A brief but very memorable role that was the perfect end to the Pickle the Beast saga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 The first time I watched James Earl Jones was when he played Barney Hill in the 1975 TV movie "The UFO Incident". (Real life) Barney and Betty Hill claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1961 New Hampshire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Jones played sleazy lawyer Lee Atkins for two episodes of L.A. Law back in the late 80's. District Attorney Grace van Owen (Susan Dey) hated him with a passion, as he always weaseled his way out of a court decision, so he would never "lose" a case. I remember when Atkins escaped the case that she was winning (it was declared a mistrial), he gave her a pompous, mocking smile. She was so PISSED.....

Principled Man Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 And that's why right-thinking school boards all across the country have been banning this man's S-H-l-T since 1969. You know why he stopped writing books? Because he masturbates! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know why he stopped writing books? Because he masturbates! Gotta love Amy Madigan as Amy Kinsella, and her response- "At least he is not a book burner, you Nazi cow." Who ever thought we would be dealing with this in real life again? RIP, James Earl Jones. He was so great as Terence Mann. I would have loved to see him in Fences on Broadway- apparently it was a life changing performance; and I can see where it would be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
