Hollywood has just lost an indelible icon with the passing of James Earl Jones. The stage and screen actor made it to the ripe old age of 93, and filled those years with some of the most memorable film roles in cinema history thanks in part to his deep, commanding, unmistakable voice.

It’s hard to believe he didn’t speak for most of his childhood because of a stammer, but it was that speech impediment that led him to cultivate the booming voice audiences came to know and love. But his sensual vocal chords weren’t the only thing to love about him. After debuting in front of the camera with small television roles, he graduated to film with the classic Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in 1964, and ten years later was treating fans to the first and only look at his fanny as Harlem garbage collector Roop in Claudine.

James’ amazing ass comes into view as he’s laying in bed and then gives an even better look when he stands up to pull on a pair of briefs. About twenty minutes later we get a peek of cheek again in the bathroom and then he slyly dodges a full package reveal by covering with a sheet.

He may have been the second Black man to be nominated for an Oscar after Syndey Poitier, but he was first in our hearts thanks to enduring roles in Roots, Field of Dreams, Coming to America, and The Sandlot. However he’ll be forever remembered as the voice of two famous film fathers: Mufasa in The Lion King and one of the greatest villains of all time, Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise. Rest in peace to the daddy of all daddies.
