James Earl Jones provided the voice of Darth Vader in the original trilogy. In an interview with BBC News, Jones asserted that George Lucas's first choice for that role was Orson Welles. But Lucas reasoned that Welles's voice was too well-known.
The tragedy is that Bobcat Goldthwait was too young provide his voice. Surely he would have been the ideal Vader.
What other actors do you think would have been good in the role of Darth Vader?

Max Von Sydow, Jurgen Prochnow, & Udo Kier.

gravitas to the voice..........
