Don LaFontaine, voice-over king, dies at 68

[YesNo]

You may never have heard of him but you've definitely heard his voice.

He's voiced hundreRAB of movie trailers most notably starting of with "In a world where....."

RIP

More about him plus an interview here

I'll miss that deep voice

Edit: Whoops just seen the other thread, sorry

You're kidding me - 68? I dunno why but I thought he'd be much younger than that. They'll absolutely never replace that voice, no way. It'll be sorely missed. It's a Hollywood-defining voice over. Nothing says movies more than that deep bass rumble.

Sad news indeed.

Film and tv show trailers will never be quite the same. This guy is probably the biggest, yet least known, legend in popular media. He shall most definitely be missed.

Rest In Peace.
