James Earl Jones, One of Hollywood’s Most Defining Voices, Has Died

The legendary actor beloved for his turn as Star Wars' tragic villain Darth Vader, among countless other roles, was 93.
James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, The Lion King‘s Mufasa, and countless more iconic roles, has died at the age of 93.

Deadline reports that Jones passed this morning at his home in Dutchess County, New York. The legendary actor was a star across stage and screen–one of the vaunted few to have earned the EGOT, successfully winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards–in a career bursting with some of the most iconic films in history.

No other updates. I didn't realize he was that advanced age, but it's such sad news regardless.

Huge loss. Obviously Vader, but I loved him in the Jack Ryan movies, Sneakers, Field of Dreams and The Lion King.

What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?

For this man, nothing indeed.

Man this hit me hard. Rest in peace Legend! Thank you for everything. I am almost 40 now and it is hard to see people I grew up with passing away slowly. I know this is life but still.

This one is rough. Such a legend. He will be missed. I just hope Disney is respectful with his voice.

That wonderful voice added so much to making Vader the greatest screen baddie ever.

Loved him in Conan the Barbarian as well.

So many iconic and memorable characters. One of my most favorite things he did was the show Big Bang where he played “himself”.

A true shame, but 93 is a pretty long and full life!

Nobody nowadays will ever admit to having seen 'Soul Man', but JEJ had a good turn in that movie.

Is it true he doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Look at the stars. The Great Kings of the Past look down on us from those stars... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you...and so will I.
