I am saddened - another great has passed away.
James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, Mufasa in the Lion King, and"This is CNN" passed away yesterday at the age of 93.
Here, a short tribute. I chose videos because....that voice. But were you aware that Jones was a stutterer? Or that he won three Tony' awards, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, plus an honorary Academy Award (Oscar) making him an "EGOT".
Mufasa in The Lion King. He was the only cast member to appear (so to speak) in both the original movie and the 2019 remake.
Jones voicing Darth Vader in various Star Wars movies.

This is...CNN.
May this talented actor rest in peace.
He had a good, long life, but it's always sad when a great talent passes on.
ReplyDelete...93 is a ripe old age!
ReplyDeleteI remember him best for his role in "Field of Dreams," a wonderful movie and he was wonderful in it.
ReplyDeleteAn incredible actor with an incredible voice. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of James Earl Jones, I think of The Hunt for Red October. Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger too, but those were far less enjoyable with the replacement of a far less enjoyable (and far less talented) actor as Jack Ryan!
ReplyDeleteI was sad to hear that too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a voice.... Do you remember the commercials he did with Malcolm McDowell for Sprint, where they were reading text message conversations? Classic stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was so saddened to hear this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post and for the
