Last Friday, I caught NPR’s interview of James Earl Jones, and I learned a few surprising things:
Jones is one of the distinctive voices of our time, yet few people know he fights a stutter.
I believe that qualifies as ironic.
The Tony-Award winning actor took just one day to record the voice track for Darth Vader in Star Wars.
He got a few thousand dollars for a few hours work, and he was fine with that. In fact, he didn’t even consider it real acting; it was just special effects.
