How the hell do you even sum up the voice of Darth Vader and the Field of Dreams?
Rest in peace, good sir. You will never be forgotten.

I loved FoD when I was a kid and his performance was so good. The part when Kevin Costner drops him off then turns the vehicle around and the headlights land on James Earl Jones standing in the dark…
“MOONLIGHT GRAHAM”
But I am so fucking sad. I knew I’d lose him in my lifetime. But I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready anyway.
what an absolute legend
also a goddamn smokeshow
My first thought was his role in The Sandlot, but that movie came to home video when I was 8 and playing Little League so it was perfectly positioned to be a formative experience for me.
Oh, Coming to America as well, which I watched far too young to understand much of the humor.
Rest in peace, you legend.

Also holy cow how did I forget just how many times he was on The Simpsons?
But I'm still gonna cry for a bit tonight.

I genuinely thought I was ready. Turns out I’m not ready.
Does not bode well for when Sir David Attenborough finally passes. This has hit me right in the feels in a way I did not expect,

I'm throwing on the newly released UHD blu ray when I get home.
I've always loved this little sequence, just unsettlingly calm delivery, that nonetheless makes you scared shitless

Dammit. Mark Hamill is going to be so sad.
I didnt appreciate this, but the fact that his voice stands out in a series of unique sounds is fascinating
just let your soulllll glowwwwww
I still laugh my ass off evrytime Darrell's parents get up from the couch and you see the giant soul glow stains.

Yet strangely, I always think of him in one role above all else, because it's so out of left field from my normal memories of him.
Edit: Apparently he was the last surviving cast member.
I've watched this dozens of times over the years and it remains as genuinely spellbinding and hard hitting a performance every time as much as the first.
The alphabet has never sounded so powerful.
