Sad day, but a heck of a career in movies and TV.
Seemed he was in pretty much everything I remember watching growing up. Conan, Lion King, his telling of The Raven in The Simpsons, Hunt for Red October, Sandlot Kids and of course the voice of Darth Vader.
A voice and screen presence that won’t be forgotten.

He was iconic for sure. Also served in the US Army as a Lieutenant I believe, during the Korean War.

He was an amazing actor in both the big and small screen. We’ve lost a great actor and a great human being. He is now one with The Force forever.

So many great roles… Dr Strangelove, Conan the Barbarian, Hunt for Red October/Patriot Games/Clear And Present Danger, Gardens of Stone, Field of Dreams, The Sandlot, the voice of Vader in nearly all of the Star Wars films… so many more that I can’t name at the moment…. there will never be another like him.

By the way, I like to keep my titles as I write them.
There was a great episode of “Big Bang Theory” where Sheldon meets James Earl Jones and they play “Ring and Run” on Carrie Fischer. Season 7, Episode 14.

Yeah! Savagery all around, from the Sergeant Major on down.
James Earl Jones did a masterful job playing CSM “Goody” Willow; a salty, no BS-taking senior NCO.
You can almost hear him say “You sneaky SOB; I like you.”
