Well that sucks!

Quite a gifted man. I hear that he had a stutter in his younger years. It appears that he and his voice exceeded further than merely overcoming it.

James Earl Jones was a great man with a cultural imprint that nobody else can replicate. May he rest well up in the skies.

Loved him as Vader. Loved him in the Tom Clancy movies. The voice of the Arby's "meats". Interesting to note that from what I've read he licensed his voice via AI for future use (at least with Star Wars). I guess they can record enough and use past recordings to do quite a bit going forward. 93, that's a good, long life.
