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.
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…
fuuuuuuuuck
he was old, had a legendary life, no one lives forever… still shitty news
Do not want :(
Well this sucks. RIP
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 is such a great actor. Makes me sort of sad all headlines are calling him “the voice of Vader”.
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.
Just rewatched it yesterday. He really was great in that.
He’s joined Hercules in the great Sandlot in the sky.
RIP Lt. Zogg
NOOOOOooo! Rest in peace Mr Jones, thanks for all the memories
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.
Thulsa Doom has fallen
“Will you guys pipe down?”
This is CNN.
Watched Dr. Strangelove Friday night wondering if he was still alive. Sorry everyone, my bad.
I’ll never forgive you.
Is it actually true he did all his lines for the first Star Wars in 2 hours? And got paid about nothing?
About $7000 for a voiceover. For a film that even Lucas wasn’t sure would get traction.
And he declined a credit, saying that his role in the making of the film was insignificant (next to the power of the dark side).
Yelled “noooooooooo” without thinking.
Spouse is now upset for me yelling. I don’t care. If there is any time to yell, this is one
This… is… really really sad. 😭
