93 is a long life. Good for him. I hope he was at peace.

Field of Dreams? Of all the things he's done they went with "Field of Dreams?"

I would have gone Mufasa first in a heartbeat.

Have a good one James, RIP. Impressive actor and certainly his voice could be soothing but often terrifying.

Ah man, rest in peace.

I remember playing one of the command & conquer games and he was playing a general in that.

Westwood always made great cutscenes with great actors.

RIP to a great actor. My condolences to any family on the fediverse.

I enjoyed him most as father of Eddie Murphy.
