One thing that a lot of people don't know or don't mention is he overcame speech issues to be an icon in speech!

I just saw that! He stuttered so badly he stopped speaking for years until one of his teachers asked him to read the poetry he wrote to the class, and when he did, he didn't stutter. Reminds me of another iconic man who had a stuttering problem....
 
Rest in peace.

Of course he's an actor and there's only so much you can truly know about a person from the roles they play, but what always struck me about James Earl Jones is that under the characters he played was the heart of an intensely kind man.

Exactly. I’ve mentioned before - if they always play the same type of character, or at least mostly, chances are that’s how they are in real life. At least I would hope so.
