Jones was studying jazz under director Arnold Jones when he landed the lead role in a production of Cinderella Ever After. Following this, he decided to change his plans of studying jazz and began studying theater after his sophomore year.

During the first season of This Is Us, the stars of the show earned anywhere between $40,000 and $115,000 depending on their roles and past experiences. Before the third season of the show, the series regulars bargained for wage hikes.
