James Earl Jones: His Career in Pictures
James Earl Jones is remembered for his performances as Darth Vader in 'Star Wars,' Mufasa in 'The Lion King,' 'Conan the Barbarian,' 'Dr. Strangelove' and more.
From the evil Darth Vader from George Lucas’ “Star Wars” to the regal Mufasa from Disney’s The Lion King,” Jones’ deep baritone was a commanding and dominant presence wherever he appeared. However, the villainous fallen Jedi would come to be the defining character of Jones’ film career, reprising the role in Lucas’ prequel trilogy as well as Disney’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Image Credit: ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Jones played the deputy director of the CIA in John McTiernan’s submarine suspense classic, acting among a stacked cast including Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Tim Curry, Sam Neill and Courtney B. Vance.
