RIP James Earl Jones 93

An accomplished actor, yes, and a voice that is the epitome of our time. He grew up and studied here in MI, veteran of the Korean war. RIP sir, you've left a beautiful mark on this world that cannot be duplicated nor ignored.

Such an Iconic voice Darth Vader and "this is CNN" when CNN was still reputable.

His portrayal of Terrance Mann in Field of Dreams was an all-timer

I loved him in Field of Dreams and Sandlot best. I've a baseball freak most my life, so he'll always be dear to my heart.

Brilliant actor and person.

Field of dreams was bloody brilliant.

It deffo tugged heart strings.

RIP jones.

You have left us with a lot of memories.

He Was Never There

a reply to: wAnchorofCarp

Sad about the man.

But they'll probably just digitize him like other Star Wars actors.

His legacy remains.

There's a guy I'll miss. He could be really funny. I wish he would've had more opportunity to demonstrate that.

For me, tied with John Facenda for Best Voice Ever.

Oh no! He was a true icon. He will be missed.

He was a great and accomplished man.

He will be missed.

The world is a little sadder today.



GODSPEED GOOD SIR.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

One of my most cherished object lessons:

Thulsa Doom, the greatest cult leader of his time.

Brilliant film conan

It was a brilliant film and gave us Arnie and Jones.

The power is not in the steel...

I saw Bloodtide a long time ago. It was quite forgettable. In fact, I have no idea what the movie was about. The only scene I remembered from it was James Earl Jones breaking a small watermelon with his fist.
Looking at it now, he appears to search for the right spot to hit. Perhaps there is a cut there to aid his punch. Regardless, it takes a heck of a wallop to burst through the outer skin like that. I never forgot it.

James Earl Jones vs Watermelon is apparently a meme/gif as well. I had no idea. I wonder if we will see more of it now. MakeAGif.com

"May the force be with you" Mr Jones.

RIP you were a good soul.

One of the better actors and amongst my favourites. His theatrical background put him above many others.

I'm undecided what I liked more, the booming voice of Darth Vader or his bellowing laugh.

R.I.P. James

ETA: He was humble enough to star in B movies, but always gave a stellar performance.

From By Dawn's Early Light (1990), I love his line "Will someone give me a cigarette... A REAL CIGARETTE!"

93?? Wow. Didn't know he was that old.
Saw him on Big Bang Theory a while back.
Didn't look like he was 90ish at all.

Professor Proton shuffled off his moral coil also not that long ago.
