Arts Oct 1, 2014 6:34 PM EDT On Thursday, PBS NewsHour’s Jeffrey Brown will sit down for an interview with actor James Earl Jones — currently starring in “You Can’t Take It With You” on Broadway in New York City — and we want your questions. A celebrated actor of stage and screen, Jones’s career has spanned more than six decades from a Tony Award-winning performance in “The Great White Hope” (and an Academy Award nomination for the same role in the movie version) to voice acting roles, including Darth Vader in Star Wars and Mufasa in Disney’s The Lion King. In the revival of “You Can’t Take It With You,” which opened last week, Jones leads a cast of 20 playing an eccentric older man who lives by the philosophy, “don’t do anything that you’re not going to enjoy doing.” We’re asking: Do you have questions for Jones? Share your suggestions in the comments below, or share with @NewsHour on Twitter or post to Facebook, and your question may be asked. And if you could hear James Earl Jones say anything, what would it be? Tell us below. We're not going anywhere. Stand up for truly independent, trusted news that you can count on!
