their hometown. Camron stars as Bishop, an athlete and solid A student whose lifetime of inherited pressure begins to take its toll. 

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and raised in San Ramon, CA, Camron discovered his passion for the arts after his mom persuaded him to compete in a speech & debate tournament. Before he knew it, Jones was traveling all over the country competing in the dramatic interpretation category. He eventually received a BFA in Acting from the University of Southern California, where he got the opportunity to study abroad in Oxford and fine-tune Shakespearean text. His television debut came in 2018, appearing in Freeform’s hit series “grown-ish,” starring Yara Shahidi. Additional credits for him include USA Network’s “The Purge” and Showtime’s long-running drama series “Shameless.”
