My childhood he was the voice of Mufasa. Later he was Vader(much later, Star Wars was an acquired taste). He narrated Earth. He's one of the comforting voices of growing up a Disney kid. Very sad day.

He didn't play Murphy, but this is still awesome.

By the way, his pay for voicing Darth in SW? 7k. He did it in a few hours I think.

And he is uncredited in the first Star Wars movie. Didn't want to eclipse the actor physically portraying Darth Vader.

I really hope he negotiated a huge deal for Empire, and when Lucas objected, he just said "I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further."

FIeld of Dreams was the third of my Rewatchable threads earlier this year.
The review from Roger Ebert about the speech is really nice if you'd like to read.

I still smile when he tells the boys his ball has Babe Ruth's autograph "with the rest of the 1927 Yankees"

Was at Magic Kingdom watching the fireworks last night. There is a solid 10 second part with Mufasa. It definitely hit different, and this grown man teared up.
