    his voice is renown for his roles in Disney films and star wars. his voice is great in the way he reads the new testament on audio tapes. his voice is one to remember the stories told about the civil rights and the battle they did to be free. his voice is amazing and a man who i wish i could meet and thank for his ability to teach so many people in so many ways. when he does movies as a preacher or speaks of the bible the way he does people listen. god has blessed this man in many ways
