James Earl Jones, RIP

Just heard the heartbreaking news, one of the greatest, most awesome and all time INCREDIBLE actors of all time, as well as one of the sweetest, kindest and most selfless human beings ever, has passed away. The seemingly immortal James Earl Jones, one of the most famous actors of his generation, well respected on both big and small screens AND on the stage for over SEVEN DECADES, respeonsible for portraying some of my favourite screen characters ever ... this might be the one that hurts me the most this year ...

Of course, like everybody, he will FOREVER be most closely associated with Star Wars, as the voice of probably the greatest screen villain of all time, Darth Vader.

But he was also King Jaffe Joffer, the father of Eddie Murphy's wayward prince in Coming to America and its sequel ...

The Counter Culture author Terence Mann in the magnificent Field of Dreams, as well as ...

NSA Agent Abbott in director Phil Alden Robinson's next film, the underrrated suspense thriller Sneakers ...

Simba's dad Mufasa in The Lion King ...

Jack Ryan's CIA boss and father figure, Admiral Jim Greer, in The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games AND Clear & Present Danger ...

Lt. Luther Zogg in one of my favourite screen comedies of all time, Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb (his VERY FIRST big screen role) ...

and, of course, MY very favourite role that he EVER PLAYED, the role I will always MOST FONDLY remember him for, one of my very favourite ever screen villains, the dastardly ancient wizard Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian.

Oh yeah, and also those brilliant and thoroughly hilarious Sprint adverts in which he and Malcolm McDowell would read out inane social media posts with the utmost gravitas as though it was Shakespeare ...

The man had an AMAZING RUN, and he is guaranteed to go down as one of the all time greats, beloved around the world and destined to become one of the true icons of the 20th AND 21st Centuries, remembered LONG after his passing. But he's STILL gone far too soon ...

James Earl Jones, January 17th 1931 - September 9th 2024. Rest In Power.

King Jaffe: I know you have been inconvenienced and am prepared to compensate you. Shall we say one million American dollars?

Cleo: No way!

 King Jaffe: Very well then. 2 million. 

Cleo: You haven't got enough money to buy my daughter off.

King Jaffe: Nonsense!

Queen Aoleon: Jaffe, apologize to Mr. McDowell.

King Jaffe: I will do no such thing. The man is beneath me, and so is his daughter.

Cleo: I don't care who you are. This is America, Jack. Now you say one more word about Lisa here, and I'ma bust up your royal body.

King Jaffe: Pardon me?

We've lost a legend

Status Post #11381: James Earl Jones has passed away at age 93 and I'm really gutted about it. Now, I would include Darth Vader and Mufasa but instead, I'm going with his roles as Thulsa Doom and King Jaffe Joffer instead.

Several years ago, before I joined Tumblr, I posted this on James Earl Jones's birthday. Posting here for the first time. I hope you think it's funny.

RIP

This one hits hard!!!

I absolutely loved James Earl Jones, his voice is/was so iconic.

I know death comes to us all, and he lived to 93, but it still hurts my cold, dead heart.

I hope his soul has a peaceful journey back to the stars

Oha: This is King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda. He is searching for his son, Akeem.

McDowell: Your son?King

King Jaffe: Yes, my son, my prince.

McDowell: Prince? Are you serious?

Oha:  Prince Akeem is the sole heir to the throne of Zamunda.

McDowell: I always knew there was something special about that boy.

- King Jaffe: Can you tell us where he might be?

- McDowell: Oh yes, he's out with my lovely daughter Lisa.

King Jaffe: I'm staying at the Waldorf-Astoria. When you see him, could you call me?

 McDowell: I'll tell him you're here.

King Jaffe:  No. Do not alert him to my presence. I shall deal with him myself.

Oha: For your trouble.

McDowell: Thank you, your Royalness.  A prince!
