Oh, bless him, such a beautiful soul, he lived extremely well and gave so much for so long.

That VOICE!!!

This was James on Sesame Street, he was the first ever celebrity guest on the show in 1969 and this is from 1970, I don't think anyone in history has ever put across the alphabet quite as good as this, it's not just the incredible intonation, but the facial expressions on some of them! Absolute Genius!!!

Literally just seen this. He will be mentioned at every awards for the next 12 months. Anyone not giving credit to what he did for the screen shouldn't be anywhere near the buisiness in my opinion.

Absolute legend of the game. Darth Vader when he wasn't allowed to be black, his presence actually made the force look weak.

Don't often feel sadness for personal unknowns but he has been around my entire life on the screen so I'm actually mourning.

Never realised this either, but his first movie role was actually in Dr Strangelove as one of the bomber pilots in 1964

Can ID that mans voice from a cough. Born with the gifts but used them so well.
