Let’s not forget Dr Strangelove where he played Zogg (Lt. Lothar Zogg that is)!
Seeing this episode, he seemed like such a great person.
And that scene where he rings her doorbell was the first time they ever met in person.
For years my wife and I went to the opening day of the Kane County Cougars with another couple. We would grill up some food, watch the Field of Dreams monologue and head off to the game. Great stuff.
Thanks so much for these. Best. Episode. EVAr.
I don’t seem to recall him in any Bond film.
A lesser-known role of his.
Here’s James Earl Jones as Paul Robeson testifying in front of HUAC:
EDIT- Well done, whoever came p with that thumbnail.
Was @Alvin_Goodman maybe thinking of Yaphet Kotto?
You are correct and I was mistaken.
A little-known role of his was a shipwrecked sailor held in captivity in late Edo period Japan in the 1981 film The Bushido Blade
My favorite online tribute so far. Celebrating his appearances on Sesame Street
Jones also has the distinction of being the first major celebrity to appear on Sesame Street , having appeared in the program’s test pilots back in 1969. Those segments would later be reused throughout the show’s first season. He would return to the show in 1978, appearing as himself, a great movie star, who comes to Sesame Street on the hunt for the perfect egg cream in Episode 1148. A year later, he hosted the tenth anniversary special, A Walking Tour of Sesame Street , and shared his favorite Sesame moments in season 35.
Jeez, the tension had me on the edge of my seat!
Dang. This somehow makes Vader even more frightening.
