James Earl Jones had the voice of a god and could be equally serious and hilarious. An absolute dramatic powerhouse for decades, who also seemed to be adored by his peers.

Growing up in the 90's he was a huge part of my childhood without ever seeing his face. My favourite film as a young child was The Lion King and as I got older it was Star Wars. Just a mesmerising voice. However, what stuck with me the most over the years was actually this voiceover from The Simpsons.

RIP James Earl Jones

I had the pleasure of meeting him quite a few times, a true gentleman, with such talent.
