Jones' manager said in an emailed statement the actor died 'due to a long-standing pulmonary issue.'
Ron Cephas Jones, a veteran stage actor who won two Emmy Awards for his role as a long-lost father who finds redemption on the NBC television drama series"This Is Us," has died at age 66, a representative said Saturday.
Jones had a double lung transplant in 2020 because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and spent nearly two months in a Los Angeles hospital. Jones played a more central role in the series' early seasons, but appeared in some form in all six seasons of the show, which included time-jumping narratives offering recurring opportunities for its actors even after their characters' deaths.
Jones spent most of his career in the theater before and after"This Is Us," returning to Broadway even after his transplant forced him to learn to breathe and walk again.
