A sad day.. the passing of James Earl Jones.

[Lone Crusader]

He was such a great actor, sad that he passed away today.

James Earl Jones, Authoritative Actor and Voice of Darth Vader, Dies at 93

The honorary Oscar recipient and two-time Tony winner overcame a stutter to stand out in such films as 'The Great White Hope,' 'The Lion King,' 'Field of Dreams' and 'The Sandlot.'

A true LEGEND. His voice was incredibly powerful. Vader, Mufasa. ICONIC!

A film I always think of with him is Finders Fee. I feel like almost nobody knows about it. But its was directed by Jeff Probst (Yes from Survivor) and stars him, Ryan Reynolds, Matthew Lillard, and Robert Forester (among others). It's a great little poker game thriller that could almost work as a broadway play instead of a film. Not even sure if its streaming anywhere... but if you can find it. It's a fun little movie.

I have the DVD of it somewhere and might give it a watch tonight in memory of him.

Such an iconic and instantly recognisable voice. Sadly I've not seen many of the films he actually acted in, but will hopefully change that sometime soon!

RIP Sir.

His voice really was a serious asset to him. I can think of only two other actors who had such iconic voices.

Curious now... who?

Morgan Freeman & Samuel L ? @Lollard2002

Or Maybe Connery?

Two of the best for sure. Waiting on the next generation to come through with such distinct illustrious voices. Seems rarer nowadays
