favicon.ico Legendary actor James Earl Jones dies at 93 - ABC News

Legendary actor James Earl Jones, best known for voicing the character of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" franchise, has died.

I knew him from the Hunt for the Red October, The Sandlot, and Field of Dreams before I knew he was the voice of Darth Vader. An amazing actor on the screen and on the stage.

I think Conan the Barbarian was probably the first movie that I remember him being in. What a voice and what an actor - 93 is a pretty good crack, but this is still sad news

      I like Justin Rose and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win another major, I just didn’t want him to win this one 😃

      I think Rose might have the most zeroed out putting stroke of anyone out there, although as golfing superpowers go that would be one of the most useless.

      Justin Rose

      By iacas ·

      He's been a top 100 golfer for almost his entire career, yeah. That's not easy to do, especially as you get into your 40s. And, all without any real "superpowers." He's not incredibly great at any one thing. He's very well rounded.

      By Zeph ·

      Always been a fan of Rose. He seems like a decent human being first of all. When there's some chatter at the tee he says "Quiet guys, please. Thank you" in a friendly tone. He's always given the impression of being a stand-up guy, supportive of his colleagues and competitors. A friendly face. His performance as a golfer is more about consistency through his entire career than the large number of wins. He's always around, but had the potential to win more. This Masters they made a point out of him having almost twice as many lead/co-lead rounds without a win than the next guy on the list. 11 wins on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour and the single major, but a lot of top ten finishes. Erik's comparison to Adam Scott is on point, as the stats demonstrates in the images below. Starting their careers during the reign of Tiger didn't make things easier, but there are few players with more than 15 wins on the PGAT the last ~30 years. I only counted eight from this list. I'd love to see him win at Augusta. Rory is one of very few players I'd pick over Rose.
