His deep authoritative voice calls our attention and demands that we take note. But Jones is much more than a voice, he a celebrated actor and philanthropist. On January 24, 2005 the Oxonian Society welcomes, by special engagement, an icon of our times, the legendary James Earl Jones. Today millions recognize Jones as the voice of CNN. His voice announces the network's pioneering coverage of world events with his basso voice, "This . . . is CNN." It is also Jones' voice that ensures our confidence in Verizon telephone services. James Earl Jones is famous for his impressively deep and authoritative voice and his outstanding acting that has won him two Tony Awards, a Golden Globe and an Emmy. He ignited the silver screen as the thunderous voice behind one of the greatest villains of all time, Darth Vadar, in the Star Wars trilogy. His commanding presence on Broadway won him two Tony awards for his roles in "Fences" and "The Great White Hope." This spring he returns to Broadway, starring in "On Golden Pond." Poet, actor and winner of the John F. Kennedy Center's Honorary Award, James Earl Jones is one of America's most recognizable and talented figures. His box office hits include co-starring in films such as The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Field of Dreams. James Earl Jones' impressive and diverse acting career began as a way to help overcome a severe stutter from childhood. For eight years he refused to even talk. Today Jones is an active and generous supporter of non-profit organizations and federally-funded outreach programs such as Literacy Volunteers of America and the No Child Left Behind Act's Reading First Initiative. James Earl Jones will provide the Oxonian Society with a rare and unparalleled speech.
