This is my tribute to the legend that was James Earl Jones,
the voice behind the dark lord of the Sith and Simba's dad.

James Earl Jones
was an American actor known
for his iconic voice acting roles
and for his work in theater.

Over his career, he received three
Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards,
and a Grammy Award.

After College, he served in the United States
Army during the Korean War before
pursuing a career in acting.

Jones won his second Tony Award
in 1987, for his role in August Wilson's Fences.
He was again nominated for a Tony Award for
his roles in On Golden Pond and The Best Man.
Other Broadway performances include Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof, Driving Miss Daisy,
You Can't Take It with You, and The Gin Game.

He received a Special Tony Award
for Lifetime Achievement in 2017
Jones worked steadily in theatre, winning the
Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role
as a boxer in The Great White Hope (1968),
which he reprised in the 1970 film adaptation,
earning him Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.
James Earl Jones died at his home in Pawling, New York, on September 9, 2024, at the age of 93.

In a statement, CNN said that Jones "was the voice of CNN and our brand for many decades, uniquely conveying through speech instant authority, grace, and decorum.

That remarkable voice is just one of many things the world will miss about James." Jones' alma mater, the University of Michigan, paid tribute to him by posting a "We Are Michigan" video narrated by Jones on X.

The NAACP, SAG-AFTRA, and MLB also paid tribute to the actor.

Numerous members of the entertainment industry paid tribute to the actor including Mark Hamill, Danny DeVito, William Shatner, Barry Jenkins, Ava DuVernay, Colman Domingo, Octavia Spencer, Jeffrey Wright, Kerry Washington, LeVar Burton, Disney CEO Bob Iger, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and Lucasfilm founder George Lucas.
