Octavia Spencer and Sterling K Brown were among Ron Cephas Jones’ former co-stars who have remembered the “incredibly talented actor and wonderfully kind human being” following his death aged 66.

The veteran stage actor, who won two Emmy Awards for his role as a long-lost father who finds redemption in TV series This Is Us, died “due to a long-standing pulmonary issue”.
