Legendary actor James Earl Jones, best known for his innumerable movie roles and the booming voice of the character of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" franchise, has died, his representative confirmed to ABC News.
He was 93 years old.
The thespian, whose powerful, deep voice brought to life the iconic villain, acted for more than six decades and won three Tony Awards, including a lifetime honor in 2017, two Emmys and a Grammy. He was recognized for lifetime achievement by the Academy Awards in 2011.

That's sad! He voiced and played so many great characters but he lived a long, good life.

He will be missed, he gave so much to our world.
I didn't realize he had a stutter as a child.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He was a fabulous actor (basing this upon Roots), and I loved his voice (The Lion King)! Just beautiful, even as Darth Vadar.

Oh man, this one sucks...He was SO great...
And Field of Dreams...
Just whenever I would hear his voice it was like a hug.. I don't know how to explain it.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He was a marvelous actor; Not to mention, that he was a hoot on the Big Bang Theory.
