He was the voice of such iconic characters as Darth Vader in Star Wars and Mufasa in The Lion King. His career, which began in 1965 when he became one of the first African-American actors to star in the daytime drama As the World Turns, has included numerous awards, such as two Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe, two Tony Awards, a Grammy, a National Medal of Arts and a Kennedy Center Honors. In 2022, the Broadway theater was renamed in his honor.
Despite his advanced age, Jones continued to work until recently. In 2015, he amazed everyone by coming to the rehearsals of the Broadway play The Gin Game with elaborate comments and notes.
