In a world with movie trailers, one man would be the voice…
Don LaFontaine, the man behind over 5000 movie trailers, has passed away. More about Don:
Over the past 25 years, LaFontaine cemented his position as the “King of Voiceovers.” Aside from being the preeminent voice in the movie trailer industry, Don also worked as the voice of Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, as well as for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and UPN, in addition to TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network. By conservative estimates, he voiced hundreds of thousands of television and radio spots, including commercials for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Ford, Budweiser, McDonalds, Coke, and many other corporate sponsors.
Trust me, you have heard this man’s voice. As fas as movies go, he is an icon. We’ll miss you buddy!

I for one will miss this guy. He literally was in everything. In other news, too bad he couldn’t have been the announcer for the new Google Chrome. I can’t wait!
