James Earl Jones 93 , actor famous for voicing Darth Vader.
And for narrating The Raven in the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror...
He did a lot of things. He was Admiral Greer in several of the Jack Ryan movies, including Hunt for Red October. He was a pretty chilling villain in Conan the Barbarian. He voiced Mufasa in The Lion King. His first role was a small one in Dr Strangelove!
I saw him in Much Ado About Nothing in the Old Vic about 11 years ago. That voice... just something out of this world.

His break broke down just short of the century. Those still get a nice round of appreciative applause though
That is inspired. It must be acknowledged.Quote:

Unfortunately, despite his high achievements, much of his life was blighted by alcoholism which he eventually conquered. A day in the life of an alcoholic was harrowingly laid bare through his masterpiece Sunday Morning Coming Down.Quote:
