Let's give it up to a long-time legend, who's velvety dark intonations gave life to our favorite conflicted monster, Darth Vader.

James Earl Jones, who not only voiced Vader, CNN's famed tagline, and The Lion King's "Mufasa", will be awarded a Screen Actor's Guild Lifetime Achievement Award for his countless hours of hard work on and off the screen providing wonderful performances and being an ongoing beacon of hope for efforts to improve literacy for all.

Aside from imbuing deep vocal characterization value, Jones is a laudable face actor, playing intense roles in films like Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, Field of Dreams, The Hunt for Red October, Conan the Barbarian and the 60's sensation Doctor Strangelove among many, many other great, riveting performances.

Impressive....most impressive...

Thanks JEJ, for giving us the ability to recognize Vader before he ever walked in a room.
