RIP James Earl Jones

[lihpster]

The voice of Darth Vader has been silenced. RIP to one of the great actors of our time.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Huge footprints!

Terrence Mann and Ray Murdock could only have been played by him.

Way to many roles to remember, made so-so to bad movies better.
Conan, Piece of the Action and Swashbuckler come to mind.
I guess he liked baseball with Field of Dreams and the Sandlot.
Did he ever make it to Tijuana with Sheldon Cooper?
Another icon gone.

Back in the late 60s, I saw him off Broadway in his Tony Award-winning performance in 'The Great White Hope' opposite Jane Alexander. It was a free USO ticket. I was in awe of his stage presence and that voice!

RIP, A great actor

We lost one of our own. James Earl Jones was a fellow NRA member. IMDB attributes the following to him:

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise, they will win and the decent people will lose."

I never knew this about him.

Ten or twelve years ago I bought his Israeli K98k Mauser. Have since sold it, but there for a while I could honestly say I owned Darth Vader's rifle.

2021 Rock Island Armory auctioned a number of his pistols.

Great actor with a great voice. Also liked him in Hunt for Red October.

Godspeed to you.

 

[Rudi]

What a voice. Also a great actor. I liked him in Dr. Strangelove. Was great in Red Oktober. For many years he was the voice of the EIB network. He brought a real chill to Darth Vader's words. RIP.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

And he was an Army veteran.

 

[pantannojack]

Did well in Family Affair.

 

[Kaarde]

He was...impressive...most impressive.

Incomparable
RIP Mr. Jones. May the force be with you.

 

[rwsmith]

Another great one gone.....

Man, he had a storied career. He made it to 93 and has quite a long list of credits. Stage, screen, voice acting. So long, Mr. James Earl Jones.

 

[robvious]

I felt a disturbance in the force...
R.I.P.

 

[pantannojack]

I just today found a long searched for copy of Conan the Barbarian at JImi's Habitat Re Store, 25(, plus gas.

 

[LVSteve]

Another great one gone. RIP, Sir.

 

[Ματθιας]

His Wiki says he went to Ranger School and earned the Ranger Tab. RIP

He may be gone but that voice will be here for long time.
