Can we say goodbye to James Earl Jones who has died at 93?

Asked by janbb (63155points) 4 weeks ago

He was one of the greats and is now with God – or maybe is his replacement? Such a wonderful actor and such a great voice!

What was your favorite role of his?

What good run he had! Actually, I think my favorite may have been when he played himself on The Big Bang Theory, tongue very firmly in cheek!

RIP

I’m of the age that I best remember his voice as Darth Vader.

Great artist he’ll be missed but remembered.

I saw him in “Driving Miss Daisy” on Broadway.

As a child, I always imagined God’s voice as his. Maybe because of Mufasa appearing in the sky…

Field Of Dreams is my favorite film of his. Dr. Strangelove and SW:TESB are up there too.

Coming to America, yeah I’m old. Ha! I also loved his spots on Big Bang.
As voices are my day job, not going to lie, I adored his smooth delivery in that deep tone. Calming.

So many good movies with his golden voice.
I loved him as Mr. Mertle in The Sandlot.. “I take it back. You’re not in trouble, you’re dead where you stand”

Rip , your no longer an Earl, you are a king.

Does anyone know if he was in, “Coming to America 2”?

@RedDeerGuy1 Yes he was.

When I have time to be at the keyboard, I will tell my story about JEJ.
