Why people remember him

James Earl Jones stands out because of two things: a powerful stage and screen career, and a voice people instantly recognise. He gave life to Darth Vader’s breathing menace in Star Wars and the wise, booming presence of Mufasa in The Lion King. He also played strong, thoughtful characters on stage and in films like Field of Dreams and in the acclaimed play The Great White Hope. Those roles show his range — from commanding villain to gentle mentor.

If you care about performances that stick with you, Jones’s work is a masterclass. He built scenes with voice, timing, and presence, not flashy effects. That’s why directors and audiences still talk about his performances decades later.
