RIP James Earl Jones

[Thepaintbucket]

Oh damn that's sad. Legendary status. Seemed like a stand-up guy

RIP Darth, Simba's father in The Lion King, and Eddie Murphy's father in Coming to America. What movies of his should I watch in memory? I did see Dr Strangelove, check that out if you haven't.

What's considered his breakout role is probably The Great White Hope, he played it on stage and in the movie. Ali loved the play and played around with James earl, sparring, Ali blocked a punch and accidently broke James' thumb.

The movie was a semi-true account of the first black heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson.

As if Mufasas death wasnt already difficult enough to watch.

R.I.P to the voice of our generation. Was literally just watching Field If Dreams a week ago. Amazing and truly memorable career. Legend.

First time I seen him on film was Conan The Barbarian.

One of the most fascinating things about James Earl Jones is he was a known stutterer. It's amazing a man who stuttered all his life is known as perhaps the greatest voice in film history.

ya, it's probably what spurned him on to acting. A compensation thing.

The actor beloved actor with an iconic was 93.

R.I.P sir, I truly hope your 93 years were good to you.
You've done everything from terrifying (Thulsa Doom) when I was a kid to making me laugh (Field of Dreams, Coming to America).

You've definitely earned your right to peace, and may you find it quickly.


You will always be Darth Vader to me.
