Ron Cephas Jones, Emmy-Winning ‘This Is Us’ Actor, Dies at 66 Ron Cephas Jones, who won two Emmy Awards for his role as William Hill on This Is Us, has died. He was 66. The actor died due to a long-standing pulmonary issue. The Gersh Agencyconfirmed his death on Sunday. People magazine first reported the news. “Throughout the course of his career, his warmth, beauty, generosity, kindness and heart were felt by anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him,” a statement to People read. “He began his career at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and his 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. Ron’s inner beauty and soul was evident to the huge audience from his multi-Emmy award winning performance on This is Us.” Born on Jan. 8, 1957, in Paterson, New Jersey, Jones went on to pursue a career in acting. He previously opened up to THR about the lack of diversity on TV when he was a kid, saying, “There weren’t many African American families on TV when I was growing up.”
