Fucking total icon. This and King Jaffe Joffer are iconic. They may not tell a black story, but black folk or whomever need to realize that what JEJ did will be forever imprinted on the world. What more could you ask for as an entertainer? I mean Darth Vader; The most ultimate villain EVER, and Coming to America....how does this happen TWICE?
This video was helpful while writing a short essay on Oscar Michaux, one of the first Black film makers. James Earl Jones and his father Paul Roberson were both casted in Michaux's films during the mid 1900s. Michaux's films were controversial for some because his works would show relationships between both White and Black individuals. He also talked about major topics regarding education and some of the struggles the Black community faced during that time. I had no idea James Earl Jone's father was also an actor and during the Red Scare, he was blacklisted in the film industry. All of these men had an influence and impact on film during the early to mid 1900's in the film industry. Now I'm falling down a rabbit hole of information in film history :0
Is it possible to get the example of the "voice on a very narrow band of inflection"? Thank You very much for sharing Your experiences. ...The previous summer, May - July 2020 I started stuttering slightly, I thought, that I am getting stuttered... It was very stressful, these were killing thoughts and feelings.
dave prowse wasn`t scottish he was from the west country, as he was nicknamed darth farmer. and was 6ft 6in..George lucas wanted more gravitas so came upon james earl jones.
George made the right choice. James was meant for that voice part.
his default voice is already Darth Vader what a GOAT
A voice that is calm, commanding, controlled yet feared and menacing.
