James Earl Jones will always be the voice of Darth Vader to me. Oh, and the CNN thing. But he does have 190 acting credits to his name.
I saw The Lion King once but don't have a lot of memories from it. Not because I was young (far from it), but it wasn't a movie that interested me at the time.
if there is another role I remember him in it would be Terrance Mann in Field of Dreams. But the way he makes fun of himself when he appeared in The Big Bang Theory was priceless.
I debated on the topic for today's post. I had a few ideas. Top Ten: James, Darth Vader catchphrases, Memorable roles...but in the end, since many celebrities have made memorable cameos in that now iconic show:
The Top Ten Cameos on The Big Bang Theory
10. Wil Wheaton: His frequent appearances on the show may have resurrected his career.
9. William Shatner, Joe Manganiello, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kevin Smith. They were all in the same scene, so they're all at #9
8. Nathan Fillion: Raj is convinced it isn't Nathan Fillion but they wrangle a selfie anyway after this exchange:
7. George Takei. If you didn't know he was gay before...
6. Bill Nye. The restraining order guy.
5. Adam West. Best line: Happy birthday, Sherman.
4. Mark Hamill. His scene marrying Sheldon and Amy is priceless.
3. Stephen Hawking. A bit of a cameo slut (and I say that with the upmost respect.) He's made several appearances on that Big Bang as well as The Simpsons, Futurama, and on in Star Trek TNG.
2. Bob Newhart. No, it wasn't a cameo, but his role as Professor Proton and how he performed it showed what a comedic talent he was.
