Watching Lilo and Stitch with my son, never seen it, and heard James Earl Jones’ voice one of the characters. I thought “that guy has to be dead right?” He was old in the Sandlot.

Dude is still alive! Holy shite. That’s all.

He just turned 89 on 01/17/2020, according to IMDb

I never knew he was from a little Mississippi town south of Memphis. Nor did I know they remade Driving Miss Daisy. Why?

That’s not James Earl Jones. It’s Vingh Rhames.

It's just a filming from a theatrical run, they didn't really go and "remake" it.

And I’m surer that you’re wrong and it’s Rhames.

Diana Cary played Baby peggy way back in the day, she is younger than Olivia.

I saw her many times in the 1970's when they used to show silent movies on Sunday night on Baton Rouge TV.

Jones is the end all, Be all voice in the history of cinema. Yeah, his Vader is obviously more famous, but I'll take Thulsa Doom all day.

Contemplate this on the tree of Woe... Crucify him


Fun fact, while Jones was working on Conan, he was supposed to be the snake lord, and head of the Csnake cult and He constantly had snakes around him and on him. BUT due to his survival training when he was in the Army, he was so calm around snakes that they fell asleep and were lathargic constantly while he handled them. They actually had to wake them up and stoke them during takes just to get them to move so they didn't look fake or dead.
