Throughout his career, Jones has portrayed a wide range of characters on stage and screen, but he is perhaps best known for his iconic role as the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise. While he initially didn’t anticipate the immense popularity of his villainous character, Jones embraced his fame and even used it to have some fun during his travels across the country.

One particular anecdote shared by Jones highlights his playful nature and sense of humor. While on the road, he used “Darth” as his handle on the CB radio, much to the surprise and delight of truck drivers who recognized his voice as that of Darth Vader. However, after causing quite a stir among his fellow travelers, Jones eventually had to retire his CB radio alias to avoid further confusion and excitement.

He has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in 2011 and a special Tony Award for lifetime achievement in 2017. These awards, along with the National Medal of Arts from President George Bush in 1992 and the Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, solidify Jones’ status as a true icon in the entertainment industry.
