James Earl Jones, voice of Darth Vader, dies aged 93 - from the BBC…
'James Earl Jones, the Hollywood actor and voice of Darth Vader, has died aged 93, his agent has said.
He died early on Monday morning surrounded by his family, agent Barry McPherson said.
Jones starred in dozens of films including Field of Dreams, Coming To America and Conan the Barbarian. He was best known for giving the Star Wars supervillain Darth Vader his distinctive gravelly voice.
Mark Hamill, who played Vader’s son Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, posted “RIP Dad” with a broken heart emoji as he shared a news report of the death.
He was also the voice of Mufasa in Disney’s 1994 film The Lion King, and CNN’s “This is CNN” tagline.
He won a host of awards including Emmys, Tony Awards, a Grammy and an honorary Oscar.’

I was going to post this sad news in ‘Original Trilogy news & articles thread: online write-ups on the OT films, cast and crew’ - but thought it deserved its own thread. RIP James Earl Jones - thank you for some wonderful memories (not just in Star Wars).
A decent celebration of the man: ‘James Earl Jones - A Tribute’ - a 7 minute video from the CineVore youtube channel.
‘This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.’
