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.
Godspeed to you.

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.

He may be gone but that voice will be here for long time.
I didn't know this either, thanks for sharing. My guess is Heaven just got a little nicer...

RIP - A long and productive life. I actually met him in about 1984 or so, at a gas station off exit 8 in Danbury CT., of all places. Thought I recognized him, said hi, and the voice was instantly recognizable. Pumping his own gas...lol

James Earl Jones was a class act. I caught the tail end of Naked Gun 33 1/3 yesterday, where he played a bit part.

RIP Mr. Jones. Thanks for the memories.
His voice alone made him millions, not to mention his acting. Curious if Arbys will still use his commercials. This may be sacrilege but I always mute the TV when those Arby commercials come on.
Seems like we're losing a lot of 85+ year old musicians and actors; every one of them a small piece of our younger days. RIP.

The Arby's commercials are done by Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction), but he does sound a lot like James Earl Jones, a happy coincidence that did not slip past Arby's unnoticed I'm sure.

May He Rest In Peace, he has certainly earned it, for all the fun,joy and entertainment he has brought to the world.
Seems to have been a truly good person, a man of integrity, a great actor and apparently had a great sense of humor.
1 or 2 weekends ago, I pulled his underappreciated movie/DVD, "A family Thing" off the shelf. A really fine character driven story with another of my favorite actors, Robert Duvall. He will be missed.

Hitler Rants Parodies did a "Hitler is informed James Earl Jones has died"
It was actually touching, not a rant at all, and a very nice retrospective on Jones' work.
