James Earl Jones marked another milestone as he celebrated his 90th birthday.

According to USA Today, the Tony award winner, widely known as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors in Hollywood, said that he'd be spending his special day at his New York home.

What's more interesting is that the "Coming to America" star was looking forward to dig in and "enjoy" his favorite treat.

"I will keep having to remind myself that it's my birthday," he told the outlet, adding that he'll make it memorable by eating his favorite strawberry shortcake.

"I'll make an exception and enjoy a slice of strawberry shortcake, my favorite!"

With over seven decades in the entertainment industry, James Earl Jones' popularity skyrocketed through his iconic voice-over roles.

The Mississippi-born actor is the voice behind "Star Wars" primary protagonist, Darth Vader, as well as Simba's father, Mufasa, in the Walt Disney animated musical drama film "The Lion King."

It was then followed by numerous theater shows such as "Danton's Death" in 1965, "The Iceman Cometh" from 1973 to 1974, and "Of Mice and Men."
