Dr. Jack Stanley Hodgins is a fictional character in the American television series, Bones. He is portrayed by T. J.

Thyne. The "Bug and Slime Guy", Jack is introduced to the series primarily as an entomologist/forensic entomologist, but also as a mineralogist/forensic mineralogist, a palynology/forensic palynologist, and a forensic chemist, but conspiracy theories are his hobby. He can estimate time of death from the development of insect larvae in human and animal remains.

Hodgins is one of the more sarcastic members of the group. He seems to have had a dislike for Goodman's way of working (administrator of the Jeffersonian Institution), but gets along much better with Cam, the head of forensics. He is sometimes "the funny man" with a notable impression of Booth (David Boreanaz) in "The Woman In the Garden".

He is one of the more normal people working in the lab, and helps teach Zack how to appropriately socialize. His family is extremely wealthy - and happens to be the single largest donor to the Jeffersonian Institution; they own the Cantilever Group, the third largest privately owned corporation in the United States, and Jack is their sole heir. Jack wishes for his current occupation to remain concealed from his family as he fears they will prevent him from pursuing his career.

Booth, Zack and Angela knew about his family, but respected his wishes to keep it from Brennan. However, as of "Aliens in a Spaceship", Brennan knows of Hodgins' family and riches. In the episode "Two Bodies in the Lab" he is shown driving a Mini Cooper.

In the first season episode "The Man with the Bone" it is also revealed that Hodgins is an experienced cave diver. He is also seen in many episodes with an iPhone as his mobile device.
