Fear Not!... Even though he has passed you can count on "AI" to clone his voice and it'll be as if he NEVER PASSED on!

Wow, no way! His role as the CIA guy in The Hunt for Red October was my favorite. RIP Mr. Jones.

I believe his was also the “voice” that was used in the VERIZON trademark when it first appeared in ads for the company that was created out of the merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE, in 2000.

Former Army Ranger.

His finest role was the CSM in Gardens of Stone.

Epic.

Not sure if it’s still being used since I never watch it but he also voiced the intro This is CNN.

I loved his short role at the end of “Sneakers” as the mysterious intel guy who has to make promises to the Sneakers gang in exchange for the decryption device.
