the 'Riddle of Steel' not many lines in Conan, the Arine role is almost silent or at times cringe accent but he has an amazing physical role and it has an amazing score, the soundtrack picks up where voice left off and tells the story

There is an irony that from Star Wars the actor Mark Hamill is also ranked as one of the greatest voice actors of all time James Earl Jones and Mark Hamill ranking alongside guys like Mel Blanc

a lot of roles, and I mean A LOT of credits hundreds, plays, theater, was supposed to be a good poet, he was already known before 'Vader' they were going to give it to Orson Wells but changed their mind, deep booming voice striking features I don't know if he defined himself as African American or Black but he was of mixed heritage he knew of his Black history and lived grandmother in Memphis he had heterochromia, a rare condition that causes a person to have two different eye colors, he has one brown eye and one blue eye, he said in interview he was from both of mixed African-American, Irish, and Native American ancestry. James Earl Jones already done Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 1964, after Star Wars there was Conan the Barbarian , the Eddie Murphy comedy Coming to America (1988), and the sports drama fantasy movie Field of Dreams, The Hunt for Red October, Disney character Mufasa in the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King, Mini Series, he seems to have been still active the past 10 years Star Wars tv shows or mini series, Agent X and Coming 2 America, he had a mental complex about his voice being unfaithful to him because he would stutter but only a little but it was an issue for him.

Very unique and powerful actor, there won't be a guy like him again.
