## James Earl Jones Dies: Revered ‘Field Of Dreams’ Star, Darth Vader Voice & Broadway Regular Was 93

Authored by deadline.com

James Earl Jones, the revered actor who voiced Star Wars villain Darth Vader, starred in Field of Dreams and many other films and Broadway shows and is an EGOT winner, died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY.

Jones has received two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Daytime Emmy, a spoken-word Grammy Award in 1977 and three Tony Awards.

He probably is best known for his voice role as the dastardly Darth Vader in George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy: Star Wars (1977) The Empire Strikes Back, 1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).

James Earl Jones was the voice behind Darth Vader, who is unimpressed with Imperial colleague Admiral Motti in the original ‘Star Wars,’ telling him, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.”

James Earl Jones is unpleased about Kevin Costner’s intrusion in ‘Field of Dreams’ (1989) Universal/Everett Collection.

The Great White Hope, in which he played a lightly fictionalized version of heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, was Jones’ breakthrough role.

That’s as much as I can quote here, but it went on and continued to make zero sense.

Republicans are voting for Harris:Dick Cheney picks Kamala Harris, giving conservatives a final path to save their party from Trump.

With only a couple months left before voters decide if this 78-year-old should be president, the American public deserves an unvarnished picture of Trump. »
