Personal Fact of James Earl Jones | |
Widely regarded as “one of America’s most distinguished and versatile” actors, James Earl Jones is a veteran entertainer who has enjoyed a long and productive career spanning over five decades. He is also a voice actor who voiced the character Darth Vader in the Star Wars film franchise. Given the tremendous success he has achieved as a film and voice actor it is hard to believe that he was once a shy, self-conscious child who suffered from a stuttering problem. He worked hard to overcome his stuttering with the help of his teacher. Initially he had no plans to be an actor and was intent on studying medicine. However he soon realized that medicine was not his real calling and joined the military during the Korean War. It was during this period that he discovered his love for acting and became involved with the Ramsdell Theatre. He made his Broadway debut after being discharged from the military and went on to have a successful stage career that earned him several awards and accolades. He made a smooth transition into films with the role of Lt. Lothar Zogg in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. He is renowned for portraying versatile roles in his films and has also made several appearances in television series. |
