James Earl Jones was a great actor with an unforgettable voice. His dignity, with respect and a wonderful voice left imprints on all of us. Never forget him because, he will always be memorable. Marion Hunter.
Can I just say how fitting they included The Lion King clip in this tribute? Such an incredible film, and even more importantly, so deserved to be there among James Earl Jones' roles. Long live the King, indeed!

Why is he reading from cue cards? 🤦🏼♀️He’s one of our greatest actors! He’s delivered longer monologues than this and managed to memorize those. (Reference: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner)
Perhaps because he wanted the speech to be pristine. Because… it was live. He was like, 74! And, it wasn’t a film…. There were no edits. And, he wanted to make sure he honored his dear friend perfectly. Flawlessly.
