Ron Cephas Jones, This Is Us star, dies aged 66
20 August 2023
A veteran stage actor, he was best known for the series This Is Us - his role as a long-lost father who finds redemption earned him two Emmy Awards.
Jones had a "long-standing pulmonary issue", his manager told US outlets. He had a double lung transplant in 2020, according to media reports.
His "kindness and heart were felt by anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him", his manager said.
Jones's love for the stage "was present throughout his entire career, including his recent Tony-nominated and Drama Desk Award-winning performance for his role in Clyde's on Broadway", the statement added.
