James Earl Jones was much more than Darth Vader. He was one of the best character actors of all time. Denzel Washington eventually made the film Fences, James Earl Jones popularized it on the NY stage.


He never took himself too seriously.

This one hits a quite a bit, one of my Dad's favorites and became one of mine as well. Just last week I was looking up how old he was because it seemed like a lot of people were leaving us.

Star Wars' best lines by Vader, James himself, classics.


I loved him in The Hunt for Red October
5:26 not a word uttered but you felt his arm lol

Definitely one of the more recognizable actors, in presence and voice. Just watched this classic recently
 
You must have been pissed seeing him with your girlfriend. How dare she cheat on you.
She dared!
Anyway, without sounding mean spirited, he was another guy who basically played himself in every movie.
Kind of the same stretch effort as Michael Caine. And made a fuckin fortune doing it. So kudos to him. I guess.
