Acting : RIP to James Earl Jones by Sam Sokolow

Sam Sokolow

RIP to James Earl Jones

My first time experiencing his brilliance, grace and immense presence was in John Badham's THE BINGO LONG TRAVELING ALL-STARS & MOTOR KINGS and I was hooked. He took our imaginations on so many rides from Star Wars to The Lion King, Dr. Starngelove to Patriot Games, Coming To America to Field Of Dreams, and countless other indelible roles. Thank you, James Earl Jones. Rest in power. https://deadline.com/2024/09/james-earl-jones-hollywood-broadway-remembe...

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Lion King. He breathed life into my favorite character in that movie, Mufasa. What an amazing voice, talent, man, actor. He will be missed I appreciate his contribution to the world!

James Earl Jones' voice is one of the most iconic voices in cinema history, Sam Sokolow!

Us Gen Xers grew up with JEJ from Darth Vader to the Lion King to Patriot Games to Field of Dreams. What a sad day. Yes he is one of the most iconic voices in cinema history. I was fortunate enough to see him on Broadway as well, in The Best Man playing opposite John Laroquette and Candice Bergen in 2012. I hope your next life is as great as this one was James!

My heart broke with I heard the news yesterday. I was in a meeting with Kay Ross at the time and we both had to take a minute to process it. I can't imagine my childhood without him. He had a huge impact on the movies that I LOVED.
