Arguably one the greatest acting voices along with Richard Burton, Morgan Freeman & Brian Blessed in terms of sheer gravitas:

Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian is my first memory of him as a face & not just a voice....his greatest role IMO, yet haven't seen it mentioned in any of his obituaries so far.....  :huh

..I went to see James Earl Jones and Angela Lansbury when they toured Australia for the stage production of "Driving Miss Daisy"

It was brilliant and he was amazing, he had such a presence on stage; mesmerising

Loved him in "field of dreams"

RIP Legend
