James Earl Jones. White House. Othello. Video

I am linking this before I’ve even finished watching it. :)

“When I found out that I had a chance to come to the White House to deliver two or three minutes in the realm of poetry I immediately thought of Dr. Seuss…or William Shakespeare.  And then I remembered how Jesse Jackson had so well acquitted himself with Green Eggs and Ham-you remember that, do you? - so I decided best I stick with Shakespeare.”

One thing's for sure--both he and Shakespeare know how to work a room.
Stunning--thanks for that, Duane
