Question

MisterWack · Accepted Answer

I’ve been looking into his career and I must say he has some high achievements. Mufasa, Darth Vader, playing the part of Paul Robeson in a TV Movie and Field of Dreams. Really a remarkable guy. I’ve watched Lion King as a child & Star Wars for that matter. I didn’t know it took an hour to three to come up with the idea of how Darth Vader should sound for Episode 4 ‘A New Hope’ then Episode 5 ‘Empire Strikes Back’ it took a whole day to figure out what worked before and what to improve on to make the performance more impactful to audiences the second time around. Really incredible guy James Earl Jones was, I miss him already 93 years old.

I think I'll offer one no one (probably) has mentioned yet and say Field of Dreams. The sudden cry of "MOONLIGHT GRAHAM!", packing so much power and meaning into those two words, is something I think only he could've done.

I didn't hear about this on the news, maybe they'll talk about it tomorrow.

It's really sad, his voice was unforgivable. It's definitely an huge loss, not only for his family and friends but also for cinema. May he rest in peace.

Hey! That was my question!

Lliam · Answer

He was a great dramatic actor and of course his voice was amazing.

He was the second black man, after Sidney Poitier, to be nominated for an academy award.

He was in some great movies. I'm not counting voice overs. I can't remember all his roles, but his role in The Great White Hope was amazing.

From 'Coming To America' (1986). Sees son's 'employee of the month' plaque on wall -- 'What is this? What is this?' 'That's your son, down at the corner restaurant. I think he works there'. 'My son works?'

That’s horrible. They said that he died 15 years ago and that never happened.

Yeah they said that on the news. I feel kind of bad because jus two days ago I saw he was 93 and I said "how is he still alive". 😬

He was very old, so I was expecting he would die soon. But he had a great voice.
