sagaftra.org | Fall/Winter 2024 | SAG-AFTRA 113 JAMES EARL JONES, an acclaimed actor and past Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement honoree, died Sept. 9 at the age of 93. Jones' distinctive deep, booming voice earned him a permanent place in American culture, with roles such as Darth Vader in the Star Wars films, Mufasa in The Lion King, and as the voice of CNN. Ironically, for someone known worldwide for his voice, he overcame stuttering early in his life. However, his voice work was only a small part of a rich and varied career for which he was given the 45th SAG Life Achievement Award. A U.S. Army veteran, Jones made his mark on film, television and stage, as well as dedicating himself to philanthropic endeavors off screen, including promoting literacy. Upon Jones' passing, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said, "James Earl Jones was a unique talent and thoughtful, profound and unwavering in his convictions. His body of work speaks volumes about his dedication, not only to the craft of acting but to the integrity and depth he brought to every role … His immense talent, boundless wisdom, and unmistakable voice will be deeply missed."
