I loved him in Sandlot, but I don't recall a single bad movie/show.

He had a long and excellent career, Conan movies, Tom Clancy movies, Broadway ......a voice that shaped generations. Wow, another one gone, RIP Sir James.

I completely forgot he was in Conan. I loved that scene where he shot the snake out of a bow.

Oh man.  Death comes for all of us, but we sure could have used James Earl Jones for a while longer it seems.

That's awful , but he's in a better place I'm sure. I always wanted to have his voice in my GPS LOL . he was also fun in The Big Bang Theory when he and Sheldon went to an Ice cream shop and then rang Carrie Fisher's door bell and took off running .  But lets get this out in the open , THERE IS NO OTHER VOICE THAT COULD EVER DO DARTH VADER !!!!

A fine actor, and by all accounts I am aware of, a fine man. May he rest in peace and thanks for entertaining us all these years! I wish we had more like him.

An outstanding actor and the greatest voice in entertainment history. He may be gone, but his legacy will live forever.

No one else could have played Thulsa Doom or King Jaffe Joffer.  

RIP

One of the few celebrities I would have loved to have a coffee with and just talk for a few hours.

I don't know much about his personal life, his politics or what troubles he had. For that alone, I have the utmost respect. The world is truly darker without him.

God speed sir and rest in peace.

Prayers for the family. RIP and Thank you Sir.

He was a long-time NRA member.  He mentioned it in his 1993 and 2004 biographies.

Cheers,

Yes indeed, let us enjoy your talent without spoiling it with any of the other stuff. 

Loved the Big Bang episode, hope that was his personality shining through.  RIP!

What a legacy he left. I always enjoyed his interviews. And yes his Big Bang appearance was fantastic. RIP Mr. Jones. Thank you for all the great memories.
