As the star of Disney's live-action prequel Mufasa: The Lion King, Aaron Pierre has some big shoes to fill. The titular lion, known for his benevolence and wisdom he bestowed on young Simba, was twice played by the great James Earl Jones in both the original animated The Lion King and its 2019 live-action remake. With his booming voice, he gave the former Lion King an air of power and confidence with a caring side for his son who would one day take his place, making the character one of his most memorable in a long career full of iconic performances. Pierre isn't necessarily trying to replicate Jones's take on the patriarch of Pride Rock, however.
