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.
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
Wow I’d not seen this one - a great clip thanks for sharing 🙏
His voice really is something eh, almost like he’s playing his own head like an instrument
Wow… just wow… Thank you so much for sharing that. That was just amazing.
We have lost one of the absolute greats.
He’s joined Hercules in the great Sandlot in the sky.
RIP Lt. Zogg
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.
Doesn’t feel like it but everyone gets older all the time. I’m always worried about a headline like this for Morgan Freeman. I was blown away finding out Donald Sutherland was born in 1935 when he passed earlier this year.
The king is dead. 😥
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.
I don’t know myself and I see it more like a continuation.
Just rewatched it yesterday. He really was great in that.
He is such a great actor. Makes me sort of sad all headlines are calling him “the voice of Vader”.
Well this sucks. RIP
Do not want :(
Heading into the cornfield.
NOOOOOooo! Rest in peace Mr Jones, thanks for all the memories
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…
Thulsa Doom has fallen
Noooooooooooo!
This is the first time I actually got worked up about a celebrity death. :/ I know no one is immortal but damn yo, he was a pretty important part of the things I enjoyed.
Sad day for all. He was an icon. Will always be the best Thulsa Doom. And Darth Vader. And Lothar Vogg. And Terrance Mann. I’m gonna stop now. It’s that or cry again. RIP.
