This is a most sad day... RIP James Earl Jones. :(

I had the pleasure of attending the stage show of Driving Miss Daisy 10 years or so ago, starring James Earl Jones and Angela Lansbury, which was fantastic. It is now available online;

Yeah was great to see. I was only a few rows off the front too, so was very close to the actors/stage. It was an excellent stage adaptation of Driving Miss Daisy. If you get time, it's worth watching in full.

James Earl Jones also did a voice cameo on The Simpsons if anyone remembers... The Raven episode;

A long life, bringing much joy, RIP David Graham. :(

He was the voices of Parker, Brains and more in Thunderbirds.

Here he is with Tom Baker in the "City of Death" Dr Who episode, as he was a frequent guest actor on the original Dr Who series;

However, he was also one of the original Dalek voices in Doctor Who.

yeah just heard about Frank Fritz. That's too bad for sure. I've watched a fair bit of that show - it's very "low effort easy watching." Fritz was a likeable guy...


And John Amos!! Holy smoke...I'm pretty shocked that dude was still alive. I mean Good Times is 5 decades old! But he was great...

The Washington Post had a pretty good write-up on him this morning. He definitely is worth of appreciation.
 

kind of lost in the slew of celeb deaths but this guy is a celeb to the closet engineers
