😭😭😭😭

[sent]

I really liked him. His voice and presence always reminded me of a dear roommate's father who has also passed.

I think my favorite movies with him were Lion King and Coming to America.

Mark Hamill tweeted “RIP Dad 💔”

I loved anything James Earl Jones was in. So sad.

[keyslover]

So many good movies.
He was a legend.

[Deleted]

For reasons I’ve never been able to pin down, Field of Dreams is my favorite movie ever. I don’t particularly like baseball, nor do I really care that much Kevin Costner. But I can close my eyes and imagine JEJ with a huge grin on his face trying so start the wave on wooden bleachers in the middle of an Iowa cornfield.

May his memory be a blessing.

[momin2013]

Aww so sad - May he rest In peace. One of the most memorable voices of our time, for sure.

[SwimDeep]

He is one of the easiest actors for me to recognize because of his voice. Right up there with Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren and Judy Dench. 😥

[Poeticxpassion]

No! That’s impossible. 😭😭

[livinitup]

I didn’t realize until I read his obit today that he earned an EGOT ! (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).

What a talent ! He also struck me as a really great person, too.

💔

[cville]

Somehow, 93 years wasn't enough.

[Nonny]

I feel like he narrated my whole childhood with his movies.

[ssmjlm]

I honestly don't know what we'll do without his voice.

So many of the narrators now just don't have the same depth.

[lavenderblue]

I don't usually cry at celebrity deaths, but this one made me tear up. So many amazing movies. And not only did he have an amazing voice but his smile would just light up the screen. May he rest in peace.

[shauni27]

I did not realize he was 93, that shocked me. May his memory be a blessing to his loved ones.

[starburst604]

This was on the news and DD said "that's the blind guy with the scary dog in The Sandlot!". So precious to so many.

[simpsongal]

What a titan - we watched the first Simpson's Halloween special last night in his honor (he voices characters in all three vignettes). DH was saying he loved him in Dr. Strangelove.

I have no doubt we'll continue to hear his voice in ai applications both good and terrible

[maudefindlay]

A voice he worked hard for having to overcome a severe stutter. He was a true champion.

[glw]

I met him when I was 18 and a tech at a performing arts center. He was very nice to me the theater geek who knew of him only from Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre

Very much so. 

One of my favorites episodes of the Big Bang Theory was the one with Sheldon and JEJ hanging out after Sheldon approached him at a dinner to ask him to attend his own comic con. 

[underwaterrhymes]

I follow Ally Henny and Mookie the Magnificent and both have shared that James Earl Jones said some derogatory things about Black women.

Henny has asked white people to not comment on her page in response to this, so I am not sharing my personal thoughts on this here, but I encourage people to visit her FB page to learn more.

Carrie Fisher was in that episode too! They did ding dong ditch at her front door.
