James Earl Jones is the beloved actor who voiced Star Wars villain Darth Vader, starred in Field of Dreams, and many other well-known films. He also appeared in Broadway shows, and is an EGOT winner. Jones died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY. He was 93.
James Earl Jones had a deep rich voice that was unmistakeable. Star Wars fans will forever think of him as Darth Vader. Even though other actors played the physical role. Jones’ voice Intimidated an entire galaxy far-far away. And as Mufasa in The Lion King, Jones’s roar proclaimed that he will Forever be remembered as king of jungle.
But, for me, I will always think of James Earl Jones in my favorite film, Field Of Dreams. So rest in peace… as you disappear into that cornfield.
