NAMES IN THE NEWS : Jones Falls in Love With Alaska
Actor James Earl Jones didn’t exactly come back empty-handed from a fishing trip over the weekend.
“I didn’t catch anything except a heart full of love for this country,” Jones said during his weekend stay in Juneau to narrate a film about the killer whale Shamu for the Sea World marine parks.
The name Shamu is given to several whales used at parks in California, Florida, Texas and Ohio.
“This is a new idea at Sea World,” said Jones, the voice of Darth Vadar in “Star Wars.” “Instead of just voice narration for the shows, they use a large screen to show natural habitats and other background of the animals.”
