--James Earl Jones


 The Great White Hope (1970, based on a 1968 Broadway play, also starring Jones, for which he won a Tony--Kirk)

Claudine (1974. No great shakes as a movie, but I've always liked Jones in it--Kirk)

Fences (1987 Broadway play for which Jones won his second Tony--Kirk)


CNN promo (1994. Made me want to watch the news--Kirk)
