Conan, Field of Dreams and Darth Vader obviously.
shareI left off Darth Vader, as a voiceover it is the best, but he wasn't strictly acting in the movie(s). Well, not onscreen.
His Vader performance is one of the best ever. Maybe even the hardest. He must have been in a studio, with a script. Reading lines. And delivering that performance "blind" is impressive.
Yeah, i've thought about that. He didn't even know what was going on. He's just in a sound booth and like, "I'm gonna go full Shakespeare, screw it." That's why it's so awesome, why it stands out against everything that's going on around him, and creates a next level mystique of antiquity around the character.
