James Earl Jones declined having his name added to the credits of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, he felt that his voice wasn't enough contribution. Such a humble man
This man is not allowed to die ok lets make that shit clear science get on that if we have to put him in an actual darth vader suit we must but this man needs to keep going.
2 years later, I am watching this video thinking the same thing, especially since Lion King is coming out with him voicing mufasa, PLEASE turn 110 James!
@Holy Potatoe did u just say Christian?!?!??! RHEEEEEEEEE I am now obligated to tell u how much more intelligent i am, and that ur a bigot who forces your beliefs on others. But if u dont agree with my beliefs your a skyfairy believing idiot
I remember watching "Coming to America" as a kid, years after I watched Lion King. When James Earl Jones came out, my lil bro commented "Why does he sound like Mufasa?" And I was like "Dude, he IS Mufasa." Then my Dad chimed in "Did you know that the queen is also Sarabi?" We were like "Whaaaaatt??"
Maggie Sinclair and Jones both played king and queen in both movies. And it was the only two movies they ever did together. Weird right? RIP Maggie Sinclair.
An INTERVIEWER, got the Star Wars quote right?! “No I am your father!” That’s rare in interviews like this to get a quote right, especially when that one is misquoted all the time lol
Oh my gosh, he looks so old. That’s not an insult, his voice is so iconic, so big, so connected to such great characters seeing him how as a kind old man it’s really a credit to his ability to act.
He can read the damn phone book (remember those?) and make it sound REGAL. Mr. Jones' voice is a national treasure! Appreciate his vocal gifts to the world. :)
I have always pictured him playing God in a Bible movie. In Jesus of Nazareth he was a wise man and in a Moses short he was the Pharaoh, but never God! :(
I would be overwhelmed with such honor if I had the blessing of meeting this man in person! :-) I don't think I would stop crying because he is my childhood 😭😭😭😭😭
It's quite funny when both he and Jeremy Irons are asked about The Lion King, they always reference/compliment each other. When Irons was interviewed on 'Inside the Actors Studio' and asked about Scar, he described him as ugly. When the host playfully protested, he said "Look at him (Scar)! Look at that tail. James Earl Jones, have you seen his tail? Big muscles, flowing hair like this!" It's pretty surreal.
This man is a child of nature. Just a sweet gentle person. If God takes him away from us before this month ends, it will truly be the end of the world as we know it. James is just a great person. and should be almost immortal and should never die. please god let him live forever.
I grew up watching James. He is a Blessing. It's sad to see that he only has so little time left. I really wish i could have seen him in one more movie. That voice will be missed. ❤️
What a national treasure and treat for all of us with his work. My favorite James Earls Jones character is Admiral James Greer in all the Tom Clancy movies. “Watch your back Jack”. One of my favorite quote.
It's amazing seeing James Earl Jones have such an iconic voice playing powerful and prideful characters but be such a humble, happy, down to earth person in real life.
I love James Earl Johnson he is a true legend in film history. Whether as an actor or voice actor. I met him as Lord Darth Vader the Dark Lord of the Sith, who has the best Darth Vader voice ever. But as the very powerful and wise King Mufasa he was world class, he has a very epic voice and I am very happy that he again speaks in the real computer lime to the mighty Mufasa in 2019 of the Lion King. That was very epic. I love and adore James Earl Johnson one of the best actors and voice actors of all time. Long live James Earl Johnson.
Another film that I loved that had Sam Earl Jones in was the (Best Of The Best.) He did phenomenal in that film as well Starring as the coach He is definitely one of my favorite actors From my favorite childhood movies Much respect and appreciation for Sam Earl Jones
Shadow *The Strong Hearted* Fighter lol scar made the movie and is an icon. He’s easily a top 3 Disney villain with Maleficent and Jafar, number one for a lot of people.
waters228 91 Although I still prefer the older version of the movie myself. The CGI version of it was kinda buzz killing and it just didn’t really work for me. I’m a 1990’s kid so I will forever love the original Version of Lion King and by original, I mean the VCR COPY of the Lion King🙌🏻
I hate how the new Lion King just gathered as many celebrities as possible, instead of getting voice actors who actually FIT the role. Beyonce even had an atrocious accent that the original Nala did not. It really put me off.
For a man who had a bad stutter as a child! God bless that school teacher who brought him out of that shell. And God bless James Earl Jones. "And I... was never here."
James Earl Jones always has a unique voice especially when he voiced Mufasa, my favorite lion from the Lion King. Too bad Mufasa’s death scene was sad even though I don’t cry very often. I just find that scene sad.
Happy Birthday James Earl Jones. UR awesome legend. I love Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith, Rouge One: A Star Wars Story, Episode 4 A New Hope, Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back, Episode 6 Return of the Jedi, Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Scary Movie 4, Click, Robots, The Lion King and The Sandlot. Disney movies rock... kids love action. I wanna see some action out there. Star Wars is my first favorite movie. All of them. I seen all Star Wars movies. I'll never stop watching or playing Star Wars. It mean family. Your a good wise man. May the Peace be with u Darth Vader. From Harlingen Texas. January 17, 1931 January 17, 2023 through January 17, 3023
James Earl Jones declined having his name added to the credits of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, he felt that his voice wasn't enough contribution. Such a humble man
And he's the one who made that part so iconic. Literally anyone could've been in the suit but no one else could've done that voice
Star Wars wouldn't have been as successful without him
Oddly enough he was credited in The Holiday Special.
Caleb Witts Fact
That's crazy since he made Empire Strikes Back and history. I wonder if Lucas added him to the remake of the film
To think that this man was a mute for 8 years in his childhood and grows up to have the most loved voice of all time!
One of
@@peach-panther -a kind.
He had a stutter too but he trained himself out of it.
He wasn't mute. He had a stutter.
His vocals were just under hibernation, gathering their strength just to be able to carry the power of this voice
Can Apple give us an option to put James Earl Jones voice on Siri?? Thats gonna be awesome!!!
Haha, how about javis
May the dark force be with you !
@@JoJo-gd4dt The Sith version is "May the Force serve you well." ;)
Vader
This man is not allowed to die ok lets make that shit clear science get on that if we have to put him in an actual darth vader suit we must but this man needs to keep going.
dannytheman1313 in that case, they would have to do it for others too
dannytheman1313 Hell yeah .
dannytheman1313 If we couldn’t do it for Stan Lee then we can’t for him unfortunately.
I KNOW!
2 years later, I am watching this video thinking the same thing, especially since Lion King is coming out with him voicing mufasa, PLEASE turn 110 James!
They need to get this man into a recording studio and get as much out of him as humanly possible, before he leaves us.
oh yah
That sounds.. wrong.
John Hastey yes.
We should get him to say that then
We should perfect a syntetic voice modulator that is capable to reproduce James Earl Jones, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price 100%
Get him in the studio, get a dictionary and record every single word.
DoesNotExist305 but how about his tone
I have a CD set of him reading The New Testament.
Say every single word with EVERY type of Emotion/Tone
@Holy Potatoe That's Keith David.

@Holy Potatoe did u just say Christian?!?!??! RHEEEEEEEEE I am now obligated to tell u how much more intelligent i am, and that ur a bigot who forces your beliefs on others. But if u dont agree with my beliefs your a skyfairy believing idiot
James has a very deep and fatherly voice
Which is why he was perfect for Mufasa.
Cory Ames and Darth Vader.
And the king in Coming to America. And Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian.
He is always playing someones father.
Yes! He's Mufasa
“He has the rare distinction of having not only one of America's most famous faces but one of its most recognizable voices.” I agree!
I remember watching "Coming to America" as a kid, years after I watched Lion King. When James Earl Jones came out, my lil bro commented "Why does he sound like Mufasa?" And I was like "Dude, he IS Mufasa."
Then my Dad chimed in "Did you know that the queen is also Sarabi?" We were like "Whaaaaatt??"
Thanks for a good morning laughed

Let me tell you what my father told me, Look at the stars, All the great kings of the past are up there
Ж Balrog Ж also, when he said “You are my son” to Simba, you know what came to our minds.
And the one true king.
the stars (mufasa interlude) ... go watch that
Let me tell you something my father told me: I am your father
An INTERVIEWER, got the Star Wars quote right?!
“No I am your father!”
That’s rare in interviews like this to get a quote right, especially when that one is misquoted all the time lol
Gredran i was very happy when she said it right
"Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king".
Wait.. father

I love this man. So humble. You can tell he loves acting with a passion.
Much respect to him. He is the voice of God .
The voice of Thulsa Doom,
It’s impossible to hate him. He’s a great inspiration to people like me who have approach anxiety.
I have always pictured him playing God in a Bible movie. In Jesus of Nazareth he was a wise man and in a Moses short he was the Pharaoh, but never God! :(
Dude that’s Morgan freeman
A men
I would be overwhelmed with such honor if I had the blessing of meeting this man in person! :-) I don't think I would stop crying because he is my childhood 😭😭😭😭😭
James Earl Jones has an incredible body of work - one of earth's greatest legends.
He was so awesome in "Coming to America." Seriously one of my favorite movies. :-)

Arguably to best voice in Hollywood’s history
He did the an audio for the Bible ,the book, it was amazing ..my grandma allowed me to listen to it his voice is a gift
A comedy movie with James Earl Jones? I'll watch it definitely!
I was thrilled when Disney added James Earl Jones for the live action Lion King movie and of course loved it
This guy better not die! He’s honestly my idol! Brilliant man and brilliant actor! Long live the king ❤️
This man is a child of nature. Just a sweet gentle person. If God takes him away from us before this month ends, it will truly be the end of the world as we know it. James is just a great person. and should be almost immortal and should never die. please god let him live forever.
The voice of a king

Bruhh chill he ain’t dead yet lmao. He also got a new movie coming out soon so you’ll get your wish.
HIS VOICE IS SO ICONIC

Total respect for this gentleman right here! Such a classy man! God bless you, Mr Jones.
Remember who you are. You are my son, the one true king.
The Man is a Legend and his Voice is iconic.
I loved James Earl Jones in The Lion King he was iconic in that role and I was thrilled when he did the live-action version as well
This man is such a legend. I'm a big fan of him. God bless him. Greetings from Brasil
This man is a true legend; I hope and pray I am blessed enough to meet him while he's still with us.
Yeah.... I wouldn't count on it.
We love you, Mr. Jones! You are awesome!
God bless this man phenomenal actor very talented
0:16 I Sure Did But Even Though I Did Cry When Mufasa Died I Had To Be Very Brave And Stay Strong For Him.
One of my favorite actors/voices. Grew up watching him narrate the Legends animated movie. Loved his character on what the deaf man heard.
It's amazing seeing James Earl Jones have such an iconic voice playing powerful and prideful characters but be such a humble, happy, down to earth person in real life.
This man is a legend his voice is beautiful and unique
james, such a wise and wonderful man. he has such a talent with voice acting and acting as well. he should always live forever.

Amazing classic guy!
I wish more actors could do this because it's nice seeing one reflect about his or her acting career.
We must protect this man at all costs
What a sweet soul!!
I think I am gonna cry harder when HE leaves us than I did when Mufasa died.
He’s a legend !
He’s such a sweetheart lol
There were so many other parts he played I would have loved her to ask him about. Great man.
Happy Belated 90th Birthday to the Legend, James Earl Jones 2021!!!

James Earl Jones is a legend that will never be forgotten.
We must protect him at all costs
Excuse me, Scar. This is our moment with Earl Jones (Mufasa). Not you
Shadow *The Strong Hearted* Fighter lol scar made the movie and is an icon. He’s easily a top 3 Disney villain with Maleficent and Jafar, number one for a lot of people.
He... is so.... CUUUUUUUUTE!!!!! 😍
This is so wonderful!
James: George Lucas is very careful about the stuff he wrote
Meanwhile, David Prowse pulls a Homer Simpson
GOD I LOVE U JAMEY. U R MY FAVOURITE VOICE FOR THE EVIL SPACE SAMURAI LION. He is just so awesome.
I go back to "Claudine" and "The Bingo long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings" with him. National treasure
This man is a legendary actor!
I adore him!🙂
This man was iconic as Thulsa Doom in ConanThe Barbarian, such conviction with just a stare, he is a true master at his craft.
HE IS SOOOO COOOOOLLLLL
Aww he such a cute ol man. Love his voice bless him
He was also great as Thulsa Doom as well.
+CBright7831 fuck yeah my favorite

He's such an icon that he was even able to reprise his role in the 2019 CGI remake of The Lion King.

Somebody get this man a comedy, now!
Beautiful man, I love him so much!
My son works?!
With the Rebellion
More like "?!!".

For a man who had a bad stutter as a child! God bless that school teacher who brought him out of that shell. And God bless James Earl Jones.
"And I... was never here."
James Earl Jones is God in human form and his voice :) . His voice is simply god like when he does the voice of Mufasa and Darth Vader .
love him..thnk u
James Earl Jones and David Attenborough, legendary voices I never forget.
Dude's a Legend!
James Earl Jones always has a unique voice especially when he voiced Mufasa, my favorite lion from the Lion King. Too bad Mufasa’s death scene was sad even though I don’t cry very often. I just find that scene sad.
I NEED A MOVIE.
MORGAN FREEMAN.

TWO OLD MEN MAKING ASSES OF THEMSELVES BUT COMEDIC AND LIGHT HEARTED.
