Sly Ronnie 852 Posted September 9 Funnily enough, it was only yesterday I was reading about a film he starred in called The Man, where he plays a black President of the United States (albeit by a curious route) decades before Barack Obama. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 866 Posted September 9 This one hits hard. One voice I truly am going to miss. Not just as the voice of DF or Mufasa in the Lion King but also as an actor in Coming to America or the Jack Ryan series. Unmistaken and eternally a Legend!! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the day when they gave it out for doing something meaningful to the company (or a part of the company it acquired), instead of bullshit PR reasons.

RoverAndOut 4,673 Posted September 9 What a loss. Superb actor and that voice will live on forever. (Not least because Disney own his voice for Darth Vader purposes). RIP James. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
