A commanding presence onscreen who nonetheless gained greater fame off-camera as the sonorous voice of Star Wars villain Darth Vader.

He served in the Army in the early fifties, going through infantry and ranger school. He was honorably discharged as a 1LT and used his GI Bill to go to acting school. He will be missed.

He lived in the same county as me, He was a staunch defender of the 2nd amendment and an all around nice guy. He used to come in the antique shop my Mom managed.

Multi-talented and a true gentleman!!

 

The entertainment world is smaller with him not in it.

One of my favorite of his roles was Mr Mertle, owner of "The Beast" in The Sandlot.  

 

Thank you for the entertainment, Mr Jones!  :)

Love him in that film.  "You in trouble aren't you son?  I take it back, you're not in trouble, you're dead where you stand!"
