Perhaps James Earl Jones’ abilities as an actor earned him his Hollywood status, but it’s his unique voice that gave him the edge.
Often described as possessing “the voice of God,” this actor is best known for his roles of wise elders and terrifying villains.
The world got a taste of Jones’ talent in 1982 “The Flight of Dragons,” but he really became internationally recognized after “Star Wars” and “Lion King.”
