James Earl Jones receives an Honorary Award at the 2011 Governors Awards

[@JediPhoenix1976]

Before this night, James Earl Jones had already won two Tonys, two Emmys and a Grammy. This is when he became one of the few to reach EGOT status. Long live the king.

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

This one hurts, he was the voice of some of my best childhood memories. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Mr. Jones. May you rest in peace sir.

[@GoatLuffy_97]

Rest in peace James Earl Jones. May the Force be with you.

[@BabyLambCreations]

To think this man went from having a stuttering problem to having one of the most recognizable voices in cinema history, and speaking very eloquently. If there's one thing I admire about James Earl Jones besides his phenomenal acting, it's his incredible sense of humor. There will never be anyone quite like him ever again. Thank you, Mr. Jones. ❤

RIP James Earl Jones

[@annalaw4684]

Mr. J. E. Jones was one of the most finest, GOD gifted, talented actors of all time!!!! Mr. Jones had a resemblance to my father, both men had a manner that reminded me of one another!! Similar to my father, Mr. Jones presented himself as a gentleman of principles, morals and good character!!! Mr. Jones you were in many great movies, nonetheless, I will always remember your characters best in Claudine/A Piece of the Action!!!! Rest in GOD'S presence, Mr. Jones, you were Blest with a long, full life, condolences to your family!!!!!

And I enjoy listening to Jeremy Irons as well....

[@rickdeckardbladerunner2049]

My favorite film of his was Field of Dreams. I grew up watching his films. He finally gets to see what is in the corn field for real and maybe play some baseball! It brang tears to my eyes hearing of his passing. Its as if he was a family member all these years and ive never met the man.

[@sps9491]

James Earl Jones is one of my favorite actors. He has plenty of iconic roles: Darth Vader, Mufasa, the King Joffer... A humble gentleman and a true living legend! 🤩🌟

@garykingzz: Lucky you ! I traveled to London three times and saw the play six times. I never managed to see him. It was an incredible honour to see him performing on stage. I had waited for that since I saw him in " Roots " in 1981.

[@PaNdeM0niuM]

So many legends on stage. Vanessa Redgrave, Ben Kingsley and James Early Jones

[@gnalkhere]

God, I love his voice. I couldn't help but quote Sexy Beast when I saw Ben Kingsley pops up

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

Long live the king.

Rest in peace you wonderful prodigious human. I will always love you for your role in Conan the Barbarian. Even as a child who didn't even understand English, I felt the *gravitas* of every line you spoke. It was a universal language of acting. Godspeed, you join the great concord of eternals.
