Marvin “Krondon” Jones currently stars in the CW’s "Black Lightning" as Tobias Whale, a crime boss and lead villain. He sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith to discuss diversity in superhero series, and opening up more diverse roles.
"Black Lightning" features a black superhero who protects his family, and Jones III discusses how important it is to show more diverse characters. He also discusses how refreshing it was to see a character with depth and complexity, explaining that it is different than most roles for people with albinism.

"Black Lightning" airs on the CW Tuesdays at 9pm.
