Jones, 80, kept it casual for the outing, sporting a blue button-up, black blazer and jeans.

In the FX series, the “Fugitive” star portrays Lee Raybon Sr., the estranged father of Hawke’s character, Lee Raybon.

The crime drama follows Hawke’s character, a self-proclaimed journalist, who exposes political corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
