Robert Earl Jones was the father of James Earl Jones and he was a presence more in the world of theater than in the movies and TV as his son was. (Not to say that James Earl Jones hasn't made his mark on stage.) He died on September 7th at the age of 96.
In my opinion, his best known role would be that of Luther Coleman, the ill-fated partner to Robert Redford's grifter in "The Sting". But he also made his mark in Toobworld as well:
