James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones 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 contributions to pop culture is supplying the deep, menacing voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars films and Mufasa in The Lion King.

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," the narrator in "The Raven." He later voiced an alternate-universe 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."
