A slightly less cliche fact about James Earl Jones: his film debut was Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove , where he plays the bombardier on the B-52[1]. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSbPqin3L6E

Just watched that for the first time like a week ago. Totally surreal seeing him as a young unknown actor in a smaller role.

For me he will always be Thulsa Doom from Conan the Barbarian. You need to watch that movie if you haven't already.

Saw that movie in the theater in my early teens. When he turns into a snake - watching that on a 30 feet high screen from the front row - scarred me for life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF0Z5g0Wjuk
