The RIP thread

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

R.I.P. James Earl Jones. A true legendary actor. Voice like no other. Darth Vader, Thulsa Doom in Conan, Voice of narrator in Field of Dreams, Simba's Father in The Lion King, Eddie's Murphy's Father in Coming to America. Admiral Greer in the Jack Ryan universe movies. So many great roles.

Damn. RIP.

James Earl Jones…..

RIP, and what an amazing talent has left us. I do feel his voice forever will be iconic, whether it be Darth Vader's voice, or "This is CNN", but with the recent advancements of AI it wouldn't surprise me to see his voice live on in future projects.

[River Dog]

One of the most iconic voices ever with that deep, baritone sound that could send shivers up your spine, think Darth Vader, or one of solid credibility, This is CNN.

Oddly enough, that voice didn't come easy for him as he had a speech impediment that caused a horrific stutter and didn't speak for 8 years.

RIP.
