Ever since I became aware of him circa LOST, I believe he's even gone on record stating it's vital and important to feature diverse casts. Examples include the recent Star Trek and upcoming Star Wars film reboots. His TV examples (directing/producing) include LOST, Undercovers (w/two PoC leads, Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw), Revolution, Person of Interest, and Almost Human.


EDIT: Though to be true to the OP, I suppose it also depends on whether one considers Abrams a "great" director.
