James Earl Jones vs Jeremy Irons
« on: 20 Sep 2008, 19:41 »

 Who would you rather have narrate your life, Jeremy Irons(Voice of Scar from the Lion King) or James Earl Jones (voice of Mufasa from the lion king and Darth Vader)?



Since so many people are coming up with there own suggestions if your life was a movie who would you want to narrate it.

Sure James Earl Jones' voice has its merits, but compared to Jeremy Irons, he might as well be a white noise machine.

In fact, all sound is white noise compared to Jeremy Irons' voice.

Personally I'm amazed that Morgan Freeman isn't in the running, but I'd go with James Earl Jones.

I'd probably choose James Earl Jones considering how he showed up Morgan Freeman's lines in Scary Movie 4. Only the last part of that film was worth watching.

Oddly enough, I didn't know that until now.  Him, too, then.  He can do the lighter bits, James Earl Jones can do the darker bits.
