If it seemed at times that James Earl Jones was everywhere, it was perhaps because he really was. Over a 50-year career, Jones -- who died on Monday at the age of 93 -- acted prolifically on television, in movies and under the spotlight of Broadway stages, one of which is now named after him.

An imposing man who stood taller than six feet, Jones was hard to miss. But it was his voice -- deep, authoritative, powerful and sometimes menacing -- that some fans may most remember. His voice work as Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy and as Mufasa in "The Lion King" conveyed his presence to millions without audiences ever seeing him.

Here are some snapshots from his life and career.
