Eddie Jones, who played Jonathan Kent on [U]Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman[/U], [URL="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/eddie-jones-lois-clark-seabiscuit-192716805.html"]has passed away at 84[/URL].
I remember him in that show, and the far less well known Invisible Man series from the early 2000's. He was a good actor in both roles. I'm sorry to hear the news, but at his age, it's not really surprising.
I remember my dad once saying that his and K. Callan's Ma & Pa were the takes on the characters he most believed were the people who would have raised Superman.

He certainly portrayed the warmth that one would imagine Superman embodies. A real shame he's gone. My condolences to his surviving family.
They were certainly a bright spot in an already very good show. I was hoping he and K. Callan would come to Metropolis one year. RIP Mr. Jones, and condolences to his family.
I honestly thought he had passed away some time ago. Still,sad news. He and K. Callan were always fun to watch and they brought a lot to Lois and Clark. To date, he's the only live action Jonathan Kent to not die on screen. Rest in peace,Eddie. Thanks for a great version of Jonathan Kent.
Sad news. I always liked his take on Pa.
Was his the only live-action portrayal of Jonathan Kent who lived to see Clark become Superman?

Unless you widen this to be more 'see Clark in the uniform' and count the [I]Superboy[/I] series, all the other live-action portrayals had Jonathan pass away before Clark wore the cape.
Lots of good memories of Eddie Jones as Jonathan - for which I will always be grateful.

This is the camp I'm in. I could have sworn I heard a few years back that he had died. I know Perry did. Him and K Callan are probably my favorite live action Ma and Pa. He also did a voice on the [I]Ghost In The Shell[/I] series. The guy trying to oust the Prime Minister.
Sad. I always enjoyed the character dynamics on Lois and Clark.
