Remember "Coming to America"? Where he played the King and Madge Sinclair played the queen? Well...If James Earl Jones had gotten his way...Sinclair would be the Queen and he would have been Cleo McDowell:

^ LoL show business is a strange world :).
Interesting find though, I hadn't even heard of the film before that though :/

he has the best voice ever!
so powerful!

I'm kind of surprised that I didn't see it mentioned here yet, but he acted really well in Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun. His character there, General James Solomon http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/James_Solomon actually has many parallels with Mufasa.

You kind of see a warm gentle giant in one short clip in the intro when he says "good to see you again, Mac". But for the rest of the game, you get the kind of person you would expect someone like Mufasa to be in a war: No nonsense, get to the point, get the job done. The way he wasn't intimidated by Kane 'coming back from the dead' was just awesome on all counts. I have a blast whenever he appears on the screen. Even in the "bad guys" Nod campaign.

General Solomon = Mufasa.

James Earl Jones = Made of pure Awesomeness

I adore his voice so much. He sure is awesome.

Awesome guy. He did great voicing in Mufasa. Awesome job

I really don't think anyone could have done it better tbh. His voice is just perfect

Yeah. I love his voice. Perfect for a character like Mufasa

Indeed

I remember him and Madge Sinclair in that movie (Coming to America) it`s funny how they played King and Queen in to movies.
