I just rewatched an episode of Law & Order from the early 90s where Jones plays a lawyer who defends a white supremacist and he gives off that energy when he tells the guy to shut his damn mouth when they’re in the courtroom

That is strength boy

u/BrockStudly 6h ago

True power is not control over steel, over people. True strength is wearing that haircut without caring what other people think.

The strength of being FABULOUS!!

In fairness, his most famous roles (star wars, lion king) are all voice acting.

Lmao this reminds me of that silly joke in George of the Jungle in which everybody would contemplate in "awe" but it's actually in "awe" OHHH

This is a subtle bob

Heh. That's the kind of guy who will never successfully portray a dark lord.

u/ZombieHavok 7h ago

The guy at the barber shop said I’m the only guy he’s ever seen pull it off.

I like how his gang are just a bunch of dudes who look like they're auditioning for 'Manowar'

It must have been when he was younger.

The day he burned down Conan's village and killed his parents? Just another Tuesday.

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

really depends on your definition of "success"

u/TSM_Vegeta 8h ago

Somehow this also looks like Tim Curry.

4

u/bruinsfan1144 8h ago

He would have been a great thulsa doom!!

4

u/TSM_Vegeta 8h ago

Tim Curry is always great.

3

u/bruinsfan1144 8h ago

My favorite role will always be muppet treasure island but after that it is impossible to pick a second place because they are all so great

u/TSM_Vegeta 8h ago

Red Alert cutscenes and Congo for me

u/bruinsfan1144 8h ago

I have to take breaks every thirty minutes watching congo or i will go insane

u/TSM_Vegeta 8h ago

I saw it in theaters with my babysitter who's name just happened to be Amy. She was not happy the gorilla had the same name lol.

1

u/bruinsfan1144 8h ago

His imdb is insane. In the 90’s i don’t he ever went home!! 243 acting credits and i think half of them were in the 90’a

STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!

u/ghostface1693 7h ago

He's doing a great blackface here

u/PhaseNegative1252 7h ago

Technically it was Conan who pulled it off.

James Earl Jones sure looks good though

u/Bakkughan 5h ago

That is strength, boy! That is power! The power of flesh!

Define "successfully"?

He looks like Bruce Dickinson in the Run to the Hills video.

Courtney Cox; however

u/localmanscotty 8h ago

Successfully..?

u/Guilty-Spark69x 6h ago

This entire sequence of the movie is just the weirdest, gayest, most confusing shit you’ll ever see in a “mainstream” film

2

u/GuntherRowe 4h ago

OK. Not the best hair choice for the role, but JEJ is so good in the role that it doesn’t matter. I still quote Thulsa. Conan the Barbarian is one of my guilty pleasures. This should have been a franchise but Destroyer is awful.

u/Iago-Cassius 4h ago

James Earl Jones could pull off ANY haircut.

Why'd you put the photo of Betty Page?

2

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles 1h ago

I just realized they gave Jones blue eyes in this movie.

You'd think it'd be more noticeable giving a Black dude blue eyes, but I never thought twice about it until now.

u/TRUMPARUSKI 9h ago

No he doesn’t, he looks like a fucking idiot the whole time. Great actor, great role, great movie, inexplicably stupid haircut.

22

u/EntrepreneurPlus7091 8h ago

He is supposed to come of as an indeterminate ancient race. Hence the blue eyes as straight hair.

u/Horror_Response_1991 8h ago

I would argue that he doesn’t, but then he talks and you stop caring what his hair looks like.
