“George [Lucas] wanted, pardon the expression, a darker voice, so he hires a guy born in Mississippi, raised in Michigan, who stutters. That’s the voice, that’s me. I lucked out. From all these so-called handicaps, I lucked out to get a job that paid me $7,000, and I thought that was good money.”
Good voice, good man. RIP sir.
One of the greatest voices ever. Shear power in that deep booming voice.

I guess James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew can now all ride together.

Oh no. King Jaffe Joffer of Zamunda is dead!
Sesame Street in mourning.Very fine actor.

RIP
RIP
Recall him reading Frederick Douglass “what does july 4th mean to the slave”
What a powerful orator.
Mufasa supreme
Not a widely beloved performance, but on this episode of Prairie Home Companion, he plays Jim from Huckleberry Finn, catching up with ol’ Huck. One of my all-time favorite bits.

Zamunda mourns.
Does anyone else remember “Long Ago and Far Away?”
The finest watch commander Mathnet ever had.
