The actor James Earl Jones has died, several American media reports. Jones was well known for his deep voice, which he lent to the character Darth Vader in the “Star Wars” universe.

But even though the distinctive voice is perhaps what most people associate with Darth Vader, Jones initially did not want any credit for his voice use. He did not want to take the attention away from the actor who physically played the character. Experienced actor James Earl Jones entered the acting profession already in the 1960s. He visited both TV, film and theatre, which is also reflected in the many awards he received. Jones is one of relatively few actors who have been able to adorn themselves with the so-called EGOT label. This means that he has won both Emmy, Oscar, Grammy and Tony awards. During the Emmy Awards in 1991, Jones received a pie in the face, as part of a planned stunt. Photo: Ap Published 09/09/2024, at 22.45 Updated 10.09.2024, at 10.50
