Today would have been James Earl Jones’s 95th birthday.
Today’s scene that I love features him reacting to an impromptu visit from Kevin Costner in 1989’s Field of Dreams. With his famous voice, his good humor, and his own inspiring story of overcoming a childhood stutter to become one of our greatest actors, it’s often easy to forget that some of Jones’s best moments came when he played characters who were just fed up with the stupidity of the world.
