Don LaFontaine, Movie Trailer 'Voice of God,' Dead at 68
In a world of cliche movie trailers, one man created more cliches than any other. That man was Don LaFontaine, whose gravely voice accompanied seemingly every trailer in theaters (and more than a few self-parodying commercials). Sadly, he passed away earlier this week with complications from a collapsed lung., after having contributed over 5,000 movie trailers and something like 750,000 commercials. The above clip is a retrospective of his career, which is one of the most impressive in Hollywood (despite being largely behind the scenes). [From: Valleywag]

Wow.....I don't think there was a more famous obscure person in the world than Don LaFontaine. Almost everyone in the United States and Canada has heard this man speak several times throughout the course of their lives, but never knew his name or what he looked like. This man could talk up and make you happily anticipate root canal work.
Heck, only until recently did we all get a peek at the man behind the booming voice when he graced a recent "Geico" ad, playing himself and using the voice that made him a household sound.
R.I.P, Don....from a fellow broadcaster and voice artist, you were "da man"!

It is sad to know about LaFontane... I was some kind of his fan...
R.I.P, Don.
