The actor died of a long-standing pulmonary issue, his manager said.
that his desire to return to the stage for “Clyde’s,” his fourth show on Broadway, provided motivation for a swift recovery.
“I don’t want to say a miracle but I was very fortunate. I had great doctors. It still was a very difficult and arduous recovery. I’m recovering for the rest of my life,” Jones said last year. He said at the time that he was able to continue his work on “This Is Us,” which aired from 2016 to 2022, because film and TV work is a “stop and go process.”
“The question was: would I ever be able to do a play again? Many people with lung disease are relegated to a wheelchair and an oxygen machine. There was no other alternative but to try to go with a transplant and see if I could pull my life together. I would have been relegated to an oxygen machine in a wheelchair,” he said.
Jones is survived by his daughter, Jasmine Cephas Jones, who followed in her father’s footsteps. She is known for her work originating the role of Peggy in “Hamilton.”
