James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones accepted his very first delegation during the Korean War as the second lieutenant. Then in the 50s, the gentleman reported to Fort Benning’s Infantry Officers Basic Course and underwent training to join the US Army Rangers, but unfortunately, he did not get the opportunity to finish the program.

Still, before James left the military, he was ranked as the first lieutenant, and when he ventured into showbiz, he was eagerly accepted into the entertainment industry. The icon voiced Mufasa in The Lion King and even lent his voice-over talents to the Star Wars franchise.
