'''James Earl Jones''' (born January 17, 1931) is an Academy Award-nominated and Tony Award-winning actor known for his work on stage, in film, and on television since the 1960s. However, his greatest contribution to pop culture is supplying the deep, menacing voice of {{w|Darth Vader}} in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films. He was nominated for the {{w|Academy Award for Best Actor}} for ''{{w|The Great White Hope (film)|The Great White Hope}}'' (1970).
 
  
Jones made his first vocal appearance on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in "[[Treehouse of Horror]]," where he was heard in all three segments, the only special guest voice to date who holds that distinction: as the moving man in "Bad Dream House," [[Serak]] the preparer in "Hungry Are the Damned" and [[The Raven Narrator|the narrator]] in "The Raven." He later voiced an alternate-universe [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] in "[[Treehouse of Horror V]]" and the closing narrator in "[[Das Bus]]," explaining that the children were rescued by, "oh, let's say [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]]."
