Earl Jones, the actor whose rich baritone provided the voice for Star Wars villain Darth Vader, has died at age 93, his representatives said Monday. Jones, who also voiced King Mufasa in Disney’s animated feature “The Lion King,“ had a prolific and varied career.
Over six decades he worked with some of the greatest figures in cinema and theater, including Stanley Kubrick in his 1964 Cold War satire Dr Strangelove. He also had roles in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Conan The Barbarian and the 1989 Kevin Costner movie Field of Dreams.While Darth Vader’s immense physicality was the result of the towering British actor David Prowse, the sinister voice that appeared to emanate from inside the reconstructed man-in-a-mask was Jones.
And it was Jones who gave the Star Wars franchise some of its most memorable lines, including when he reveals to Luke Skywalker – played by a young Mark Hamill – “I am your father.” Hamill took to social media on Monday to share news of Jones‘ death, writing simply: “ #Rip dad” with a broken heart emoji.
