The voice of Darth Vader and Mufasa was accomplished on stage and screen.
Embedded in pop culture as the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, Jones was a revered actor on stage and screen, earning two Tonys and two Emmys. He voiced Darth Vader in the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, in 1977, though he asked not to be credited because he only saw his role as “special effects.” Around the same time, he won a Best Spoken Word Album Grammy for reading the Constitution and the Emancipation Proclamation on Great American Documents, alongside other notable voices such as Henry Fonda, Orson Welles, and Helen Hayes. He additionally won two Emmys in 1991 for starring in the short-lived crime drama Gabriel’s Fire along with his role in the TV film Heat Wave.
