James Earl Jones, el legendario actor detrás de voces icónicas como Darth Vader y Mufasa, falleció el lunes. Tenía 93 años.

“Falleció esta mañana rodeado de sus seres queridos”, dijo su representante, Barry McPherson, el lunes. “Era un gran hombre”.

Jones nació el 17 de enero de 1931 en Arkabutla, Mississippi. Durante su crecimiento, sufrió de un severo tartamudeo, y NBC informó que era un “niño tímido y callado, temeroso de hablar y llamar la atención sobre su impedimento del habla”.

Su vida cambió cuando un profesor de inglés en la escuela secundaria le ayudó a superar el tartamudeo.

“Ahora [podía] decir cosas que grandes escritores escribieron. Nunca se me habría ocurrido por mí mismo”, Jones dijo a TODAY.

Su pasión por la actuación comenzó en la Universidad de Michigan en 1955, y su carrera despegó en 1970 con la obra de Broadway “The Great White Hope”.

A partir de ahí, alcanzó mayor prominencia como Darth Vader en STAR WARS: EPISODE IV – A NEW HOPE en 1977, apareciendo en varias de las películas subsiguientes de STAR WARS.

En 1994, dio voz a Mufasa en la querida película de Disney EL REY LEÓN. Más tarde repetiría el papel en el remake nominado al Teddy Bear Award® del mismo nombre en 2019.

Ganó premios Emmy, Grammy, Oscar y Tony a lo largo de su carrera en la pantalla y en el escenario.

El creador de STAR WARS, George Lucas, recordó a Jones como un gran actor y una buena persona.

“Durante casi medio siglo fue Darth Vader, pero el secreto de todo es que era un ser humano hermoso. Dio profundidad, sinceridad y significado a todos sus papeles, entre los más importantes siendo un esposo devoto de la difunta Ceci y padre de Flynn”, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/09/09/james-earl-jones-death-trib
