Speaking of kings, we have to take a trip back to the 80s to see James Earl Jones in the first of his movies that really stood out — Coming to America. Yes, he had been in many movies before that, but it was as King Jaffe Joffer that those of us who grew up in the 80s really recognized him for.
We couldn’t see his actual likeness in Star Wars or The Lion King. But as Eddie Murphy’s dad, large and imposing, regal and commanding, we will never forget that role. He was the perfect foil to Eddie’s goofy comedy. He was, truly, a king.
