Despite his audible majesty onscreen, Jones never left the theater and has lately been on a Broadway tear — six shows in ten years. One of those was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the second all-black Broadway revival he’s starred in. No matter the strides they and their peers have made, both actors believe such race-conscious productions remain necessary and valuable. “Ethnicity is still an important factor,” Jones says. “You look at the police issue in the young public, there’s a lot to be resolved.
