James Earl Jones, Actor Whose Voice Could Menace or Melt, Dies at 93

James Earl Jones:<p>&gt; ... and then when Lucas put the film together he realized he wanted a darker voice or a bass voice, so ... [1995]<p>&gt; George had hired David Prowse, but he said he wanted a so-called &quot;darker&quot; voice. Not in terms of ethnic, but in terms of timbre.

James Earl Jones gave life to some of the most memorable characters in film history. His voice and presence will echo through the generations. Rest in peace, and thank you for your powerful legacy.

I know people remember his voice for Vader.<p>But I think Thulsa Doom from Conan was a prime character he portrayed. Intimidating and soft. Scary, yet beguiling.
