RIP James Earl Jones
Yes, he may have been best known for the voices of Darth Vader and Mufasa, but I remember him best for his other roles: a B52 crewman in Dr Strangelove, Thulsa Doom in the first Conan movie, and as Admiral Greer in several Tom Clancy film adaptations.
And who can forget that marvelous self-parody of himself in an episode of Big Bang Theory.
Vale James.

Yep. going to be missing him. Somebody posted elsewhere that he, Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier are some of the best.

You would not know it to hear him speak, but as a boy, he stuttered. According to an interview, he said his father would have him read Shakespeare as one part while his father read another part. "I will be Othello, and you will be Iago."
