You likely have not heard the last from him though.  He did licensed his voice to be used by AI, for Darth Vader at least.

I suspect it might be a bit strange, but also a bit nice that we haven't actually lost his voice.  I wonder if his estate might license it for more later, which is where it might get weird.

His role as Admiral Greer in Hunt for Red October was seminal.  Believe it or not, to have a black man portray such a senior military role at that time was pretty edgy for Hollywood. His performance was so good, I bet you never even questioned it.  

I'd forgotten about that. I recall now being somewhat surprised about that myself, young as I was, when I read the book (after seeing the movie) and placing him in that high role in my mind's eye.
