James Earl Jones, the distinguished and prolific actor in films, TV and theater known for providing the voice of Darth Vader in “Star Wars,” has died.
I didn’t realize he was that old. In my mind, he was one of those figures that was stuck in time, perpetually middle-aged.
It’s sad that he’s gone, but he’s lucky to have lived such a long life.
Recently rewatched “The Hunt For Red October” and even though his role was small, he made a huge impact on that film… as well as anything else he’s been in. Sad to hear. He’ll be missed.
He also returns in the Harrison ford Jack Ryan movies as Admiral Greer. Certainly a good watch as well.
I guess I never thought about this but are the alec baldwin and harrison ford Jack Ryans the same person? Ben Affleck was assume is a reboot, but now I don’t really know.
Yeah, the first three are supposed to be one series. Sum of All Fears was a reboot, as was Shadow Recruit.
He is such a great actor. Makes me sort of sad all headlines are calling him “the voice of Vader”.
Mark Hamil posted “He will be greatly missed. #RIP Dad”
The man was irreplaceable.
Just have to try
EDIT: Who downvoted a perfectly valid movie quote?
“Will you guys pipe down?”
This is CNN.
Very sad to see his passing. A unique voice, literally, and a fine actor. 93 is very impressive also.
and a fine actor
i feel like this clip of him reciting a little shakespeare at some convention should have gone a lot more viral https://youtu.be/_evRg7HuuSc
He’s joined Hercules in the great Sandlot in the sky.
Do not want :(
Heading into the cornfield.
I was watching a video a few weeks back in where he talked about being paid only 7k to do Vader’s voice in the original, but to him that was a huge score cause it was only for 2.5 hours of voice work. Insane that it became the most iconic villain voice ever
Watched Dr. Strangelove Friday night wondering if he was still alive. Sorry everyone, my bad.
I’ll never forgive you.
Well this sucks. RIP
Seemed like a decent dude too. Never heard anything negative about him which is rare nowadays. He’ll be missed. RIP
Anyone loved by Levar Burton and Mark Hamill…
