ElleryAnne September 10 Share September 10 I know the "all connected in the great circle of life" is the goal of that scene, and it's beautiful, and his voice is so majestic and yet warm and caring. But right now, it hurts hearing him say, "one day the sun will set on my time here." Because 93 years is a good long life, but I'm still sad that the sun set on his time here. Each year, we note so many celeb deaths in this thread. And each year, two or three are really painful ones, because they're people who've just contributed to our world and culture in a way that we feel more than the rest. Mr. Jones is one of those. At the end of the year, he'll be the one that I'll think that of. It's the next day, and I'm still kind of teary-eyed seeing the tributes and hearing his voice. 9 1 2 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/65/#findComment-8453297

Wiendish Fitch September 10 Share September 10 (edited) One of the all time great talents (and voices) is gone forever. James Earl Jones's voice was so haunting, memorable and (forgive the cliche) iconic, it's hard to believe he struggled with a stutter in his youth. What I loved about Jones was that he really was an "actor's actor". I normally don't like that expression, but when you think about it, he was. Jones really did have a passion and respect for his craft, and stardom never seemed to be his MO. He could headline a movie (The Great White Hope) or a play (Fences), but he was able to leave indelible impressions playing supporting or even character parts. He once played a blind nursing home resident in an episode of Frasier, and it's easily one of my favorite episodes of the series.

One of my favorites was essentially a cameo in Sneakers.

Yes! Good episode, that - his character's fond reminiscing about his wife and her face is so sweet, he really makes you connect with this character who's only in a few scenes of the episode. I also remember him being in a "Will & Grace" episode once - I think he was part of Jack's acting class? Or in an acting class that Jack was also in? He was supposed to pretend to be a character carrying a purse or something, and I just remember him being really funny in that episode. That shot of the Empire State Building is very cool.

andromeda331 September 11 Share September 11 (edited) My second favorite Big Bang Theory is when Sheldon meets James Earl Jones. Sheldon stops in front of hs table in the restaurant and is so excited he can't even speak. Which is exactly how I'd react if I saw James Earl Jones. James Earl Jones: [looks up from his menu to see Sheldon standing there] Let me guess: you like Star Wars. Sheldon Cooper: [nods] James Earl Jones: You know I've been in other movies. Sheldon Cooper: [nods again] James Earl Jones: But you don't care about those, do you? Sheldon Cooper: [shakes his head] James Earl Jones: [motions Sheldon closer] I have one thing to say to people like you: I like Star Wars too! Care to join me? I do love all his other movies. But Star Wars is in a different catagory. I would hope he's love it too. I always wonder with actors and actresses how they feel about being approached by fans of their older movies they were in instead of the current ones. I know Harrison Ford used to get tired of being recognized as Han Solo. I don't know if he still does. I get it because he's been in a lot of really good movies too. But Han Solo! They spend the rest of the night together going to a strip club, Santa Monica Ferris Wheel, and ring the doorbell at Carrie Fisher's house and run off. Apparently James does that a lot to Carrie. She opens the door with a bat and telling it's not funny anymore. I wish to do all that with James Earl Jones too. Although I'd risk being a hit by a bat to talk to Carrie Fisher. I mean, it's Carrie Fisher. Edited September 11 by andromeda331 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/65/#findComment-8453803

Then Jack and/or Karen tried to get him to change his voice because they thought it was wrong for an actor or something like that, and got him to talk in a high, squeaky voice.
