Oh man. I grew up with Star Wars. I really liked James Earl Jones.

He was pleasant and funny as a guest star on the Big Bang Theory. His performance on House M.D. was downright chilling. He and his voice will be missed.

He is an essential part of one of the most impactful moments in genre movie making.

Also this should be seen by more people as well



RIP and sincerest condolences to Mr. James Earl Jones' family and friends

Not a huge fan of BBT but that was a really good episode. RIP

He has now joined Obi Wan Kanobi and Princess Leah in the afterlife. Probably having a good laugh right now in Heaven.

That was a helluva guest role on House. Downright evil guy. Suggested watch S6E3 and E4. Going to miss JEL.

"This is CNN" He pronounces "system" just like Darth Vader

What a voice he had.

Interesting that Dr Strangelove was his movie debut. I think I remember watching that (long after it was released, i.e. after Star Wars) and thinking "hang on a moment, is that Darth Vader..."

I'll be damned. Was wondering why he would need to do those things. My apologies.

No needs for apologies. I used to think it was James as well. Like you I wondered why he would do commercials, so I looked it up years ago.

Amazing how similar they sound.
