Ice Cube as Craig (left) and Chris Tucker as Smokey in the film Friday

Craig Jones is a fictional character from all three of the Friday movies. He is portrayed by Ice Cube. Before the series began, he had a job but got fired the day before the beginning of the film because "he got caught stealing boxes". He also has a girlfriend who constantly talks to him over the phone. He dumps her at the end of Friday. He is a laid-back kind of guy, and all he wants to do is live life before something happens to him. He sometimes has some arguments with his sister Dana. He and Smokey try to beat the neighborhood "pest" Lil' Chris, and they finally got him and he (Craig) also made a name for himself when he knocked Deebo out.

Things change after that day. Smokey was in rehab, the Parkers have left, Stanley left the neighborhood too, and Deebo broke out of prison a week (or month) later, causing him to leave as well to his uncle's house. However Deebo was arrested again that friday.

A week later (or a year later), Craig and Day-Day were robbed by a fake Santa Claus and got jobs as security guards. They deal with Damon, Money Mike, a gang of a religious mother, and Santa Claus later and get their stuff back. In the end Craig gets another girlfriend.

He has a dad who works as a dog catcher (but "Friday After Next" was working at a restaurant) and a mom who loves him, but who also likes to get him into trouble. He also has a "rich" uncle in Rancho Cucamonga, as well as a cousin (Day-Day) who lands on the "list" of people who will likely get shot. But Craig lives each day as any other day (except perhaps Friday).
