James Earl Jones was one of the greatest actors on stage and screen. Jones was among the few to win an EGOT, which means he earned an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
His Oscar was honorary, but he won two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Daytime Emmy, a Grammy for spoken word in 1977, and three Tony Awards for his work on Broadway.
Jones appeared in several movies, including Conan the Barbarian opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the 1989 classic Field of Dreams, where he co-starred with Kevin Costner.
Jones was best known for voicing Darth Vader, one of the most famous villains in the history of cinema. Although British actor David Prowse provided Darth Vader's physical presence, it was James Earl Jones' deep, menacing voice that made the character unforgettable.
One of his most memorable lines was when Darth Vader revealed to Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, "I am your father," a moment that became iconic in movie history. (ANI)
