Man, just saw something on-line about him and others in a cadre of 92–95-year-old actors last night. IIRC he was a 2A supporter most of his life. A great one!

I thought of that exact scene after hearing of his passing.
He certainly WAS there for many enjoyable scenes in many movies.

Sorry to hear this. He played some good roles over the years.
"But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley
James Earl Jones is an actor whose deep bass voice is one of the most recognized in Hollywood. But before he achieved fame as an actor, Jones was an Army officer.
In the summer of 1953, Jones was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army and reported to Fort Benning, Georgia, for the Officers Basic Course, followed by Ranger School.
Following training, Jones was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 38th Regimental Combat Team. His first and only assignment was to help establish a cold weather training command at the former Camp Hale near Leadville, Colorado.
