A Sad Day with the passing of #JamesEarlJones truly an incredible man. Having one of the most iconic voices in the world. From Mufasa from the Lion King and of course the voice of Darth Vader. Hopefully all of you can take a moment to celebrate such great man’s life.
The Force will be with you, James Earl Jones, always. #RIP

#RIP dad 💔
James Earl Jones, the prolific film, TV and theater actor whose resonant, unmistakable baritone was most widely known as the voice of “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader, died Monday. He was 93.
