In addition, Jones has appeared in The Hunt For Red October as Admiral Greer and played King Jaffe Joffer in Comi...

Beyoncé would go on to draw on The Lion King as inspiration for her later project Black is King. Undoubtedly one of the biggest musical superstars of all time, Beyoncé has sold over 100 millio...
